Actress Rachel Weisz looked lovely at the premiere of The Lovely Bones in Los Angeles on Monday night.

Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua created these bold red lips and shimmery eyes for Rachel. Here’s what Kara said about the look she created:

“I was inspired by the colour of Rachel’s dress which was calling out for a
perfectly red lip! I chose the semi-matte CHANEL Rouge Allure Laque in
Dragon. I love this shade because it is a very pigmented blue true red,
perfect with Rachel’s fair skin, and can be worn very sheer yet give vivid
colour.

I wanted shimmery soft eyes to be tonal with the colour of the dress so a
not to compete with the lips. CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Murano has the
most beautiful greenish-grey shimmers that accent Rachel’s dark hair and
brown eyes. CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Rose gives her a soft
hint of colour in the apples of her cheeks. Finally, CHANEL Inimitable
Mascara in Noir-Black opens up her  eyes by lengthening and separating her
already thick lashes without any clumps!”
