Priyanka Bose's Gorgeous Red Carpet Look is Easy to Master at Home

Priyanka Bose’s red carpet look from the 2017 Academy Awards is easy to replicate at home. Here’s how.

If you’re not already familiar with Priyanka Bose, get acquainted, because she’s the new Priyanka in town and totally gorgeous. She’s also co-stars with Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel in Lion, the film directed by Garth Davis. Now that we’ve cleared up who she is exactly, let’s get down to the important stuff: how we can nail her beauty because OMG she’s gorgeous. We caught up with the star herself and makeup artist to the stars, Nick Barose, for the breakdown of the look he created for this Bollywood-turned-Hollywood stunner.

“I like doing my own makeup for meetings,” shared Priyanka Bose. She shares that her every day look is simple, but she enjoyed getting glammed up for the red carpet. “I like it very basic. When I’m in the mood and wake up on the right side of the bed, I will experiment. I cannot do my own hair so I get a blowdry sometimes, or it’ll go in a top knot.”

It was this perfect canvas that inspired Nick Barose’s elegant, modern red carpet look for Priyanka. “For the Oscars, we wanted to be classic and feminine, colorful yet timeless, I wanted to play off the beautiful blue, aqua and purple tone of her Vivienne Westwood dress against her gorgeous bronze skin,” shared Nick. “I drew inspirations from classic Hollywood icon, glamour girl Rita Hayworth, and Bollywood silent film star Seeta Devi. Priyanka has gorgeous dark eyes; they’re so animated and can look extra dramatic with some colors and even when paired with a pop of color on the lips, too. Dark skin with dark hair and eyes like Priyanka’s can carry more colors– it won’t clash.”

SKIN

“I prepped her skin first, to add extra hydration, and plumped it up with Kiehl’s Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque. I used Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic to help control shine and oil on her t-zone, so there would be no need to touch her up too much throughout the night, and then I moisturized with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream. Then, I primed the skin with Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector. After the gel cream absorbed into skin, I blotted away the excess and smoothed the Skin Perfector over it to give her skin an extra smooth finish and help her last longer. Finally, I prepped her lips with Kiehl’s Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm to add hydration and create perfect shine-free canvas for lipstick.

Complexion

“For foundation, I used IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact with SPF 50+ in Rich. I applied it with a sponge, so I could layer it for more coverage and thinned it out in certain areas to show off her skin and look camera-ready. Apply with sponge and you can layer it for more coverage or thinning it out in certain areas to also show off skin glow and look camera-ready. IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination Anti-Aging Concealer in Tan brightened her under eyes. I used IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder to set the foundation and tone down shine on her T-Zone, and used IT Cosmetics Sunshine in a Compact in Warmth to warm up the skin and gently sculpt her face, brushing around the perimeter of her face, center of the neck, and the side of her nose.”

Eyes

“I filled in and shaped her brows with IT Cosmetics BROW POWER Super Skinny in Dark Brown. I drew a classic wing with IT Cosmetics No Tug Anti-Aging WaterProof Eyeliner in Brown and used IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty™ Matte Luxe Transforming Eyeshadow Palette for color on the lids. I finished with IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara, with two coats on top and one coat on the bottom lashes.”
