“I can’t help but go to old photos of Audrey Hepburn when thinking about Rooney,” explains Chanel makeup artist Kate Lee, who has worked with the actress since her breakout role in 2011’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. So it follows that for this year’s Oscar awards—where Mara was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Carol—Lee consulted vintage images of Hepburn for inspiration (“I actually saw them on the VIOLET GREY Instagram earlier this week!”). “She was so tiny and birdlike but had these big, bold brows and lashes, and it all worked,” the artist says of Hepburn’s iconic beauty. Lee’s modern interpretation featured a palette of dove grey eyeshadow and deep brick red lipstick to complement Mara’s own delicate frame (clad in a couture Givenchy dress) and jet black hair (coiffed by Adir Abergel). Read on for Lee’s tutorial on how to achieve the actress’ red-carpet look.
