\u201cFor Lara, we used a hot pink Stila Cosmetics lipstick,\u201d says French, who adds that she mixed the matte formula with highlighter pigments to create an even brighter color. \u201cIt kind of has this crazy ethereal glow.\u201d<\/p>\n
After laying down the base colors, French applied translucent setting powder on top for a matte canvas, then used House of Lashes eyelash glue and a wax stick to apply the confetti dots over the lipstick. \u201cI had my assistant hold a little heart-shaped mirror that had all the confetti pieces on it, and I would just dip and place,\u201d French says.<\/p>\n
French says the exact products she chose are a blur, but she did use MAC Lip Pencils in Nightmoth (a dark mauve), Cyber World (a black with purple undertones), and Caviar (a basic black liner). \u201cI also used a Made by Mitchell eye shadow palette,\u201d says French. \u201cI just kept mixing colors together.\u201d To get the shades of light pink worn by three of the Katseye members, \u201cI mixed a yellow with a pink, a blue, and a white, and I just kept going until we got that almost ugly, early 2000s powdery, almost white-pink lipstick,\u201d French says. \u201cI knew they could pull it off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blink, and you’ll miss that there are also polka dots placed delicately at the tips of the singers\u2019 eyelashes. The look might feel familiar to Lady Gaga fans: The confetti that French used on Katseye first appeared in the \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d music video. In both instances, \u201cI made these lashes using those confetti dots and a black gel nail polish to make the lashes a little more spiky,\u201d says French. \u201cThen I cured them under like a nail light while gluing on the polka dots to the tips of the lashes.\u201d The result was a retro, doll-like glam with a playful feel.<\/p>\n
Once French perfected all five polka-dot looks, the crew broke for lunch, meaning the five girls with meticulously crafted lip makeup were about to use those gorgeous mouths to eat\u2014every makeup artist’s worst nightmare. \u201cI just thought, Please, please, if there’s a God out there, please don’t mess this up,\u201d says French.<\/p>\n
And when they returned to set, all five Katseye members had managed to keep their polka-dotted lips intact, a true testament to French\u2019s artistry and Katseye’s nimble ability to eat very neatly\u2014plus, the power of One\/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray.<\/p>\n
