Top beauty looks at the Golden Globes

The recent Golden Globes event in Los Angeles kicked off the annual Hollywood awards season and saw some fabulous make-up designs on the red carpet

Smoky eyes, bold liner and lashes, as well as pale lips, were the order of the day on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet, held in Los Angeles on 10 January.

This was a look favoured in subtle variations by many of the stars, including Michelle Yeoh, who won a Golden Globe award for ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’.

Nominee Lilly James (‘Pam & Tommy’) was all about neutral make-up, apart from strong dark brows. Elizabeth Debicki, nominated for playing Princess Diana in ‘The Crown’, opted for a minimalist make-up look, quite befitting her striking bone structure. Another nominee, Daisy Edgar-Jones (‘Under the Banner of Heaven’), also had barely-there make-up, as did ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ actress, Letitia Wright.

Winner Jennifer Coolidge (‘The White Lotus’) had her eyes in neutral tones with just enough eyeliner and lashes and pale pink lipstick.

A more dramatic version was seen on nominee Jenna Ortega, who plays the title role in the ‘Wednesday’ TV series. Ortega’s large dark eyes were super-enhanced with cat’s eye liner on both lids, with white in the water line to make the orbs look bigger, and finished off with pale lipstick.

There was the occasional splash of colour on the eyes, notably on nominee Viola Davis, who sported emerald green liner on her lower lid, which toned in with her spectacular blue gown.

Also sporting colour, albeit in a more bizarre way, was ‘House of the Dragon’ star Emma D’Arcy, whose blue ringed eyes extended to teardrops in the same hue under one eye.

Winner Angela Bassett (‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’) looked fabulous with metallic silver shadow and deep pink lipstick, while fellow winner, Quinta Brunson (‘Abbott Elementary’) went for a lovely ombre eye shadow design.

The smoky eyes of actress, writer, director and producer, Natasha Lyonne, were paired with nude lips to set off her vibrant orange hair. Also going for the smoky look, this time in a plum shade, was singer/ actress Selena Gomez.

Supermodel and TV presenter, Heidi Klum, chose uncharacteristically dark and heavy eye make-up, all the more visible because her trademark, eyelash-skimming blonde fringe was swept off her face. The look was completed with the palest of lipsticks.
