Tonight’s Met Gala 2021 celebrates the New York Fashion Institute of Technology with the opening of an exhibition titled “American Style: A Fashion Dictionary.” Academy Award-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson appeared in a bright red fishtail gown from AZ Factory that complemented the theme of the evening. However, it wasn’t just the dress that caught the eye, it was her moisturized skin and bold beauty makeup that caught the attention. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Hudson’s makeup.
Celebrity makeup guru Ernesto Casillas began prepping Jennifer Hudson’s skin a week before the event. “I used QMS Medicosmetics skincare for the base,” he said. He also mentions, “The brand, which originated in Germany and is new to the U.S. market, is great for skin prep for red carpet looks. The main ingredient in its products is bovine collagen, which provides ultimate hydration to the skin before makeup and ensures that the skin is hydrated and plumped up!”
To give Hudson’s skin an ethereal glow, Casillas began his pre-makeup skincare routine by deep cleansing and toning the skin with QMS’s Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizing Serum. “First, I applied QMS’s Daily Collagen Serum evenly over her face, even around the eyes, as it absorbs quickly. Then, I layered on the Oil Collagen Essence for added moisturization. This product is lightweight and well absorbed, with excellent deep hydration. It’s a great choice for my skincare routine.”
After applying the collagen serum, Casillas uses QMS’s Advanced Collagen Eye Firming Serum, which she gently massages around the eye area and leaves on for 15 to 20 minutes as a way to activate and lift her eye area. “I also recommend that Jennifer use QMS’s 7-Day Collagen Concentrating Serum, a concentrated serum that provides extra moisturization to her skin after she applies heavy makeup. It’s like having a professional facial every day. In addition, I use QMS’s Firming Mask, which is the ideal skin-preparation step before applying makeup. On top of a series of collagen serums, I applied QMS’s ACE moisturizer to prepare my skin for makeup application.”
For makeup, Casillas chose Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to create a “classic and glamorous” look for Hudson, which was highlighted by her red lips, #### Glow on the Red Carpet: Jennifer Hudson’s Beauty Secrets
