At the 2022 Grammy Awards this evening, first-time guest and nominee Olivia Rodrigo won the prestige accolade for Best New Artist. She walked the red carpet and took to the stage in Vivienne Westwood, matching opera gloves and platform heels. “I wanted to do something like fun and young,” she told E! News red carpet host, Laverne Cox. “But you know we’re at the Grammys. It’s glamorous. It’s classy. So, that’s the vibe.”
Indeed, the “Good 4 U” singer was dressed to win after being nominated for a huge seven categories. To accompany her glam gown was a “90s supermodel, modern punk glam” makeup look by artist Lilly Keys. The full-face, which Keys describes as a “dusty rose stained lips, dramatic sharp liner and glowing skin,” was courtesy of Glossier.
Below, Keys outlines every step and every technique so you can try the same at home.
FACE
I began with prepping the skin with Perfecting Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer . After, I combined together Cloud Paint in both Beam and Storm and blended onto the apples of the cheeks very lightly, using small circular motions with a fluffy brush, adding a tiny bit to the bridge of the nose for that sun-kissed, healthy glow. Following, I took cream bronzer brush and applying Solar Paint and blending along the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and a tiny dusting on the chin to balance the face.
For highlighter, I’m obsessed with Futuredew , which can also be used as a dewy, glowy moisturizer, which I added to the high points of the face. I finished with Haloscope in Quartz along the tops of the cheekbones, the tip of the nose and just above the cupids bow for glowy, dewy skin.
EYES + BROWS
For the lavender lid, I began with the matte shadow from the Monochromes palette in Mist, concentrating the color on the outer corners of the upper eyelid and blending outwards.
I followed with the two shimmery shadows in the palette & blended in the center of the lid.
I then took the Pro Tip liner and used short strokes on the upper lash line, taking the liner and wing it out to a sharp point straight across, and slightly upwards, into a dramatic but sharp cat flick.
Drawing the liquid liner into the inner corners of the eye into a small sharp point. I finished the eye look Lash Slick, coating the lashes upwards, giving a feathery fluffy lash vibe on both upper and lower lashes.
For brows, I brushed the brows upward with Boy Brow in brown and then used the Brow Flick to fill in any gaps.
LIPS
To get the lip look, I used Ultralip in Villa, smudging the lipstick into the lips, smooshing just above the upper lip line with my fingers to give that just kissed look, and finished off with Balm Dotcom in Cookie Butter for gorgeous smelling lips!
Rodrigo is nominated for seven awards and is included in the “big four” nominations, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. If she was to win them all, she’d follow Billie Eilish who made a historic clean sweep in 2020.
