The Met Gala is known for its opulent couture and strong focus on what celebrities are wearing, but this year, bold, risk-taking  beauty had its moment in the spotlight. And yet, many of the most major beauty looks from yesterday all had an ethereal simplicity to them, while still being obviously glamorous.

Thanks to tips straight from the celebrities’ makeup artists (like Charlotte Tilbury and Mario Dedivanovic) and hairstylists (Jen Atkin! Jennifer Yepez!) you too can look as radiant and striking as the A-listers that stole the show last nigh. Below is an easy step-by-step guide on how to recreate the prettiest hair and makeup looks from this year’s Met Gala.

Met Gala 2018

Salma Hayek

Makeup by Matthew Van Leeuwen using Charlotte Tilbury products COMPLEXION: -Salma’s skin was prepped with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream applied to her face and neck. -Salma wore Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation in shades 6 and 7 blended with Hollywood Flawless Filter in shade 5. -The Retoucher concealer in shade 3 was applied around the eyes and nose where needed, to mask any minor imperfections. -Charlotte’s Hollywood Contour Wand in Medium/Dark was paired with Filmstar Bronze & Glow in Medium/Dark to contour and add definition to the cheeks, temples, jawline and nose. -To add an ultra-flattering pop of colour, Pretty Youth Glow Filter in Pretty Fresh was applied using Cheek Hug Brush for targeted, sculpting application. EYES: -To create Salma’s smoldering eye look, Charlotte’s Bigger Brighter Eyes palette in Transform-Eyes was applied. -The soft champagne gold PRIME shade was applied to the eyelid to help prime the eyelids making them look wider, fresher and elongated. A pop was added to the inner corners of the eyes too, to give the appearance of wider, brighter eyes. -The ENLARGE shade, an enhancing copper-gold was used to contour the outer socket. This light-reflecting shade lifts the look of the eye. -Next, the DEFINE shade was applied along Salma’s lash line to add definition, brighten and lift the look of the eye. 5.The look was finished with the deep brick red POP shade. This shade colour-contrasts with most eye coluors, adding vividness to the iris like a filter does. -To add subtle definition to Salma’s brows and structure to her face, her brows were brushed up using Legendary Brows in Clear and softly filled using Brow Lift in Naomi. -Rock ‘N’ Kohl eyeliner pencil in Elizabeth Violet was drawn along the water line while Rock ‘N’ Kohl eyeliner pencil in Barbarella Brown was used to create an elongated feline flick for a subtle cat eye effect. -Salma’s eye makeup look was finished using lashings of Charlotte’s Legendary Lashes Volume 2 on her top and bottom lashes. LIPS: -Salma’s look was completed using Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pink Venus. Salma’s lips were then filled using Charlotte’s Hot Lips lipstick in Hot Emily, a bright warm coral hue and finished with a coat of the Collagen Lip Bath for a plumper, wider-looking pout. -And finally, before Salma left for the red carpet, a light dusting of Charlotte’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder in shade 2 was applied to perfect the skin to prevent excess shine.
