"I wanted her makeup to be natural, radiant, with soft tones," the celebrity MUA explained. "The gown gave me regal vibes and I wanted Kerry to look timeless. I wanted to complement the femininity of the gown."
The star's classic glossy nude lip is so easy to recreate at home. It consisted of MAC Cosmetics lip liner in Stripdown ($21) combined with Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Hydrating in Almond Nude ($7.29) slicked on top.

If you want to copy Kerry’s exact look, here’s the full rundown…
SKIN PREP:
“I personally like to treat my clients to a pre-skin prep treatment, especially when they are attending a special event or red carpet. I feel it really makes a difference on the skin and face structure. I started by using Face Gym's Multi Sculpt [Gua Sha] ($60) for complexion sculpting, contour, reduce facial tension, depuffing and lymphatic drainage.
“I followed with one of Kerry’s favorite treatments, Face Gym's The Recovery Lab, for a non-invasive face lift that instantly activates and elevates skin muscles resulting in a toned appearance.”
Carola followed up with a three-product prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Extra-Dry, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Glow Primer & Serum.
FACE:
"I always start by concealing under the eye area, blemishes, and any other imperfections on the skin. For Kerry’s skin tone I used Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer in Golden. Next step is always the foundation. I used Neutrogena’s Flawless Matte CC Cream in Amber 8.0. I applied it all over her face and neck to match her body’s skin tone.
"For highlighter and blush I used Neutrogena's Hydrating Multi-Use Stick in Temptation ($12). This really adds a very nice glow to the skin."
EYES:
"For the eyes I did a cat eye with Neutrogena's Intense Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black… I love a lash! Lashes are the cherry on top when finalizing the eye makeup. They truly make the eyes pop. To compliment the cat eye, I used Lilly Lashes, Faux Unveil…
“I applied a coat of Neutrogena’s Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black to the upper and lower lashes.”
