Jenn Streicher

Emily Blunt looked classically elegant at the premiere of Looper yesterday in Toronto. Her color palette was neutral, but her shiny smoky eye played up her gorgeous, icy-toned eyes. To achieve this almost-ethereal effect, makeup artist Jenn Streicher swiped on Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Gypsy ($38). She blended the lighter shade along Emily's brow bone before dabbing the copper hue into her eyelid. For her lips, Streicher used Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Canvas ($28). The overall look was sweet, elegant, and extremely wearable.

Hot-pink lipstick has often gotten a bum rap thanks to its more garish 1980s roots. But for Emily Blunt at the premiere of The Five-Year Engagement, her hot pink — CoverGirl's Lip Perfection Lipstick in Spellbound ($7), a bright, creamy fuchsia — was hotter than hot.

Part of the reason the palette worked so well is that makeup artist Jenn Streicher kept Emily's eyes and cheeks simply elegant, opting for a clean-skin palette to begin with, starting with Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum as a base, followed by Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Finish Foundation. But another reason the palette worked so well is all thanks to the science of color. Pink (as seen on Emily's lips) when paired with green (as seen on her earrings and in her frock) is a winning combination. The reason is because pinkish tones are directly opposite of greenish tones on the color wheel, so Emily's overall ensemble made for one truly spellbinding style.

Did you notice a rosy glow emanating from Emily Blunt last night at the Emmys? Yes, she did have her husband, John Krasinski, by her side, but her pretty pink lips had us captivated. Makeup artist Jenn Streicher used Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color ($45) in Pink Dust for the evening. A bit of rose-hued blush, black liner, and a palette of silver, gray, and white shadows topped off the look.
