Summary

  • Makeup artist Sam Visser said the 2026 Met Gala look nodded to angelic statues, using bleached brows, dramatic lashes and an unreleased Skin Affair Soft Glow Cushion Foundation.
  • Visser built a matte, marble-like finish with pale concealer highlights, deeper contour and taupe-gray eyeshadow, while mascara, eyeliner and nude-pink lip products defined Consani's eyes and cupid's bow.
  • The makeup was designed to complement Consani's feathery Gucci gown and white satin overcoat, with Consani calling it a simple but heightened version of herself for fashion's biggest red carpet.
