She’s the breakout actress of this year’s awards season. Now Ruth’s makeup artist, Mélanie Inglessis, dishes on how to get the It girl’s smoky-eye look.
Step 1
Mélanie started off by applying a purple bronze eyeshadow on the eyelid. TRY Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Eyeshadow
in Mystic Violet (R325).
Step 2
She explains that she used, “the dark purple Chanel Le Crayon Khôl
(R395) on the top lash line, winged out a little,” to create the cat-eye effect.
Step 3
Using a burgundy eyeshadow, Mélanie blended the shade from the corner of the eye into the crease. “It’s different than your gold/brown smoky eye – I wanted an eye look in a different colour palette that was complementary to the dress,” she explains.
Step 4
Add lashings of mascara to finish the look and add extra drama. TRY Clarins Be Long Mascara
(R310).
