Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup
The inspiration for Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup was punk chic. As told to Blaq Vixen Beauty by celebrity makeup artist Lucky Smyler. Edited for clarity. Kevyn Aucoin & Urban Decay | Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup I framed the face by penciling in her eyebrows with Kevyn Aucoin Brow Pencil in Brunette.

I wanted all of the focus to be…
