Every Product Behind Ella Balinska’s Old Hollywood-Inspired Met Gala Look

“On the morning of a big day like the Met Gala, I love to box. I love boxing because it clears my head and it’s important for me on a big day to walk into my client’s room with a clear and focused mind. “On a big red carpet day, it’s normal for me to not get a lot of sleep the night before. On the morning of, I use Lumify’s Redness Reliever Eye Drops ($13) from Bausch + Lomb. It helps reduce redness, leaving my eyes looking brighter and whiter for up to 8 hours.” 
"The Inspiration for Ella’s makeup was Anne Baxter from All About Eve meets Diana Ross. For a nod to classic Hollywood glamour, I created different liners and kept it modern by playing with different textures of silver on the eyes."
"For Ella’s Camp-inspired makeup look, the focus was all on the eyes. I started by etching out the liners with the Shiseido MicroLiner Ink in Brown ($22) to create the shape. Once the shapes were established, I went over it with the Shiseido Archliner Ink Eyeliner ($24) to define the liners and give the eye depth. "In between the liners on the outer corners, I added a flick of the Shiseido Kajal InkArtist in Kabuki White ($25) and then rimmed her water line to brighten. For the gun metal effect on the eyes, I used the Shiseido Aura Dew in Lunar ($25). I wanted to play with all different textures of silver to tie into the beautiful dress. I finished the eyes with corner lashes and lots of coats of the Shiseido ControlledChaos Volumizing Mascara Ink in Black Pulse ($25). Using the Shiseido Brow Ink Trio in Ebony ($24), I created a straighter brow shape."
"For skin, I concealed and highlighted with Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30) and buffed the brand’s Sheer Glow Foundation ($47) all over her face. I highlighted with the Shiseido Inner Glow Cheek Powder in Inner Light ($29) and sculpted with the Shiseido Inner Glow Cheek Powder in Cocoa Dusk ($29)."
"With all the focus on the eyes, we wanted a very sheer nude lip. I used the Shiseido ColorGel Lip Balm in Bamboo ($26) to complete the look." Next up, check out all the best beauty looks we saw on the 2019 Met Gala carpet.
