Get the Look: Lucy Hale at the Teen Choice Awards

Inspiration: Lucy’s look was inspired by the rich tones in her Fausto Pugsili dress. “Matching the lip to the dress would have been too predictable,” said Deenihan, “so instead I used that same rich, bright color on her eyes. When you don’t have the exact shade you’re looking for, you gotta get creative and go custom.”

Eyes: To start, Kelsey applied  Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick in Supurb Wine to Lucy’s lids, bottom lash line andcrease using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. This lipstick acts as a primer and base color for her dramatic eye look. Next, she applied the bottom left red shade from the Chanel Candeur ET Experience Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow. She finished off the dramatic eye using Avon Big and Daring Volume Mascara in Black and defined Lucy’s brows with the Dior Universal Eyebrow Pencil.

Face: Kelsey began on Lucy’s skin by applying a thin veil of Armani Power Fabric Foundation in 5 to her face and décolletage. On the cheeks she started with Tom Ford Bronzing Powder in Gold Dust followed by mark. By Avon Touch and Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette to add a soft, pearly and pink glow to the cheeks.

Lips: To complete the look, Kelsey used mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat in Bare All.

Before heading out to the red carpet, Kelsey lightly misted Lucy’s face with the Avon True Color Makeup Setting Spray to ensure her makeup stayed put through the night and then she was off to the red carpet.
