ASHLEY GREENE made a bold arrival on the black carpet for the Hollywood premiere of her supernatural thriller “The Apparition” wearing a eye-popping fuchsia Donna Karan Atelier gown. But, that wasn’t the only appealing thing about her look! Thanks to her fantastic team, Ash dazzled with a romantic wavy mane and a shimmering berry pout!
Make-up artist VANESSA SCALI took inspiration from her vivacious dress when creating her beauty look for the evening.
“Ashley wore a gorgeous Donna Karen dress to her premiere of The Apparition. To offset the softness of the dress, we went with a bold vampy, fuchsia lip and a sexy, flirty eye with lush, fluttery lashes,” Vanessa explained.
“After prepping the skin, I applied a bit of foundation and concealer where needed. Then I added a touch of color to the apples of her cheeks. I used bronzer (concentrated in the contours of her cheekbones) and added a luminizer on her cheekbones and brow bones. Adding the bronzer and luminizer after the blush softens the cheek color and adds a golden glow to the skin.
I strengthened Ashley’s brows, making them just slightly bolder than they are. I love to pair a strong brow and a strong lip together. Brushing them up also made them a little thicker. Using a sheer wash of gold, I added a little luxury to the eye lid, but I mostly focused on liner and lashes to make her eyes the stand out feature. Black liner, many lashes and a few generous coats of mascara finished it off.
I lined her lips with a shade that matched her natural lip color. This defines the lips without leaving a hard edge. Then I applied the lipstick (with a brush) to the center of the lips and had Ashley gently press the color in. I finished by using a clean lip brush to blend the color to the edge of the lips. This fills the lips with color and gives you a defined, yet soft edge.”
Ashley’s make-up was the perfect balance. When opting for a bold lip, make sure you keep the eyes from competing — don’t go strong! Vanessa had the right idea as you can tell from her stellar creation on Miss Greene.
As for her luscious hair…
TED GIBSON, Ashley’s go-to celebrity hairstyle, created a sexy undone look with her multidimensional summer hair color by creating giving her a touch of what he called “effortless glamour”
“That’s what I wanted with Ashley’s hair last night for the premiere of ‘The Apparition’. The center part and cascading texture played a huge part in this look. Young Hollywood at its best!,” Ted explained.
“I used Hairsheet Styling over her entire head and blow-dried with my fingers to create a roughed up texture. I didn’t want her hair to be smooth; it needed to have lots of movement and texture. After the blow-dry I used a medium sized iron all over her entire head then came back with the flatiron to soften and straighten bits of hair. I used Tame It Shine Lotion to add more texture and weight, and then sprayed with Beautiful Hold Hairspray to give light weight hold.”
