Unless you simply haven’t been online in the past 24 hours, there’s no way you haven’t seen pictures from last night’s LA premiere of the Barbie movie. All of the stars walked the red carpet, including Margot Robbie (duh) wearing yet another fashion and beauty look that gave a nod to her titular character. Yes, all of her press tour looks have been iconic, but this one might just be the ultimate. Why? It didn’t fall into the standard Barbiecore aesthetic; it was more glamorous and unexpected. “For the Barbie World Premiere, Margot’s makeup look was inspired by the original “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie doll,” says Chanel makeup artist, Pati Dubroff. “I stripped the makeup back – instead of going full retro, the look is a more simplified, doll-like face. I focused on a red lip to tie in the flower on her dress and the rest of the face is polished and natural, with the soft eyes and glowing skin.”
Robbie’s makeup look was more than the sum of its parts, although its parts are worth mentioning. She had bright, highlighted cheekbones, soft and sophisticated eye makeup, and a high-impact red lip. It was pretty much the definition of ‘glowing,’ and we had to get all the details. We don’t gatekeep, so we’re sharing them with you. Keep scrolling to see every makeup product Robbie wore to the premiere, including a truly iconic Chanel makeup product.
This is one of the best natural-looking foundations money can buy. Dubroff used the shade B30, mixing it with a skin tint to achieve Robbie’s flawless yet lightweight-looking base.
Here’s the skin tint. It has a gel texture and pigmented micro-droplets that burst onto the skin and create a bare-skin effect. Dubroff used the shade Light-Deep.
Here’s the iconic product we were talking about…it’s a classic that’s loved by beauty editors, influencers, and makeup artists because it provides a natural-looking glow and definition. Read our full review to learn why we love it so much. Dubroff used the shade Soleil Tan Bronze, which is the lightest of the three shades available.
After the bronzer, came the blush. Dubroff mixed two shades of this powder formula to create Robbie’s soft washed-out cheek color. The first was this red-pink shade, called Malice. The second was a more neutral-toned terracotta color called Jersey.
To pair back the shine in certain areas, Dubroff used this loose setting powder. It has photo-reflective pigments that illuminate the skin while reducing the appearance of pores, lines, and imperfections.
The final product Dubroff used to perfect Robbie’s glowing complexion was this multi-use highlighter stick. She used two shades. The first was this champagne color, called Sculpted. The second was a translucent one, called Transparent. “I applied Chanel Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Transparent across the tops of the high bones – the top of the brow bone and center of lid,” Dubroff says. “Then, I applied Chanel Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Sculpting to add more strategically placed, champagne-like highlights to the face.”
The only product Dubroff used on Robbie’s eyebrows was this gel, which shapes brows and holds them in place. She used the transparent shade—no tint necessary.
When it came time for eye makeup, Dubroff reached for this eyeliner and eyeshadow crayon in two shades. The first was this rose gold color, called Nude Éclat. The second was an espresso color, called Electric Brown. To us, it looks like the former was used all over the lid, while the latter was just used along the lash line to define the eyes.
Next, Dubroff used this neutral-toned eye pencil. To us, it looks like she used this on Robbie’s waterline to visibly brighten her eyes.
Then, Dubroff used this gorgeous eyeshadow palette, which contains five sun-kissed shades of pressed powder. It’s so pretty.
The final step was a swipe of mascara. Dubroff used this iconic volumizing formula from the brand.
For the red lip, AKA the pièce de resistance, Dubroff started with a base of this hydrating and plumping lip balm. She used the shade Red Camellia.
In our opinion, the star of the show was this red lipstick in shade 854, which is a bold, cherry-red color. The formula is special because it’s highly pigmented. Seriously, all you need is one swipe for full coverage. It’s also hydrating and long-wearing, which explains why Dubroff used it for a premiere event.
Finally, Dubroff perfected the lip look using lip liner—two lip liners to be exact. The first was this cherry red color, called Rouge Cerise. The second was a brighter, more vibrant red, called Rouge Tendre.
