MAKEUP MOMENT
“Lea has great skin so I just used foundation to give her skin a clean polish,” said Bailey, who applied the lightweight formula with an angled brush for a sheer, buff finish. The complexion was the perfect backdrop for the main event: Striking raspberry lipstick. “I thought red lips would feel too holiday with the black clothing,” said Bailey. “This shade was sophisticated without looking too goth.”

MAKEUP MOMENT
“Lea has such strong features that she can get away with very little makeup and carry a lot of makeup,” said Bailey. It was this fierceness that inspired the makeup artist to pair a strong, smoky eye with a bold berry lip. “The eye was about a soft sort of drama,” he said. To create the look, he blended a creamy charcoal shadow all along the lids with his fingertips and finished with black mascara. “To be honest though, she has such gorgeous lashes I really only needed one coat,” he said.
