Limelight Looks: A Hayden Panettiere Inspired Makeup Tutorial

October 19th, 2012 by Karen 32 Comments

Hayden Panettiere Makeup Tutorial

I need another TV show addiction like I need another Bouchon Bakery macaron (OMG! — the peanut butter and jelly ones are a revelation!), but in my defense, when I couldn’t fall asleep the other night, at least I watched a new show like Nashville and not an episode of the Jersey Shore.

I actually really like the show. It stars Hayden Panetierre and Connie Britton as dueling country music divas. I’m not sure if it’ll be the next Friday Night Lights, but the music’s catchy, the story’s entertaining (so far), and it showcases some pretty makeup looks.

Hayden plays a cross-over country artist, and in the last episode she wears a shimmery greenish brown smokey eye in the video for a song called Telescope.

GURL, work those shorts!

I thought it looked really cool, so I gave it a try today, but with a little twist to make it slightly more wearable (’cause that’s how I roll, boo).

I used a mix of makeup from Too Faced, MAC, Illamasqua, Bobbi Brown and Revlon, but of course you could use similar products from other brands.

The Too Faced Sweet Indulgences Palette

Before we jump in, let’s gather our makeup first. We’ll need…

  • A teal cream eye shadow like MAC Paint Pot in Delft
  • A light shimmery green eyeshadow like Too Faced Niced Stems! (from the new Sweet Indulgences Palette)
  • A dark shimmery green eyeshadow like Too Faced Pastille (also from Sweet Indulgences)
  • A matte brown like MAC Brown Script
  • A black eyeliner like Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Eye Pencil in Jet
  • A shimmery gold eyeshadow like Too Faced Honeymoon (from Sweet Indulgences)
  • A mascara like LORAC Pro
  • False lashes like Revlon Fantasy Lengths lashes in 91002 Intensifying
  • A pink blush like Illamasqua Hussy
  • A pink lipstick like Too Faced La Creme in I Want Candy

The eyes: step by step

Step 1:
Start by applying the teal cream shadow on your lids and blending out the edges.

Step 2:
Pat the light green shimmery eyeshadow directly on top of the teal.

Step 3:
Sweep the matte brown eyeshadow into your crease and along your lower lash lines.

Step 4:
Line your upper and lower lash and water lines with your black eyeliner.

Step 5:
Pat the shimmery darker green eyeshadow on the outer third of your lids and along your upper and lower lash lines.

Step 6:
Apply the shimmery golden eyeshadow in the inner corners of your eyes, following up with mascara on your upper and lower lashes and finishing with false lashes.

The rest of the look

Super easy! Just sweep the pink matte blush on your cheeks, and apply your pink lipstick.

      Hi Tracy,

      Yup, I think both Hayden and Connie Britton sing their own music. It’s pretty cool.

      Have a great weekend!

        Not yet… I work full time and have a 3 year old and a 5 month old so I’m lucky to get to watch anything these days! I will admit to being a reality show junkie so if I get to sneak a peak it’s Project Runway or RHW’s. Have a good weekend! I’m enjoying your blog and it seems we like similar products! xo Holly

    This is an absolutely gorgeous look! I’m loving the greens. I don’t have the Too Faced palette but have been using similar colors from Urban Decay’s palette–I think it was Book of Shadows 3.

    I love this! You make green look like an awesome and wearable color. It is interesting to see how others work with green and I love this look! It is probably something I would wear every day.

    For some reason, I felt like I could only wear neutrals because of my skin color (which is nearly the same as yours). Thanks for showing me how to work other colors. I better buy some greens and blues now…

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my almost-three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
