While everyone is busy looking at all the stunning gowns – I’m always checking out everyone’s makeup (and following their celebrity MUA on Instagram). I mean, I’m looking for innovative, outrageous makeup that compliments the Manus X Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology (Man X Machine) exhibit at the Met. Check out some of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) makeup looks of the night.
Want a tutorial? Let me know in the comments below and I’d be happy to show you how to recreate the look.
So I saw lots of neutral makeup faces — BORRRINNNGGG (and safe). But here’s some of the looks that stuck out to me!
Katy Perry donned that blue mascara & lilac eye. And black lips. And bee hive hair. And a bit too much contouring. And in my opinion there was way to much going on around her face. Thank GOODNESS she didn’t do her brows because o.m.g. that would’ve been disaster. But now that you are looking closer, doesn’t it kind of secretly bother you?
She killed it with a whiter and brighter eye (perfect for her hooded and smaller eye shape) and a dark lip. No, it’s not black — it’s better. It’s like a blackberry. Gorgeous, gorgeous. Sometimes, less is more. This look is totally my jam right now.
Their makeup looked the same as always — which was a bit surprising for me. Here they have the chance to shape a future makeup collection and inspire a new trend — but, they didn’t : Yawn :
Ok, I had to categorize my faves into the smoky category. There were lots of other looks but these smoky eyes really stood out to me and showcased how makeup can really take a “look” to the next level.
Could you imagine how much different she would’ve looked had she stuck with a “safe” look?
And although her makeup wasn’t anything to rave about, I must shout out to Emma Watson because I love when celebrities usetheir celebrity status to stand for something bigger than themselves. She opted for dress was made mostly from Newlife, a yarn made from 100 % post-consumer plastic bottles. Plastic bottles!

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
