We caught up with her longtime makeup artist this morning to learn the secrets he used on Bey at Coachella. Spoiler: These tricks don’t disappoint. Sir John walks us through the inspiration and techniques he applied for the remaining nighttime performance beneath.
The ’80s Movie That Inspired The Makeup
“She wanted to look young, fresh, and not trying too tough. I became stimulated through the dress practice session; I failed to take her out of the element of the show by making her too girly, minimal, or smooth. I wanted her to appear to be a college girl on campus. Remember the movie School Days by Spike Lee? That changed into my concept.”
The Secret Behind The Glittery Eye Look
“I created a glittery lid using mixing a few one-of-a-kind glitters. I commenced with a warm terracotta base, jumbled together an iridescent purple, then applied glitter to the center of the attention. I used MAC’s Brownborder on the lowest for eyeliner and a black liner at the top.
I continually tell girls even though you make your wing with black, coffee eyeliner on the lowest is the high-quality finisher as it doesn’t overwhelm the eyes. Then I used the Lash Paradise mascara with the aid of L’Oréal and the emblem’s Infallible Chocolate Lip Color on her lips.”
Making The Makeup Last
“It’s basically like retaining your makeup via hours of aerobic [laughs]. Layering is the key, so you need to use a liquid foundation, then set it with bronzer; a cream blush, then with powder blush; eyeliner, then with shadow. No count number what a part of the face, it has a double utility.”
The Body Makeup That Wouldn’t Budge “I found this new frame makeup known as Allen; it’s a twig makeup; however, it will no longer circulate. You can have white sheets and sleep, and it may not switch. I apply it to her boobs, palms, and legs. We had four modifications, so we desired something transfer-resistant.”
The Street Style Inspiration
“I walked out into the sphere the day gone by, and it turned into so cool to look so much makeup — seeing anyone carrying glitter as highlighter?! I was given a lager and a few popcorns and just commenced taking images of ladies; a couple of women knew who I became and went a little loopy; however, for the most part, I was out undercover.”
What You Didn’t See
“You actually have approximately forty-five or 50 seconds to touch her up [during a wardrobe change] — if you have a complete minute, it truly is a dream. Someone is likewise pulling off a get dressed, a zip break, or something doesn’t work, so I am holding her face nonetheless with one hand, then using powder or blotting off sweat. The funny factor is that you must live in reality, calm — while the power is going up, you must go down and relax. The great issue I can do is provide her zen vibes and usher her lower back out onto the degree.”
