  • 2

Christina Hendricks, Supporting Actress nominee for her role in Mad Men, looked breathtakingly stunning in her lilac Zac Posen gown at yesterday's 2010 Emmy Awards. Inspired by Mia Farrow's character in The Great Gatsby, Lancome makeup artist Vanessa Scali created a flawless look for Christina. Read on to see how to achieve the same makeup look that Christina donned on the red carpet!

FACE

Emmys Makeup 2010: Christina Hendricks

Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancome's La Base Pro and applied Lancome's new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. "It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny," said Vanessa. "I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers." Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her "all time favorite concealer."

CHEEKS

For a fresh pop of color she used Lancome's Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty's Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina's cheekbones.

EYES

The eye shadow was a mix of YSL's Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. "I applied these all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye," reported Vanessa. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancome's Le Crayon Khol in Black. "I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look," said Vanessa. For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina's lashes. Several generous coats of Lancome Definicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.

LIPS

Christina's lips were a mix of Lancome Color Design Matte Lipstick for an effect that Vanessa described as "red with a little dash of pink." A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.
