Red carpet makeup is notably more complex than everyday makeup due to the intense scrutiny from cameras and lighting. Celebrities, while often hiring professionals, sometimes take on the challenge themselves. Zendaya, for instance, highlighted her DIY experiences, learning techniques from makeup artists over the years. She collaborates closely with stylist Law Roach to create thematic looks for events. This creative process involves experimenting with styles and adjusting based on previous experiences, emphasizing a journey of trial and error in perfecting her red carpet aesthetic.
For events, my stylist Law and I like to create characters, and so my make-up will depend on what character I am that evening.
Once I started working with make-up artists, I'd just watch them. If I liked the way someone did my eyebrows, I'd just watch how they did it and try it at home.
It's really about trying, failing, and trying again. I went out on the red carpet and later looked at photos. Sometimes, I'd be like, 'Ooh, I look like a ghost.'
We wanted the look to remind people of an old Victorian painting with the rosy cheeks.
