Taylor Schilling – Laura Mercier Makeup Look

Makeup artist Tina Turnbow created an “ethereal and angelic” look for “Best Lead Actress in a Comedy” nominee, Taylor Schilling, at the 66^th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.  Turnbow was inspired by the sparkle and creamy tones of Schilling’s Zuhair Murad couture gown, and complemented the gown with a combination of a “sultry” copper eye and strong brows.

FACE: Glowing, ethereal skin

• Turnbow first prepped the skin with Colbert M.D. Illumino Face Oil and then used her fingers to apply Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance, $33 all over Schilling’s face.

• She then applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen in Nude, $43 and covered small imperfections with Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer, $28.

• To illuminate the cheeks, she first applied Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Colour in Pink Glow, $32 to the apples of the cheek. Next, she blended Laura Mercier Metallic Crème Eye Colour in Platinum, $24 on the back of her hand and dabbed in a bit of Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance, $33. Turnbow applied this combination to the top of Schilling’s cheeks, the bridge of her nose, her cupids bow and her brow bone to give the skin a luminous look.

• Lastly, she applied Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, $24 to ensure Schilling’s makeup stayed in place all night.

EYES: Sultry, mysterious copper eyes

• First, Turnbow lined the inner rim of the top lash line with Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Brown Copper, $24, smudging the colour out slightly.

• Next, she brushed Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Cocoa, $28 onto the back of her hand and applied it with a fluffy brush to give a wash of colour over the eyelids. She swept the shade out from the crease and applied a little to the outer corner of Schilling’s eyes to elongate and provide depth.

• She then added Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour in Cognac, $24 on the lids and along the brow bones to give them a slight pop of copper colour.

• To highlight the eyes, she applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Moonlight, $28 in the inner corners and on the center of the lid, providing a bit of sparkle to the look.

• Lastly, Turnbow lightly applied Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara in Black, $25 to the top and bottom lashes, providing just enough colour to define the lashes.

BROWS: Strong brows framed the face

• First, Turnbow filled in the eyebrows with Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil in Soft Brunette, $22.

• She then rolled a spoolie into the Laura Mercier Brow Definer in Warm, $20 and brushed the colour onto the eyebrows, which gave Schilling’s eyebrows extra thickness.

LIPS: “Bitten” lips

• To prepare the lips, Turnbow first applied RéVive Intensité Volumizing Lip Serum, $115, which helped to plump the lip area.

• Using her finger tips, she applied Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour in Sin, $25 onto the lips. She kept it very sheer – almost stain like – so it appeared like a “bitten look.”

BODY: Illuminated Skin

• To give the final touch of glamour to the look, Turnbow applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance, $33 on Schilling’s shoulders and back, which helped to tone down unevenness and provide luminosity to the skin.
