Either play up the lips or the eyes, but never both at once. It’s an old, familiar adage of beauty. But Phoebe Tonkin knows that there’s an exception to every rule.
The Australian actor attended Chanel and Charles Finch’s annual pre-Oscars dinner held at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, on the eve of the 95th Academy Awards. She wore a black tweed Chanel mini, silver-buttoned and glittering with silver threads. It was simple, sleek and elegant—a minimalist canvas that allowed her to be a little bolder with her beauty look. Instead of drawing the focus onto one part of her face, the actor opted for a dark, smouldering eye, paired with an overlined cherry red lip colour. The result? Easy, retro-inflected glamour.
Below, see how Phoebe Tonkin got ready for the event—and the trick she relies on to ready her lips to hold a bold colour through the night.
“I’ve worked with Christian Wood and Kate Lee for so many years so I was excited to do something a little more dramatic than I usually would," she says.
