The makeup artist Vincent Oquendo is quite sure that he and stylist Marc Mena said with actress Karla Sofía Gascón, the star of the Golden Globe this year, Emilia Pérez. “When Marc and I were working together at the Cannnes Film Festival with Lily Gladstone, I already had Karla on my radar because I had read the synopsis to Emilia Pérez And I thought it sounded out of this world, “he says. I had the feeling that it would be great, sometimes I am a bit sorcerer, so I sent an email to my agent about Karla. I wrote:” She is a trans actress. Really because to support her. I don’t care if there is money involved. “” This Friday, Oquendo and Mena followed the actress to Palm Springs for the opening night of the Palm Springs International Film Festival, where the Emilia Pérez Cast received the Vanguard award. Here, the makeup artist guides us through the aspect of Gascón.
“When I go to Film Festivals, I look through all the films that are in competition. I look for the cast. I read all the articles. It is a privilege to be able to create an appearance for some of those that I find incredible. Emilia Pérez He is so honest. She is incredibly magnetic on the screen.
Freddy Alonso designed Karla in this very sexy drapey issue, beyond what I would, from Vivienne Westwood, so she wanted to go for Dolce Vibes with some advantage with her makeup. But first, I prepared your skin. I love Dr. Dennis Gross’s LED mask, so I started with that. I also used the Jillian Dempsey gold bar on it. It really starts the circulation and makes the skin look really alive. It is also really relaxing. While that happens, I had its use of Lift + Depuff’s eye masks of Goop Beauty. Then the time of Beau Domaine’s moisturizer came. It smells very lovely, but I also love how makeup grabs, and it is not too emollient, so it will not make the products separate. Lumify’s Illuminations Eye Cream is also excellent because it has a soft brightness that makes the eyes under the eyes really bright, which is the dream of a red carpet. Ah, and because Karla is taking so many flights and always on the fly, I also put a drop of drops for Lumify’s eyes in each eye.
When it comes to makeup, it is the brushes for me; They are the key to a really beautiful base. Anisa are my go-t. They are synthetic and linked so beautifully. I used the Environmental Foundation 8 From the sand watch and polished it with the Anisa Pinnacle Foundation brush. I like using the same brush to walk in the corrector: I used Touche Éclat in 4.5 And the sand watch disappears in the airbrush 7.5 In Karla. Then I took Anisa’s eye fan brush, which is really intended for eye shadow, to hide imperfections or darkness or to highlight specific areas. I like how much control gives you and has a dome shape that basically makes the entire mixture.
I used the vulnerable blush of Rare Beauty’s Stay vulnerable Almost Malvathat has an excellent color reward, and Bronzer’s warm desires adhere Happy sun To contour. Anisa has this new and fabulous angled cream brush that makes it so easy. I like to apply everything in layers to create a really beautiful depth, so I will slide, mix and repeat.
If you have seen Emilia PérezYou know that Karla’s eyes have this beautiful shine for them. I always try to emphasize them while I keep them simple. I arrived my eyes, both above and lower, with the lining of Satin Kajal by Victoria Beckham Beauty in AshA kind of gray, before staining and smoking everything about LEDs. Then I tok BronzeA bright tone, and made a tight line. I also used it in the inner corner or in your eyes. Before the Rímel, like the future of Victoria Beckham Beauty, because it is quite resistant to water and never bleeds, never forgets to curl the eyelashes. Special with my most mature customers, I find that this is so important to give it an instantaneous look of the bright eye. The Tweezerman curator is my super favorite because it gives you a curl without having to work too hard. That is the number one thing: you don’t want to have to press so strong about your eyelashes that you risk Damag.
Karla likes her natural lip color, so I like to play a little. I went for Revlon’s lip balm in Naked illuminatorA pink and lip -linked tone, but highlighted the arch of his lips with the strange beauty higher in LookThat I like to apply with my little finger.
Always use one/size in ‘Until the Dawn adjustment spray to finish a look. Makeup literally does not move when you use this. It is also semi -atifier, what I personally like because you don’t want to worry about your customers look bright. It is the dream of a makeup artist. “
