The Met Gala red carpet is in a class of its own. Against the backdrop of a shared theme, there is a mandate for personal expression, from the refined to the stuff of fantasy. This year, we followed the makeup artist Fara Homidi as she created the look for the model Paloma Elsesser: a punchy, powdery red lip with luminous skin. Here are the essentials for that sublimely elegant effect—plus some pick-me-up products for the morning after a big event.
