Last night s Critics Choice Awards saw Amanda Seyfried once again looking back to the days of Old Hollywood. “If this look was a cocktail, it would be one part Greta Garbo in Berlin with two parts Liza Minnelli in Cabaret and add a dash of Charlie Chaplin,” stylist Elizabeth Stewart told British Vogue of Seyfried s sparkling, tuxedo-style Miu Miu get-up. Looking every inch a movie star, Seyfried, who received a nomination for her turn as starlet Marion Davies in Mank, wore a show-stopping beauty look that hinged on a sculptural pin-curled updo, soft smoky eyes, and a bold crimson lip.
"We wanted the makeup to be strong and beautiful with a hint of playfulness," said makeup artist Genevieve Herr, who helped Seyfried get ready ahead of joining the ceremony s virtual telecast from Savannah, Georgia. Winking at Minnelli s character Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Herr perfected Seyfried s natural glow with Lancôme Teint Miracle Radiant Foundation, blended Seyfried s lids with sooty and silver shades from the Hypnôse 5-Color eyeshadow palette in Smokey Chic, and punctuated her pout by lining it with a blue-toned red lip pencil and layering L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte in Rose Lancôme over it for a "dash of pink." Here, a behind-the-scenes peek at Seyfried s getting-ready session.
