Angela Bassett attends the 93rd Annual Academy Awards at Union Station on April 25, 2021 in Los Angeles, California.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are many Oscars moments I simply <\/span>can’t\u00a0<\/span><\/em>stop thinking about this evening: Halle Berry’s drastic haircut<\/a>, Zendaya’s $6 million worth of Bulgari jewels<\/a>, and Angela Bassett’s double take-worthy blue eyeshadow, the work of celebrity makeup artist D\u2019Andre Michael for Lanc\u00f4me. Even though it’s 10:02 EST on a Sunday evening, the star’s glam has me thinking about digging up my most colorful eyeshadow palette. <\/span><\/p>\n

The inspiration? “The overall look was royal and regal, inspired by Cleopatra, a woman in charge of her own destiny,” the makeup artist explains in a statement provided to\u00a0<\/span>GRAZIA<\/span><\/em>. “Leading with beauty, confidence, and dignity, she doesn’t bow to rules. She paves the way, sets the tone, and she does what others don’t have the guts to do.”<\/span><\/p>\n

To bring the gorgeous blue smoky eye to life, the makeup artist used the Lanc\u00f4me Hypn\u00f4se 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Bleu Hypnotique and shade #4 (shimmer cobalt blue) over the entire eyelid and lower lid below the lashes. He then used shade #5 (matte navy) on the upper and lower lash line and blended out to the corners for dimension and smoky eye effect. After that, he used a blend of shades #1 (shimmer white) and #3 (gold) in the inner corners of her eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once her eyeshadow was *chefs kiss* perfect, Michael artist added Lanc\u00f4me Le Crayon Kh\u00f4l in Black Ebony on the inner lower and upper eyelid, smudging it along the lower lash. He <\/span>finished her eye makeup with a few coats of the cult-favorite Lanc\u00f4me Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara on the upper and lower eyelashes for length and drama.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
