Heidi Klum at the 81st Academy Awards

81st Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals
Have I mentioned how much I love Victoria's Secret beauty products? I'm still a virgin when it comes to their lingerie but I was able to find a Victoria's Secret outlet near me and I hope to visit soon! Anyway, Heidi Klum was made up by celebrity makeup artist Linda Hay for Victoria's Secret Beauty. Serge Normant did her hair. 

Inspired by Heidi's Roland Mouret gown, Hay decided to create a softer, natural look to compliment the graphic and bold red silhouette. There was no need to compete!

Hay wanted to bring out on Heidi’s dramatic eyes and also incorporate the powder pink color of the coral and diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewelry on the lips and cheeks. Linda sought to create a look that was light and dewy while still modern and sexy.

Eyes. Linda began by lining the top and bottom lashes with Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Eyeliner in Dark Chocolate and highlighting the inside triangle of the eye with a shimmering nude eye shadow in Champagne. She then used the Victoria Secret Spring Look Eye Shadow Quad to highlight the eyes and make them pop. Using a large shadow brush, Hay applied Rich to the crease, Devoted to the eyelid and Champagne again as a highlighter under the brow and the inside corner of the eye. Using a smaller point shadow brush she blended a soft line under the eye from the outside corner to the tear duct. To finish, Linda applied three coats of Victoria’s Secret High Definition Mascara in Blackest Black.

Cheeks. On the cheeks, Linda used the new Victoria’s Secret Highlighter/Blush Duo in Flesh to the apple of the cheek to create the allusion of more defined bone structure.

Lips. Linda lined the lips with the Perfect Lipstick in Whisper followed by Victoria’s Secret Lip Gloss in Blush for subtle pink finish.
