There have been series of times Kaley Couco looks splendid on lipstick,and we can’t get enough of her look.
We’ve been seeing double-winged eyeliner and even triple-winged eyeliner on the runways recently, but only when we spotted this version on Cuoco were we convinced it could play for real life.
“This look was for an appearance on Conan O’Brien,” Greenberg recalls. “We love to come together after we see what she’s wearing and just play. That day we were messing around on her eyes and I made a joke and did two lines…and she was like yesssss! On TV you can’t really see the detail, so we made sure to post it on Instagram. Kaley loved the look.” Need more encouragement before you.
One of the many things we admire about Kaley Cuoco: her ability to pull off a daring makeup trend like it’s NBD. If any actress is going to road-test some aspirational, ahead-of-the-curve look we’ve just seen on the runway or Instagram, it’s her—in no small part thanks to her makeup artist Jamie Greenberg.
We caught up with her to ask about some of Cuoco’s recent makeup exploits, and lucky for us (and you), she was happy to spill all the behind-the-scenes details. Get ready to get inspired to dabble in something new this weekend.
1. Double-Winged Eyeliner
Kaley Cuoco and Smile
We’ve been seeing double- and even triple-winged eyeliner on the runways recently, but only when we spotted this version on Cuoco were we convinced it could play for real life. “This look was for an appearance on Conan O’Brien,” Greenberg recalls. “We love to come together after we see what she’s wearing and just play.
That day we were messing around on her eyes and I made a joke and did two lines…and she was like yesssss! On TV you can’t really see the detail, so we made sure to post it on Instagram. Kaley loved the look.” Need more encouragement before you play with multi-winged liner? See what happened when Glamour editor Jen tried the trend.
2. Matte Colour Pop Lips
If you haven’t heard of ColourPop by now, we’re guessing you’re not a social-media beauty junkie. The cult brand’s lipsticks, especially, have become an obsession among beauty vloggers and Instagrammers for their saturated pigments and affordable price tag.
“The colors pay off and last, and they also smell good,” Greenberg says. But a vivid fuchsia like this is not in Cuoco’s usual repertoire. “This look was for the Paley festival,” Greenberg says. “We knew she was wearing all black. When she sat down, Kaley thought we should do a smoky eye.
But when I showed her the ColourPop lip color, it convinced her to do a bold lip—which she very rarely does. We rocked it out and it looked fantastic. Kaley was so excited.” this limited-edition shade, Poppin’, can now only be found on eBay.
The finishing touch to make her eyes pop: some Ardell faux lashes—one of our picks for the coolest beauty products you can find at Target this spring. PS: Kaley we love your phone case. PPS: Here’s a look at her top knot from every angle, which trust us, you need to see. Kaley Cuoco have given us a clue on the type of lipstick that will match with any outfit.
