A Makeup Technique for a Flawless Complexion

At the 2020 Golden Globes, actress Awkwafina (The Farewell, 2019; Crazy Rich Asians, 2018) was a timeless beauty in her Dior gown and classic makeup, created by celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty (@kirinstagram). “This being her first Golden Globe nomination and such a momentous occasion for her, I wanted to honor that cosmetically and focus on iconic, Hollywood glamour," said Bhatty. "For a modernized take, we complemented her red lip and winged eyeliner with understated, glowing skin...the result was simple, yet striking and strong.”
