Get The Look: Katy Perry Goes To India and She Likes It

While most of the 2010 Grammy Awards was low-key (or maybe just nothing shocks us anymore), there were a few, understated moments that had us scratching our heads. First, Britney Spears arrived wearing several layers of fishnet that somehow snarled themselves into a loosely-formed shape of a dress. Then, we noticed Katy Perry was wearing a random bindi under her bobbed bangs, though it was surrounded by a gorgeous, fresh makeup look.

Before the show, Katy tweeted her excitement saying, “Today I’m channeling Indian Betty Paige [sic] princess!”

But what inspired this look? After a recent trip to India, where Russell Brand purportedly popped the question, Katy Perry brought back a variety of bindis (and what looks like a gorgeous engagement ring as well). With celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey working his magic by her side, together they transformed Katy’s style into a “Bettie Page, Indian princess look” for the Grammy Awards. The best part? Most of the beauty products Jake used are budget-friendly, found right at your local drugstore.

How to Get Katy Perry’s Award-Winning Look

To perfect her skin, Jake used Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation, and to set the look, he dusted Guerlain Les Violettes Matte Touch Powder all over the face.

Jake then highlighted the apples of her cheeks with CORALista blush from benefit.

Keeping with the exotic feel, Jake used a mixture of shimmery plums and golds on her eyes. “I was going for a more colorful version of the tradition smoky eye,” said Jake. Jake used COVERGIRL’s double-ended smoky eye stick, Smoky Shadow Blast in Purple Plume by first applying the angled end of the shadow stick, the deeper plum, over the entire lid and blending into a smoky halo. He then applied Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire, using the round, golden end to line along the lid and inner corners of her eyes to brighten the look.

To complete her smoky eye, Jake created an ultra-long lash look with several coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length in black. “The best thing about this mascara is that you can apply coat after coat to get maximum impact without losing separation and elegance,” said Jake.

To balance her dramatic eyes without overpowering them, Jake finished her look with a matte lip, using COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Wild Berry Wink. “I love these Lipstains so much because you can line and shape the entire lip without sacrificing your own lip texture,” Jake finished.
