"Pre-makeup sculpt" was crucial to her look," Pidgeon's makeup artist shares with 'InStyle.'

 

The Gist:

  • Sarah Pidgeon attended tonight's Actor Awards in a gown from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection for Balenciaga.
  • The actor sported a minimalist makeup look for the occasion.
  • InStyle spoke with makeup artist Emily Cheng on how she prepped Pidgeon's pared-back glam, which included a $400 NuFace device.

Sarah Pidgeon arrived at the Actor Awards (previously known as the SAG Awards) in Los Angeles on March 1 in a look that had InStyle slack channels abuzz.

Proving that less can be so much more when it comes to red carpet beauty, Pidgeon sported a no-makeup makeup look. For her pared-back glam, Pidgeon's makeup artist Emily Cheng deployed the device anyone seeking a snatched jawline has probably considered splurging on at some point.

Speaking to InStyle, Cheng shared: "Pre-makeup sculpt is so important because facial structure is what we're always trying to enhance, and when the face is already lifted, we need a lot less contour to achieve the look we're going for."

As the Rolls-Royce of sculpting microcurrent skin care sets (this retails for an eye-watering $595), contents include: the microcurrent device, a wrinkle reducer attachment, a lip and eye attachment, an aqua gel activator, a silk crème activator, and a clean-sweep applicator brush.

"The vision for the makeup is minimal romance to complement the soft pink hue of her dress," Cheng shared of Pidgeon's pretty-in-pink look. While Pidgeon might not be up for any official awards tonight, she wins one of the evening's most memorable beauty looks in our books.
