Best at the Met Ball: Elizabeth Banks

When it came to best dressed in beauty at this year's Met Ball, actress Elizabeth Banks took the cake, looking like a golden goddess and sporting the biggest makeup trend this summer: orange lips! Celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles reveals the inspiration and products behind this radiant look.

"It's old Hollywood glamour meets modern chic," says Fiona, who prepped Elizabeth Banks for the big night on Monday. "We went for a glamour girl look, updating it with a matte warm brown smoky eye, luscious lashes and an orange lip. Elizabeth looked elegant without looking overly retro," describes Fiona.

"I prepped her skin with Yonka's Pamplemousse moisturizer and By Terry lip balm. Then I applied a bit of dewy foundation where she needed it and bronzy cream blush before I powdered. For the eyes, I primarily used a warm matte brown shadow, but I also used a little bit of a lightly shimmery vanilla color to blend the shadow into the brow bone and a bit of a deeper shimmery brown right at the lash line for a touch of depth. Three coats of mascara on the top lashes and a kiss of mascara on the bottom finished off the eyes. I added more blush in a pale pink shade for a little glow and then finished off the look with a beautiful orangey coral lip."
