#CopyThat: Alicia Vikander’s Berry Lips
To say that we have a crush on Alicia Vikander would be putting it lightly. The Swedish-born beauty first wowed us with her acting chops in The Danish Girl. Then Vikander stole our hearts offscreen when she sparkled in a sequin color-block Louis Vuitton gown with pin-straight strands at the 2016 SAG Awards. She consistently serves glamour and grace on the red carpet, and those are qualities we can’t help but try to emulate.
So Yahoo Beauty teamed up with makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes for a “Copy That” video inspired by the berry beautiful lip Vikander wore to the Las Vegas premiere of Jason Bourne. Pay close attention while watching the tutorial above, and if you miss a beat, we’ve got you covered with more details below.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Brush on the highlighter from the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette across your eyelids and the inner corners of your eyes, down the bridge of your nose, and atop your Cupid’s bow.
2. Apply a deep brown eye shadow (try the rich chocolate pigment from the By Terry Eye Designer Palette in Color Design) to the outer corners of your eyes, into the crease, and along your lower lash line.
3. Using swift and short strokes, create a V shape at the upper and lower lash line with MAC Eye Kohl in Phone Number. Smudge the product in with a small flat brush to get a soft cat eye. Then use Surratt Auto-Graphique Liner to achieve a flawless wing.
4. Lengthen and darken eyelashes with a few generous strokes of Chanel’s Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir. Pro trick: Hold the mascara brush vertically for better control.
5. For an eye-opening effect, apply three sets of individual lashes (Hughes uses Ardell Lash Trios) on the outer corners. Be sure to stick with the shorter style!
6. A multipurpose beauty product like the Pixi by Petra Multi Balm in Soft Strawberry is a foolproof way to add warmth to your cheeks and lips. Use a stippling brush when using it as a blush and your fingertips to gently press the pigment into your lips. These application techniques provide a nice stained effect. To intensify your lip color, layer on Butter London Fresh Gloss in Flirt.
7. Complete this red carpet-inspired beauty look with Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder, tracing along your hairline and cheeks in a C shape for a sun-kissed glow. And don’t forget to dust behind your ears if your hair will be pulled back.
