Get the Look: Reese Witherspoon’s Blue Eye-Enhancing Makeup

It’s rare that Reese Witherspoon doesn’t look positively glowing at a red carpet event, but at last nights’s MTV Movie Awards, her eyes seemed to sparkle even more than usual. The reason? Makeup artist Molly R. Stern created a look designed to place all the emphasis on the actress’s baby blues. “By keeping her skin looking super fresh and natural, and the lips bright but sheer, I was able to keep the attention on her smoldering liner and bright eye color,” Stern said. Here’s how she created the makeup look from start to finish.

This creates the most flawless canvas to build off of.”
