Michelle Phan's Red Carpet Makeup Trends

YouTube Cosmetic Sensation and Lancome Spokesperson, Michelle Phan.

Making a South California appearance at Glendale's Sephora, Michelle Phan predicts what makeup trends will hit the red carpet for the upcoming Awards Season.

Having designed Lancome's limited edition Glamour Eyes Makeup Kit, she included purple which was seen everywhere on last year's red carpet for the majority of people.

For this time, she suggested using the shimmering gun metal silver shadow in this compact because the camera flashes ask for something reflective and glittering for under the intense glare of the strobe lights.

Another Lancome team member, Chris, knows of another red carpet trend using the whole kit. Here is what he might do for the People's Choice Awards the ...

Again, he said that the flashing cameras and the intense spotlight demand the "popping of the eyes" where the whole eyes and the upper eye lids flash out to meet the flash. This is similar to the past Fall trend of Seventies' Ziggy Stardust of popping glitter in the middle of the eye lid to make it pop out.

After covering the entire upper eye lid then rimming the lower eye lid with primer to make the eye shadow stick to the skin, Chris sweep the whole upper eye lid, from brow to lash line, with the peach/pink shadow from Ms. Phan's Glamour Kit as a base.

He added depth in the crease by swishing back and forth the taupe shadow for a natural depth.

This is where he adds on the glitz. From crease to upper lash line, Chris covers the whole upper eye lid with the shimmering gun metal silver shadow for that pop.

Then, he pulls in the focus by dabbing on a "V" at the outer corners of the upper eye lids, using the purple.

To polish the whole effect off, he used the liquid eyeliner with the felt tip and the mascara, all included in the kit, to refine the intensity.

With Michelle Phan's easy and complete Glamour Eyes Kit, do not be surprised to see these looks at the red carpets for the upcoming award shows.
