Your Go-To Shadow/Lip Color Combination For Spring

Red and gold may be the colors of the San Francisco 49ers, but when used outside of the sports arena, the rich, vibrant hues make for a glamorous pairing makeup-wise.

Red and gold may be the colors of the San Francisco 49ers, but when used outside of the sports arena, the rich, vibrant hues make for a glamorous pairing makeup-wise. And for True Blood's fifth season premiere in LA, actress Deborah Ann Woll proved just how sharp a combination the warm-toned shades can be.

Makeup artist Kayleen McAdams (who has worked with stars such as Lily Collins, Sofia Vergara, and Rachel McAdams) opted to complement Deborah's geometric, black and white dress with a creamy raspberry lipstick and soft eye makeup. To get the look, McAdams used Benefit Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit ($19) as a base, followed by Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Silvered Topaz ($75) in the crease. Eyes were then lined with a taupe pencil, and lashes topped off with black mascara. To finish, lips were lined with MAC Lip Pencil in Beet ($14) under Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Cosmic Raspberry ($23), for a pop of color and texture.

Get Sofia Vergara's No-Budge, Shimmery Bronze Makeup Look

Katy Perry may have gone all out at The Smurfs premiere wearing some very Smurfy nails, but Sofia Vergara, who walked the same red (er, blue) carpet, went for a more traditional beauty approach.

Katy Perry may have gone all out at The Smurfs premiere wearing some very Smurfy nails, but Sofia Vergara, who walked the same red (er, blue) carpet, went for a more traditional beauty approach. "Sofia had the most beautiful purple dress so I wanted to do a shimmery bronze eye so the makeup would be more subtle and the dress could take full focus. Because of the heat, we layered bronzers on both the cheeks and eyes with other products so it would have staying power all night," explained celebrity makeup artist Kayleen McAdams, who created Sofia's warm-on-cool beauty look.

Learn how Kayleen created three of Rachel's Cannes red-carpet looks below:


"For the Midnight in Paris photo call, the dress was very youthful and fun. We knew we were focusing on the eyes and skin for the premiere [later that day], so we chose to do a bright fun lip," said Kayleen.

  • Eyes: Kayleen applied Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Silk Road (a palette of pink and rose-gold shades) to Rachel's eyes and topped off her lashes with CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion in Very Black.
  • Cheeks and lips: Nars Blush in Mata Hari gave a bright, rosy cheek, and Stila Convertible Color in Fuchsia provided the finishing touch.

Get Rachel McAdams's Oscars Makeup Look

For Rachel McAdams, Oscar beauty runs in the family.

For Rachel McAdams, Oscar beauty runs in the family. Her sister, Kayleen McAdams, is her makeup artist. Kayleen used Rachel's watercolor-toned Elie Saab dress as inspiration for her beauty look.

"There was a wash of cool tones in the dress, blue, green, purple, [and] pink so we wanted the eye, cheek, and lips to all have this same watercolor sheerness to it," said Kayleen. First, she applied Chanel's Fluid Iridescent Eye Shadow in Fountain (a pink tone) to Rachel's lids. Then, she used the rosy-gold shade of the brand's Quadra Eye Shadow in Spices all the way up to the brow bone and all along the lid, and Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Slate was applied to the inner corners of the eyes. Coco Lip Color in Rose Comete, a light pink tone, and Glossimer in Futile pulled it all together.
