29 May Get Katy Perry’s V Magazine Retro Makeup Look: Betty Page Inspired Red Lips, Sculpted Maleficent Cheekbones & Thick Lashes
Madonna may be front and center (of course!) on the June issue of V Magazine, but we’re going ga-ga over Katy Perry‘s retro-looking makeup, created by Makeup Artist Sammy Mourabit. We’ve got the inside scoop on the cover look for Katy Perry using all COVERGIRL products. “My inspiration for Katy Perry’s V Magazine cover was the iconic Betty Page,” says Sammy. “I wanted to pay homage to her bombshell beauty look, giving Katy that va-va-voom factor!”
Face
I started with the face using my finger tip to spot touch COVERGIRL’s Ready, Set, Gorgeous Foundation in Buff Beige #205 all over Katy’s T-zone area. The velour composition effect of the new COVERGIRL RSG Foundation allowed me to create a creamy texture on her gorgeous skin. I then used a tiny bit of the Ready, Set, Gorgeous Concealer on my finger tip and gently dabbed under Katy’s eyes and on the outer corners, as well as little around the nose.

I then finished the face, by sculpting Katy’s cheekbones with the truMAGIC Sunkisser and Luminizer, as well as a hint of Bombshell ShineShadow in Gold Goddess, creating a gentle dewy effect.

Eyes
For Katy’s eyes I first focused on the brows. I used COVERGIRL’s Brow and Eyemaker Pencil in Midnight Black and Brown to shape her eyebrows, creating a dramatic effect that was very important to this specific look. I then mixed Bombshell ShineShadows in Ooh La Lilac and Copper Fling. Their rich pigment and creamy, slightly metallic texture are amazing to create an eyeliner fading effect, resulting in a sexy eye look that reflects light perfectly.

I then applied the Flamed Out Shadow Pencil in Crystal Flame to brighten up the inside corner of the eyes for Mademoiselle Perry. I finished the eye look by applying Bombshell Mascara in Very Black — no false lashes needed with this mascara! Using step 1 I applied a light coat of mascara, separating the lashes. I then used step 2 in the outer upper corners for a more dramatic and intense effect.
Lips
Finally it was time for the lips. I mixed two COVERGIRL Lip Liners together, Sublime #200 and Passion #215, creating a beautiful red and prune pigment, allowing me to contour her sexy lip look. I then used a little bit of LipPerfection in Hot #305 to create a deep red finish.
