The Makeup Mole

Makeup by Kay Montano

My mentor and international celebrity makeup artist Kay Montano worked with the lovely actress Amber Heard again doing Press for her new movie starring Johnny Depp, The Rum Diary – the film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s alcohol soaked vision of Puerto Rico in the 60’s.

As Amber was swapping her premiere evening gown for a tailored suit Kay went for a glamorous day time look. Here’s what she used:

Foundation

Powder

• Chanel Loose Powder in Fair

Eyes

• Chanel Soft Touch eyeshadow in Magic Night
• Chanel Inimitable mascara

Makeup by Florrie White

We all know that Rosie H-W is, quite frankly, a goddess. Whiplash hair, feline eyes, that incredible Victoria’s Secret body. She’s enough to make grown men cry and make Angelina Jolie look like, well a bit of a moose. (Sorry Angelina).

When I saw pictures of her at the Burberry show last week in London, and at Mario Testino’s 1930’s party that night (but more on that later), I had to find out what her makeup look was. So I emailed her makeup artist, Florrie White, for the inside scoop.

As Rosie is the face of Burberry Florrie was able to choose whatever she wanted from the gorgeous new Burberry makeup line (an MM fave, if you hadn’t already gathered), to perfect that already pretty damn near perfect face. Here’s what Florrie used:

Skincare

• Decleor Harmonie Calm and Neroli Oil

Foundation

• Burberry Sheer Foundation in 04/05

Concealer

• Burberry Sheer Concealer no 02

Cheeks

• Burberry Warm Glow

Eyes

• Burberry Midnight Brown eye pencil
• Burberry Sheer Eyeshadows in Midnight Brown and Chestnut
• Burberry Effortless Mascara in Black

Lips

• Burberry Lip Definer in Nude Beige 01
• Burberry Lip Mist in 01

Kay’s been in a busy lady, getting not only Thandie Newton ready for the BAFTAS last night but Amy Adams as well. I love me a bit of Amy Adams – Sunshine Cleaning was one of my favourite movies I saw last year, and anyone who can pull off being not only Amelia Earhart, but Amelia Earhart as Ben Stiller’s love interest is a true star in my book! A new mum, she looked radiant on the red carpet in a peach Elie Saab dress.
