This beguiling portrait of Grammy Award-winning singer Adele was recently released to promote her latest album, 21. Michael Ashton, the singer’s personal make-up artist, has created several looks for her that pull inspiration from films, street style, architecture, fabrics, music and more. This look was based on Adele’s natural assets.
“[Adele’s] timeless beauty is reminiscent of old-school Hollywood starlets,” said Ashton of the look. “For me, this is a modern take on classic beauty references.” And as for those eyes? “Adele always loves a lash! They have really become her signature.”
M.A.C. Paint Pot in Painterly was applied all over the eyelid and into the inner corner, with M.A.C. Paints in Bamboom through the crease and under the eye near the lower lash line. Dior 5 Couleurs Designer in Nude Pink 508 was buffed onto the lid with the bronze shade from Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Sequoia 87 (discontinued) in the crease and on the lower lash line.
Eye Liner
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink was applied with an angle brush on the upper and lower lash lines and M.A.C. Eye Kohl in Feline (limited availability) was drawn on the upper and lower waterline.
Brows
Brows were brushed up with M.A.C. Brow Set in Clear before the artist lifted the arch and extended the length with Givenchy Eyebrow Show in 02—Brown Show
The lips were filled out with M.A.C. Lip Pencil in Subculture and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Évasion was pressed onto the center of the lips and the cupid’s bow with fingers
