Sophia Vergara (age 39) looked amazing at the Emmy’s. Her dress by Vera Wang was one of my favorite of the night and most likely one of the best red carpet looks on her. But, not everything she was wearing was expensive designer. Her makeup look was done by makeup artist Kayleen McAdams and it’s all budget beauty CoverGirl.
Here is how Kayleen says she created the look:
Skin:
I started with a concealer (COVERGIRL Invisible Concealer in Honey) under her eyes and then wherever she needed a little extra coverage. I then used COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Foundation in Soft Honey (#255) and set that with COVERGIRL’s Clean Pressed Powder in Warm Beige (#145)
I then used COVERGIRL’s Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach and set that cream blush with COVERGIRL’s Classic Colors Blush in Natural Glow.
Eyes:
COVERGIRL Queen Collection 1-Kit Eyeshadow in Hot Toffee in the crease
COVERGIRL Liquiline Eyeliner in Black Fire along the top and bottom lash line
COVERGIRL Queen Collection 1-Kit Eyeshadow in Black Tie along the top and bottom lash line to set the eyeliner
COVERGIRL Lash Blast Volume mascara in Very Black
Lips:
COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Rapture (#280)
