How to Get Adele's Adorable Look On Valentine's Day, who better to turn to for beauty inspiration than Adele, whose sultry retro look at the Grammy Awards this week seemed equally perfect for a romantic dinner or a singles night on the town. After all, is there a finer post-breakup inspiration than Adele? The two lip colors Adele wore at different points in the evening - chalky pink and bold red - could not have been a more fitting palette for the holiday. I asked a makeup artist, Emily Kate Warren, to offer some guidance on creating an Adele-inspired look. Herein, her detailed instructions: Choose a foundation with a bit of dewiness. Ms. Warren likes Shiseido's Dual Balancing foundation, "which leaves a subtle radiance to your face," she said. But if you want to stick with your existing foundation, she recommends using a highlighting cream like Jemma Kidd's Dewy Glow: All Over Radiance Cream on the cheekbones and across the bridge of the nose. "Any place that is raised and bony will catch a good highlight," she said. Use powder only on the areas that appear too shiny, like the forehead, the sides of the nose and the chin just below the lip. A good cheap drugstore option is Palladio rice powder, which Ms. Warren likens to velvet. Swipe the powder, not the foundation, across your eyelids. "You want the lids to be super-dry," Ms. Warren said, as a canvas for the black matte cream liner she recommends for the top cat eye. Wet n Wild's Mega Eyes crème liner "stays for ages and is so malleable you can create layers and perfect your top edge without crumbles or dragging." The main thing to remember is that the slower you move the brush across your lid, the less straight the line will be. "So a quick flick of the wrist - just like if you were drawing a straight line on a piece of paper," Ms. Warren said, is best. The less you obsess over its straightness, the straighter the line! As for the lower eyelid, Adele "appears to have a black edge along the lower lashes," Ms. Warren said, "but do not use liquid or cream for this part. I'd say a powder or pencil mixed with powder on the back of your hand would work. I like the BeneFit Bad Gal Waterproof liner pencil mixed with a black matte shadow. Draw along your lower lashes, then smooth out with teeny brush or the edge of your foundation sponge. It should look soft. Then line your inner rims with the pencil, so it's really black and intense. Ms. Warren said that Adele's lashes may have been made especially for her, but that anyone can achieve that "Snuffleupagus lash" at home by layering a few strips of false lashes on top of one another. She suggested trying lashes by Ardell. Add plenty of black mascara to blend your natural lashes with the strips. To achieve Adele's sculpted cheekbone look, use translucent powder and then a smaller blush brush to contour with matte powder bronzer just below the cheekbone. "It adds angles to the face without adding too much color," Ms. Warren said. If you have darker skin than Adele, you accomplish this by using a foundation that is a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. For the pink look, Ms. Warren recommends a creamy sheen (like Clinique's Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Mega Melon). Going for the dramatic red? She recommends something like Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl. Now, to paraphrase Adele, you have it all.
