While many stars opted for full-on glam at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, Lorde made a stunning entrance with a fresh, natural glow that seemed to capture the essence of a breezy New Zealand day. Her look was all about soft, golden accents and an effortless radiance that felt both cool and poetic.
The genius behind Lorde's luminous appearance was none other than celebrity makeup artist Amber Dreadon. She turned to the beloved K-Beauty brand Dr. Althea to craft a look that was quintessentially Lorde – fresh, modern, and with a hint of poetry.
“It was about creating a look that felt like Lorde – simple, intentional, and deeply personal,” shared Amber Dreadon.
Amber didn't rely on heavy makeup products. Instead, she built Lorde's glow from the ground up, starting with Dr. Althea's Jelly Seal Dewy Mask. This dual-layer gel mask envelops the skin, delivering a surge of hydration that leaves the complexion looking plush and well-rested – think of it as a moisture duvet for the face.
To achieve that "fresh air glow," Amber used the Aqua Marine Jelly Mist as both a cooling pre-glam step and a finishing touch. The gentle brightening effect came from the Vitamin C Boosting Serum, which evened out skin tone with niacinamide and cica, calming any pre-red-carpet nerves.
The makeup was applied with a light hand, allowing it to rest naturally on Lorde's skin. The result? No cakey heaviness, just softly highlighted cheekbones, warm gold eyes, and lips that appeared effortlessly kissed rather than meticulously applied. It was a look that was simple, intentional, and unmistakably Lorde-coded.
