The Met Gala in New York City is one of the most glamorous events of the year. I had a great time seeing all the images from the soiree that honored Comme des Garçons’s Rei Kawakubo on Monday night. One of the beauties that stood out was “The Leftovers” star Margaret Qualley who wore a custom black and white gown created by Prabal Gurung. My favorite thing about her look was her makeup, created by celebrity makeup artist Talia Sparrow for IT Cosmetics who says her inspiration was the idea of “natural beauty, with originality.”
Get the Look: Margaret Qualley at the Met Gala
One of the most important steps when it comes to makeup application is the preparation. Talia used four popular products from IT Cosmetics that most women should have in their arsenal.
Skin Prep Steps
1. First, Talia cleansed the face with Bye Bye Makeup Melting Balm
2. Next, she gently massaged IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream™ into Margaret’s skin
3. Thirdly, she apply IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Eye Cream™ to under eye area using ring finger
4. Finally, she applied Bye Bye Pore Primer to Margaret’s entire face, starting at the center and blending outward
With these first steps done perfectly, you’re ready to create some magic! Margaret had to maintain her look all night, and it looks like she was successful. Her dewy yet natural look was on point in every photo posted on social media that I saw.
Here’s how you can get the look yourself:
