The Inspiration: A Living Garden on the Red Carpet
Jisoo’s Met Gala makeup look was designed as an extension of her custom Dior gown, created in collaboration with Jonathan Anderson. The strapless, backless column dress was entirely embroidered with a lush garden scene, with three-dimensional floral bouquets appearing to bloom from the gazar fabric. To keep fashion and beauty in the same visual language, makeup artist Pony worked exclusively with Dior Beauty products to translate that garden into a rosy, luminous face. The result was a Met Gala makeup look centered on a soft garden-inspired flush: warm pink tones on the eyes, a dewy, blooming complexion, and sheer glossy lips that echoed petals catching the light. This harmony between dress and makeup made Jisoo’s debut feel cohesive, intentional, and deeply personal—an artistic collaboration from headpiece to highlight.
Step 1: Create a Dewy, Blooming Complexion
To mirror the soft glow of fresh petals, start with a radiant base. Pony perfected Jisoo’s skin using a Dior 24-hour wear foundation in shade 1N, which combines buildable medium-to-high coverage with a natural glow finish and skincare-inspired ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptide. Follow with the matching full-coverage concealer in shade 1N to hide dark circles, redness, and any small imperfections while maintaining a hydrated, transfer-proof finish. Next, bring in the garden-inspired flush by sweeping Dior powder blush in shade 475 Rose Caprice onto the apples of the cheeks and blending toward the temples for a diffused rose bloom. Finish the complexion with the Dior highlighter palette in 004 Rose Gold Glow, using the pearlescent and metallic tones on high points of the face so the skin looks luminous, supple, and lit from within.
Step 2: Rosy Garden Eyes with Soft Depth
Jisoo’s eyes were kept warm, romantic, and subtly dimensional to echo the florals embroidered on her dress. Recreate this by blending shades from two Dior eyeshadow palettes: 429 Toile de Jouy and 743 Rose Tulle. Use the softer pink and nude tones as a wash over the lids, then add slightly deeper hues to the outer corners and lower lash line for gentle definition that still feels airy. For extra light-catching radiance, tap Dior’s multi-use eyeshadow stick in 006 Pearl Star on the inner corners and the center of the lids, blending with your fingertip for a seamless sheen. Define the lash line with Dior’s waterproof liquid eyeliner in 096 Satin Black, keeping the line fine and precise, then complete the look with the refillable Dior mascara in 090 Black to fan, lengthen, and curl lashes without overpowering the rosy softness.
Step 3: Petal-Soft Lips and Finishing Touches
To keep the focus on the garden-inspired flush while still polishing the look, Jisoo’s lips were kept glossy, sheer, and softly rosy. Apply Dior’s refillable lip gloss stick in shade 405 Rosy Dior directly from the bullet for instant ultra-shine with a mirror effect. The hyaluronic acid-infused formula keeps lips hydrated and plush, enhancing their natural color rather than masking it. Blot lightly if you prefer a more subdued sheen, or layer for extra dimension that catches the light on the red carpet—or in real life. For the final touch that ties the whole beauty story together, mist on a fruity floral eau de parfum infused with Damascena rose essence and bright lychee notes wrapped in a creamy, caramelized accord. The fragrance reinforces the garden narrative, ensuring your celebrity makeup recreation feels complete, cohesive, and sensorial from first glance to final impression.
