How to Get Halle Berry's Look

Jay Manuel: Hey this is Jay from Style Her Famous. Take a look as we demystify Halle Berry, so you can get her look. The thing to remember especially when it comes to blending your foundation is to keep in mind your overall tonality. Now, I just want to explain that and make sure it’s very, very clear. Your tone that’s along your hairline, you see how it’s darker here and lighter here? Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: We always tan more along our hair line because it’s the closest thing to the sun. So when I say keep in mind your overall tonality, it’s the tone that you see through here, through your hairline, through your jaw line. Summer Moseby: Okay, right. Jay Manuel: Whereas most women when they try and match their foundation, test it right here. Summer Moseby: Yeah. Jay Manuel: So when you test it here and then you go here or you take this color and you go up here, it ends up looking really light for us. So, the thing you want to keep in mind is always use something a little lighter and I call it in your inner zone. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: And a darker shade on your outer zone. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: The illusion will be one color because when I look at you right now without breaking it down, I see one tone but really there are two distinct different colors going on at the same time. Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: It’s actually easier to build back the darker shade than to highlight on top. Then you see it looks kind of weird right now. Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: But you’ll see, when I blend it in words, to me, a lot easier to work backwards. Do you know what I mean? Like bring the pigment back in? Summer Moseby: Going brown light to dark and dark to light. Jay Manuel: Exactly. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: And notice how I just hit that T-zone, almost like right here and just under the eyes. Put a little here and here. I’m just dusting a little excess powder over the rest of your face. Now, that we’ve got a little bit of pressed powder and a little excess under your eyes. Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: We’re going to take a bronzer. This is really important. Very simple, I’m just going to take it all around your hair line and then your cheeks. Do you see how it brings that? Just that dimension back to the face and it helps lose that mask look? Summer Moseby: Yeah, it does, how it like blends it all in. Jay Manuel: Yap, it almost makes it look like it’s fading away on the edge of your face. Summer Moseby: Yeah. Jay Manuel: Now, what I’m going to do, to kind of create this Halle Berry eye shadow palette is just a neutral brown. And do you feel where I’m putting that? It’s just sweeping the lid. Now, the trick to get that Halle Berry neutral look is, don’t wear a lot of blush. Halle never wears a lot of blush. It’s mostly, this bronzer that you see. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: So if you smile, notice how I just put it of the smallest amount of soft pink. Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: That’s all I’m going to use. I always recommend doing more than one coat of mascara. Sometimes people do one coat and they think that’s it. But if you do a coat and let it dry and built upon it, it doesn’t get clumpy, they just get thicker and thicker evenly and that’s what I’m doing with you. I’m doing coat after coat after coat, so they are getting thicker as I do it. When I think of Halle she just has these wide eyes. Your eyes are a little narrow. Summer Moseby: Right. Jay Manuel: So, what I’m going to do is just take a beige pencil, it’s not white. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: Now what I’m going to do is line inside your eye a little bit. Summer Moseby: Okay. Jay Manuel: See how that just opened your eye. Now, Halle really loves nudes and browns. She doesn’t wear typically a bright color on her mouth. So, we’re going to this iridescent, kind of brown. Do you like that color? Summer Moseby: Yes, I do love that color? Jay Manuel: How do you feel about it? Summer Moseby: Jay, I love it. I look hot. Jay Manuel: And that’s it for Halle Berry’s natural polished look.
