For the 2022 Met Gala, the celebrity attendees walked the museum steps in their individual interpretations of the Gilded Glamour dress code. Actress Carey Mulligan arrived in an elegant gold-sequined Schiaparelli column gown, buttery blond curtain bangs, and a timeless deep berry lip. Makeup artist Sabrina Bedrani tells Coveteur that the black and gold dress was the inspiration behind Mulligan’s subtle yet striking makeup look. “I wanted to keep her skin fresh and dewy with a soft eye and a dark berry stain to fit in the theme of gilded beauty.”

Once the foundation was set, Bedrani used Dior Skin Glow in 1N and the Backstage concealer in the same shade around Mulligan’s nose and under her eyes. “To set everything I dusted Dior Backstage No Powder-Powder in 1N,” Bedrani adds. “It sets without mattifying the skin or leaving powder residue. It's the best to keep the skin glowing.”

After dabbing the lipstick with a tissue, Bedrani reapplied it with her fingers and blurred out the edges with a soft round brush. Then off to the Met Gala Mulligan went!
