Golden age glamour! Miranda Kerr drew a ton of attention at last night’s 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
The Australian model’s look was created exclusively with CARGO Cosmetics by Lisa Storey. Below is the breakdown straight from Lisa:
“We felt inspired by the dress which was custom Pucci, in cream with embellished edges and cut out sides plus a super low back. Miranda and I decided on a classy 40’s glam inspired look with a modern radiant feel.”
Miranda Kerr
TO CREATE THE LOOK:
On the skin I used a sheer cover of CARGO HD Picture Perfect Liquid Foundation then applied the One Base Concealer and foundation where needed for a heavier coverage using the Magic Brush.
On the cheeks I began building a flushed look; first with the cream Colorstick in Santorini, then a dab on the apples of the cheeks with Powder Blush In Key Largo and then a dusting on the cheeks above the brows and tip of the nose with BeachBlush in Miami Beach which created that radiant glow.
For Miranda’s sultry stare, I lined the eyes lightly top and bottom with Swimmables Eye Pencil in Pebble Beach and smudged it with a Magic Eye Brush to gently frame the eye.
Then using the Essentials Eye Palette I applied Metro to the inner corners, adding Brownstone to the outer edge, again top and bottom and gently sheering it out to create a deeper soft frame around the eye. I contoured the eye socket with Rush Hour and highlighted under the brow with Uptown finishing with the Triple Action Mascara in Black. I shaped the brows with a little more drama using the Eye Brow Pencil in Medium.
The lips I lined with the Swimmables Reverse Lip Liner (Love this product!) and to complete the look I generously applied Essential Lip Color in Paris.

I love the Limitless 15 Hour Wear cream eye shadow and the Always Sharp waterproof Khol liner by Smashbox. To start off, The eye shadow colors that I used were called Gemstone which is a shimmering light brown color, and the other one was called Neptune and that one was a beautiful greenish-blue color. First of all, this eye shadow goes on really smoothly and evenly. Plus on top of that, each eye cream shadow has absolutely amazing pigmentation which makes the colors look very bold, noticeable, shimmery and makes for mesmerizing eyes no matter what color. The name of this product doesn’t lie. The eye cream shadow lasts way longer than most eye shadows and won’t ever fade or smudge on you so you won’t have to worry about constant touch ups!
The name of the eyeliner that I used was called French Navy. I especially love this product because I’m a huge fan of eyeliner and I’ve tried many different brands and I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite eyeliners that I’ve ever used. The reasons why are simple, after a while of wearing some eyeliners, especially if you’re wearing it on the waterline of your eye, it will start to smudge and go below the waterline and it makes under your eye look really dark. But since this eyeliner is waterproof, it will stay on your waterline for extended amounts of time without it smudging. Another thing to love about this product is that there’s a sharpener inside of the cap so when you twist it to the right it sharpens itself! Along with all those reasons to love this eyeliner, the color is amazing and has great pigmentation.
So if you would like long lasting eye cream shadow and eyeliner, you should definitely try these Smashbox products! Smashbox eye liners and shadows make the perfect stocking stuffer! www.smashbox.com
