AMANDA SEYFRIED was a breath of fresh air when she attended the world premiere of “Les Misèrables” in London. The beautiful starlet had luminous skin, radiant Hollywood blonde bombshell curls, and she was rocking a feisty ruffled flamenco dress! I’m so used to seeing such sweet looks from Amanda, that I wasn’t prepared for this sassy look—but she pulled it off. Despite wearing such an intense dress, I was happy to see that Amanda held back on her makeup and didn’t compete with her dress by going overboard on a smoky eye or deep red lips.

Makeup artist Mary Greenwell worked with Amanda, who takes on the role of Cosette in the feature film of the beloved musical, to help bring out her natural glow for a shimmering red carpet moment. “Amanda’s skin is looking absolutely perfect! Smooth, pale and without a flaw. Her gorgeous Balenciaga dress showed lots of skin with a fabulous décolleté, so it was extremely important that her face matched perfectly to her chest, same texture and same colour.” | continue reading..
