With Game of Thrones setting records and Viola Davis becoming the first African-American woman to win Best Lead Actress, this year’s Emmys were filled with epic moments. No wonder our favourite stars felt they had to live up to the show with equally dramatic and standout beauty looks. Here are some of our favourites and how to get them at home.
Amy Poehler
Our First Lady of Comedy was rocking a powerfully pretty look on the red carpet, with dramatically lined eyes offset by a pink lip and gently waved hair. Get the look by drawing a thin line of black eyeliner around your waterline and layering on a soft pink lip tint. Finish by styling hair with a Beach Waves texturising salt spray et voila! Tres jolie, mon Amy.
Aubrey Plaza
Another one of our favourite funny ladies was also looking pretty in pink at this year’s awards. Aubrey opted for a daring pink eyeshadow (you’ll find the perfect shade in W7 Cosmetics’ In The Night Up In Smoke Eyeshadow Palette) with a cute coral lipstick to match.
Kerry Washington
One of the most sophisticated looks of the night in our opinion, Ms. Washington let glowing skin do the talking, finishing off with a neutral coffee-coloured lip and lashings of mascara. For your ultimate Kerry Kit, you’ll need a highlighting kit, a latte lip tint, and an extra lengthening mascara.
Amanda Peet
Opting for a much more striking look than many of her red carpet peers, Ms. Peet looked like she’d just stepped off of the Topshop SS16 runway with her bold brows and bright red lips. To mimic her perfect eyebrows, fix up yours with a W7 Cosmetics Brow Parlour Eyebrow Grooming Kit then slick on a classic red lip. The focus is all on the brows and lips with this look so a nude eyeshadow palette is all your peepers will need to finish up.
Lady Gaga
Looking every inch the Hollywood glamazon, Gaga abandoned her normal kooky styling in favour of a classically retro look this year, matching a platinum blonde bob with skyscraper lashes. Steal her style by grabbing some Revlon Nutri Color Creme in White Platinum then adorning your peepers with the most dramatic false lashes you can find.
