Eyes: Jake Bailey applied the lavender shade in Covergirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky along Katy's top lids from lashline to crease, and blended it using his fingertips. He then tapped Makeup For Ever Glitter onto her lids. Jake followed with Covergirl LiquiLineBlast in Green Glow along her lower water line and lower lashes and blended it with a small brush for a smoky effect. He finished with two coats of black mascara on Katy's top and bottom lashes.

Cheeks: To prep Katy's skin, Jake used NARS Aqua Gel to keep her face hydrated and moisturized. He then swept a shimmery pink blush and dusted glitter along her cheekbones for some sparkle.

Lips: For a rich, pink look, Jake used Covergirl LipPerfection Lipcolor in Temptress and changed it to a brighter berry/pink for her performance.

A message from yours truly

I proudly try never to over-edit photos, and very rarely edit at all. My interest (and I assume yours too) is in seeing the real Katy my lady, who doesn't need excessive retouching! Thanks for following and supporting a true blue Katy blog!

Steal KP's MTV Movie Awards Look

The wig was definitely the focal point of the look so we wanted to balance that bright color out with a dramatic glamorous eye and keep the rest of the colors nude. She wanted a polished chic look. For her face I used Makeup For Ever HD Foundation followed by COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach to give her cheeks a warm glow.

On Katy’s eye I used COVERGIRL Line Exact in Black. I love liquid liner because it allows you to change the shape of an eye, we wanted to create a more almond shape for Katy. Above the black liner, I used the white shade of the COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke. In her waterline I applied new COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Silver Spark to make the eyes pop. Women tend to be afraid to use liner in the inner eye but it actually balances out a dramatic eye look. To finish the eye I applied multiple coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion in Very Black.

On her lips I used COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Flirty Nude and applied LaMer Lip Balm on top for a touch of shine. Before her performance I punched up the look a bit by adding COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Blue Bloom for a pop of color and COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Everbloom Kiss. Katy loves the Outlast Lipstains because they are great for when she performs; they don’t stick to her hair or microphone and never smudge.  — Jake Bailey
