Isla always makes me laugh. She’s definitely one of the funniest woman I’ve ever worked with, and I love that she can crack up the room with a joke, a story, or simply a look.
During the many days of press for one of the recent films in which she stars – The Great Gatsby – I convinced her that she needed to branch out from her usual nude lip color because she looks FANTASTIC in a bold lip. From that day forward, she let me experiment, painting her mouth with bright pinks, deep berries, and bold reds. Since then, every time I arrive to get her ready to walk a red carpet, shoot a picture for a magazine or make an appearance on TV, she points to the outfit she’ll be wearing and says with an excited smile: what do you think? Should we do a lip?
For the shoot above, however, we opted for a more neutral palette, one that every woman can feel beautiful wearing, and easily accomplish on herself . This is what I used:
ON HER EYES
To make her brown eyes smolder, I pressed two shades of shadow from Neal’s Yard Remedies cosmetics line in Barley and Cocoa, and into the inner corners I lightly pressed Kjaer Weis shadow in Cloud Nine to add even more dimension.
I used Dr. Hauschka Kajal eyeliner in 07, Mellow Sienna Brown, (which was just a seasonal release, so I apologize – it may be hard to find if you don’t want to order it through the link above) to smudge along the inside of her lash line, on both the top and the bottom.
On her lashes I used multiple coats of Korres mascara in Obsidian Black.
