When it comes to the red carpet, it isn't just the frocks and fashion we're transfixed by. Some of the most iconic beauty looks of all time have debuted at events like the Oscars and the Met Gala.
From Jennifer Lopez's mint-green eyeshadow at the Academy Awards in 2003, to Rihanna's dark plum Met Gala look this year, the red carpet never fails to impress when it comes to beauty inspiration.
The theme of Glow Up Ireland episode 5 was 'Red Carpet Event' with the remaining six MUAs tasked with impressing London-based celebrity make-up artist SJ Wai O'Flynn, who stepped in as guest judge this week.
This week's industry challenge was to create a high-end glam red carpet look, taking into account the glare of the flashing cameras for outside the event, as well as the up close and personal interactions inside the event itself.
The looks created by the MUAs were awe-inspiring and common to them all was a flawless, camera-ready base. No matter if you're planning to rock a shimmery eye or bold lip on the red carpet, the perfect base is a non-negotiable!
We teamed up with MUA Aideen Kate for her tips and tricks on recreating that glowy, celebrity-inspired skin look in the video above.
To achieve this look Aideen Kate has used:
- Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base
- Sleek MakeUp Elixir Illuminator Drops in 'Poppin 'Bottles'
- Sculpted by Aimee Connolly Tint & Glow Skin Enhancer
- Sleek MakeUp Face Form Baking & Setting Powder in shade 'Light'
