At the London premiere of HBO’s ’House of the Dragon,’ Emma D’Arcy showcased a striking look that balanced their expressive suit with a more muted, yet equally captivating, makeup style.
Collaborating with celebrity makeup artist Phoebe Walters, Emma’s makeup was designed to enhance their natural beauty and reflect their non-binary identity, breaking away from traditional gender norms and embracing a fluid and expressive aesthetic.
Here’s a breakdown of how Phoebe Walters created Emma’s look for the premiere:
Skin Preparation: Phoebe started by prepping Emma’s skin with Skin Rocks Rich Moisturiser, ensuring a well-hydrated and smooth base for the makeup application.
Luminous Skin Effect: To achieve a dewy, glass skin effect, Phoebe used MERIT’s Day Glow Highlighting Balm. This product provided a subtle, luminous sheen that enhanced Emma’s naturally glowing skin and added a delicate flush to their cheeks.
Blush: For a perfect red-carpet glow, Phoebe applied MERIT’s Flush Balm Cheek Color, a cult-classic product known for its lit-from-within effect. This blush provided Emma with a natural-looking, radiant flush.
Lips: Rhode lip treatment was used to add a subtle, glossy hue to Emma’s lips, keeping them hydrated and slightly tinted.
Eye Brightening: To brighten up the eyes, Phoebe applied Vieve concealer, which helped to illuminate and refresh the under-eye area.
By opting for a muted makeup look, Phoebe Walters ensured that Emma D’Arcy’s expressive suit remained the focal point of their ensemble, while the makeup subtly complemented their overall appearance, highlighting their features in an understated yet elegant manner. This approach not only showcased Emma’s unique style but also adhered to their preference for breaking away from conventional beauty standards.
