Tracee Ellis Ross stole the show at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in a stunning black and white Balmain bodysuit. The actress looked beautiful together with her hair tied in a sleek ponytail. But what really caught our attention was her iconic makeup look, courtesy of talented celebrity makeup artist, Romy Soleimani. It’s secure to say that Tracee Ellis Ross really rocked the event, especially together with her flawless makeup.

“Freshness, warmth and freedom,” Soleimani tells ESSENCE. The celebrity makeup artist also said Ross’s dress was “pretty graphic” and felt the actress needed a vibrant, daring, warm color to face out on the red carpet.

Soleimani starts with application Skin activator on Ross’s skin, which leaves a radiant glow. He continues this with Vital Vital Skin foundation stick in shade X.5 i Vital Skincare complexion drops in X.5, which provides the leather a medium finish. Finally, to the face he uses Vital Skincare pressed powder in Shade Dune to set and maintain the look of your makeup.

Soleimani used Face contouring stick in Shade Ganache to sculpt and sculpt Ross’s cheeks. Then she applied Illuminating highlighting stick in Nectar i Baby Cheeks blush stick in Bichette so as to add a little bit of color to her cheeks. He finally finishes Ross’s cheeks Super loaded fluid in Shade Peau de Soleil and Peau de Pêche to offer them an quick shine.

Soleimani used several products to offer Ross a easy yet elegant look on the red carpet. She applied Eye Want You mascara to define her eyelashes and used Eye Love You eyeliner in Shade Khôl Noir i Eye pillows in Tabac to attract attention to her eyes. To make the eyebrows look fuller, the celebrity’s makeup artist used makeup Bonne eyebrow defining pencil in Łupek.

Finally, we will not leave the house without applying lipstick as the final touch of makeup. Soleimani used Lip Suede matte lipstick in the shade Le Rouge, he says, is “the real hero” due to Ross’s grimace, which provides him a “vibrant orange-red that feels fresh.” It also explains a technique we will use if we wish to do this have a look at home. “Sculpting the lip with a brush when applied directly from the bullet,” Soleimani said. “Keep the rest of your makeup fresh and dewy to balance out the matte lip.”

Soleimani cannot stop raving about working with the star because she loves fashion and sweetness on the red carpet. “He loves to play,” Soleimani said. “Seeing it all on the carpet gives you a rush of adrenaline and anticipation.”

Bottom line, Ross is all the time experimenting with makeup, and we’re all the time taking notes.
