Kevin Mazur/WireImageFashion's biggest night was alive with cherry blossoms, grandiose headpieces and all the Chinese-inspired motifs you can imagine. As expected, many celebs took a more literal approach in honoring the theme, but leave it to Katy Perry to take Eastern glamour to the streets.
The "Roar" singer walked the red carpet in a graffiti–laden mermaid-style gown. Of course, her dress captured mass attention, but it was her makeup that kept us in awe. To give us the full rundown, we got the exclusive step-by-step from Katy's trusted makeup artist, Jake Bailey.
Katy's dress was bold and colorful. I wanted to create big dramatic eyes and a tawny, neutral palette on her skin, cheeks and lips and let the dress take care of the bright colors.
I began by buffing a small amount of foundation all over her skin and neck with a compact kabuki brush to create a sheer glow on her skin.
I started the eyes by tight-lining the upper lash line with COVERGIRL Intensify Me! Liquid Eyeliner, focusing it in the lashes rather than on or above them. This creates "invisible definition" to the eyes.
I then used the COVERGIRL Eyeshadow Quad in Go for the Golds to create a golden bronze wash of color all over her lids and blended softly all the way to her brows. I used the darkest shade in the palette and blended it from the outer corners of her eyes outward toward the temple to elongate.
I added two coats of COVERGIRL The Super Sizer Mascara on top and bottom. I finished the eyes by shaping her brows with medium brown brow powder and set them in place with clear brow gel.
I then set the foundation with a light dusting of powder and blended two shades of blush onto her cheeks. I used the lighter half of the compact on the apples and cheekbones and the darker half to contour under her cheekbones.
To complete the look, I shaped her lips with lip liner and coated them with COVERGIRL Colorlicious Lipstick in Tempting Toffee.
