How To Recreate Lucille Ball's Makeup Style

Not all women wear foundation, as some choose a more natural look, but foundation can also be the palette an artist paints on. MAC senior makeup artist Romero Jennings told Seventeen to start with a matte foundation as the first layer and then add pressed powder to finish the makeup base. Then, move on to the color and shape of the facial features.

"The three key features to create a Lucille Ball look are the arched brows, spidery lashes, and stylized pink lips," Jennings said. Indeed, that is what many minds conjure up when envisioning the comedic star, whether in color or on "I Love Lucy" in black-and-white.

To achieve that arched brow, Jennings recommends first using MAC Eyebrows pencil in Spiked. After applying that, add another layer using MAC Eyebrows in Lingering. The first is a warm red and the second is a light taupe brown. These pencils should allow you to elongate the brow so that it's thicker toward the bridge of the nose and sharper in the outer corners. For that red tone, finish the brows with MAC Brow Set in Boy Girl.
