#CopyThat: Kerry Washington’s Golden Eyes

Dana Oliver

If a skin care brand figured out how to bottle Kerry Washington’s pregnancy glow from the 2016 Emmys, we’d slather ourselves in every last bit of it. Seeing as that’s likely far from possible, we will happily settle on copying the Scandal star’s golden eyes.

Washington’s gleaming gold shadow was just as spectacular as the big, curly hair (using extensions by her longtime stylist, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew) she rocked on the Emmy red carpet. Pay close attention to makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes in the video above, as she shows us how to get our shine on like the actress. If you need more details, don’t worry — it’s been handled. Just keep reading for all the step-by-step instructions.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Once you’ve moisturized and even out your skin with a matching foundation, use a small flat brush to apply Merle Norman Brilliant Dimension Shadow in Gold Rush across entire lid.

2. Take a fine pencil brush and dip it into MAC Pro Longwear Fluidline in BlackTrack to draw on winged eyeliner.

3. Apply Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes mascara vertically to prevent clumping.

4. Amplify your natural lashes with Ardell Wispies strips. For accurate placement, use tweezers.

5. Stipple Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Luminous Blush in Tigerlily below cheekbone for a modern-day flush.

6. Dab the two lightest shades from the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Lip in Nude onto center of lips with your fingertips, blending outward.

7. Brush up and define eyebrows with Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows Brow Gel to finish.
