“I blended a couple of shades to get this look,” says Machhausen. The New York-based Chanel makeup artist is a deft hand at an expertly shaped, super hydrated lip, working on the likes of Sarah Paulson, Alysa Liu, and Anne Hathaway. “I began with a brick-toned shade to line the lips. Then, I added a brighter orangy shade towards the center, which gave a lovely highlight and added depth for a more three-dimensional effect.” The rest of her makeup was kept classic to allow the lip to shine, with a muted contour and glowy skin, dark eyelashes, and a soft-touch slick of eyeliner.
The Elle Fanning beauty playbook leaves room to play, with a statement lip her chosen focal point. Often working with Machhausen and makeup artist Erin Ayanian Monroe (who also does her sister, Dakota Fanning), the rest of Elle’s glam stays more minimal but nonetheless refined, with a radiant complexion that emphasizes her freckles and softly diffused, sunburn-like blush in delicate pink tones on her fair skin. It’s the perfect glow every time. Eyeliner is used sparingly, with natural, fanned out eyelashes.

This shade of red works so well because of the high contrast and color pop effect against her fair skin and blonde hair. Rather than being dusty, muted, or (like the current red carpet beauty trend dictates) blurred, it’s also clear and vivid, studiously lined. Fanning is blessed enough that she can afford to be color agnostic when it comes to a statement lip too: raspberry reds, oxbloods, soft berry, and carnation pink work just as well for her.
