Makeup Mishaps at 2009 MET Gala

May 5, 2009

Just like everyone else, celebrities can have makeup faux pas as well and at the 2009 “The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala, there seems to be quite a few.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen


Though both wearing a heavily rimmed eye with nude lipstick, Ashley definitely did a better job here by going with a warmer lipstick and adding in blush. Mary-Kate Olsen just looked so washed out.

Lesson Here: Wear blush to warm up your complexion and steer clear of lipsticks that are too close to your complexion.

Rachel Bilson and Blake Lively



Note to Rachel : Hun, this is the MET gala. You can’t just show up wearing barely any foundation with gunmetal eyeshadow and gloss. Take a cue from Blake – even out your skin (especially around the nose) with a foundation, wear a bit of shimmer around the tear duct to instantly add in some glamor and throw some color on those lips!

Lesson Here: Know the occasion and dress and do your makeup accordingly. The last thing you want to do is show up at a formal event looking like you barely tried at all.

    Rachel kinda looks like she did her makeup herself, no?

    I don’t have a problem with Rachel Bilson either.. but she’s not quite a muse to me anyways and I always expect her to be sort of a girl next door… Yea, i know it’s the MET gala… but Rachel is still Rachel

    Blake Lively is gorgeous though!

    Yeah, Rachel’s makeup looks so her. That’s how she wears her makeup normally. It’s okay for me, too. But, Blake looks diff here, they put matte bronzer on her. Looks better, cos I usually find her plain boring blondie. Not my type. I’m more into brunettes. lol.

    What foundation does Blake use on her face?

    Kate,

    I’m not sure what foundation Blake uses normally but on Gossip Girl, she wears Make Up For Ever’s HD Foundation.
