Cultivate Amy Schumer’s Met Gala Cat-Eye

Celebrity makeup artist Andréa Tiller gave Amy Schumer “radiant, glowing skin with a statement cat eye and soft defined lips” for last night’s Met Gala. To complement this year’s theme, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, Tiller’s goal was to create, “a graphic, edgy cat eye, and this event is the event to do it in. Anything out of the ordinary is ordinary here!”

· Tiller lined Amy’s waterline with Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Brown Copper ($25) and applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eyeliner in Black Ebony ($25) to her lash line to create a full lash effect.
