Ruth Negga's IFTAs Makeup

 

Lesley Keane, MAC's Senior Makeup Arist, headed up the the MAC suite at the Irish Film & Television Awards on Saturday night.

She told us about creating actress Ruth Negga's gorgeous red carpet look.

Lesley said: "Ruth wore this incredible outfit with notes of green sequins, so she wanted green eye shadow however she mentioned that it is difficult to find the right colour foundation and that she doesn't like too much make up.

"We used the new M·A·C Matchmaster foundation as it allows the skin tone to shine through and gives a more natural look , then we applied the M·A·C Mineralise under eye concealer and dusted some Careblend powder to smooth out the complexion. On the eyes we used a green metallic mineralise eye shadow in a new tone called 'Cloudy' afternoon . And then applied a generous layer of M·A·C Opulash mascara in Bad Lash Black.

"On the cheeks we blended some Cremeblend blush in Lady Blush and applied Syrup lipstick to the lips for a moisturised pink pout."
