Celebrity makeup artist Melissa Hernandez crafted an ethereal, lit-from-within glow using Armani Beauty for Lux Pascal at the Met Gala, leaning into soft radiance and diffused color.
“The intention was for the skin to feel really ethereal,” Hernandez noted. To achieve that effect, she began by tapping Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter onto the high points of the face before foundation, creating a glow that appeared to come from within rather than sit on top of the skin. She then applied Luminous Silk Foundation through the center of the face to keep the complexion bright and fresh, blending a deeper shade around the perimeter to softly sculpt and add warmth. Luminous Silk Concealer was used under the eyes to brighten and lift, maintaining a seamless, luminous finish.
For the cheeks, Hernandez created a romantic, cool-toned flush by blending two shades of Luminous Silk Cheek Tint and pressing the pigment into the skin for a natural, diffused effect. She layered Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer over the high points for added radiance, then set the look with Luminous Silk Glow Blush to enhance vibrancy and ensure longevity on camera.
On the eyes, a mix of Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow shades delivered a soft wash of steel grey dimension across the lids. The lash line was gently defined with Smooth Silk Eyeliner, smudged for a subtle, lived-in effect, and finished with Vertigo Lift Mascara to create full, fluttery lashes.
To complete the look, Hernandez shaped and defined the lips with Lip Power Matte Lipstick before filling them in with Lip Power Lipstick for a soft, rosy hue. A final layer of Prisma Glass Lip Gloss added a juicy, high-shine finish, tying the entire look together.
The result was a delicate balance of softness and structure—radiant, romantic, and effortlessly modern under the Met Gala lights.

Amber Dreadon prepped Chase’s skin with Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer in shade 2. Next, she applied the NEW Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 6 to even out the skin’s complexion, giving Chase a smooth, even base. She then applied Luminous Silk Concealer in shades 4.75 and 5.75 to brighten and blur any imperfections.
Amber applied Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in NEW shade 63 to create a soft, rosy flush. She layered Luminous Silk Glow Blush in shade 52 on top to enhance the color and add depth.
To achieve a radiant glow, she tapped Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter in shade 1 onto the high points of the face. To warm up the face, Amber used Luminous Silk Creamy Bronzing Powder in shade 100.
Eyes were the main moment. Amber applied Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow in shade 18M to warm up the eyelids. She then added Eye Tine Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow in shade 44s for a soft, rosy shimmer that complimented her dress.
To finish, she applied several coats of Vertigo Lift Mascara to create a lengthened, lifted lash effect.
For Chase’s lips, Amber first applied Lip Power Lipstick in shade 102 for a soft, pinky nude finish. She completed the look with Prisma Glass Lip Gloss in shade 08 for a glossy, high shine effect.
