Whitney Peak isn’t any stranger to somewhat hocus-pocus. Not only is the Gossip Girl lead one in all the celebrities of Hocus Pocus 2 (streaming now on Disney+), but she also knows the chameleon-like magic and fun that beauty can provide. Peak has done fluffy hair and dotted mint green eyeliner for the Met Gala, full-on ā80s glam with electric purple eyeliner for the quilt of Numero Netherlands, and made dramatic cat-eyes a beauty signature, onscreen and off. As an envoy for Chanel, she works ceaselessly with the homeās makeup artist, Tyron Machhausen, and hairstylist, Naeemah Lafond, calling them her ādream teamā in an Instagram post.
For her Hocus Pocus 2 Recent York City premiere beauty look, Macchausen explained, āWe desired to juxtapose her flowery Chanel dress with this intense smoky gunmetal eye and the bantu-knots to present it type of a cool girl vibe.ā To attain this, he used Chanel Ombre PremiĆØre Laque Limited-Edition Longwear Eyeshadow in LamĆ© Acier and Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in Modern Glamour to create the extended-to-the-heavens, yet soft-at-the-edges cat-eye.
For the defined, yet soft glow he gives to the skin, Mancchausen used two shades of foundation. āI all the time use no less than two shades after I work on the muse, as using a single color would make the face appear flat.ā Specifically, he used Chanel Ultra Le Teint Ultrawear All-Day Comfort Flawless Finish Foundations in BD41 and BD51. āI’m really into the general ā90s feel that’s back and center stage, all the best way from its extreme minimalism to full supermodel glam,ā Macchausen says.

What have been a few of your favorite beauty moments to this point?
Iāve been lucky to get a likelihood to work with many talented makeup artists, but I believe every part Tyron [Machhausen], Naeemah [Lafond] and I even have done togetherā specifically the Met Ball look with the green eyeliner and the āfroāwas so epic. Weāve experimented loads each time weāve worked together, from bleached brows to daring eyes and slick backs to flat-tops to neon bobs.
What were you taught about beauty growing up?
That beauty is absolutely internal. It doesnāt matter what you appear like in case you donāt have a form heart or treat individuals with the identical respect youād wish for yourself. My mom instilled this in me at a young ageāespecially after I began wearing makeup for dance competitions and it might bleed, to wearing it in school and feeling the necessity to slot in by covering up spots or straightening my hair, etc. Vanity gets you nowhere in case you should not have brains and empathy to back it up.
How do you favor to prepare for an event? What’s the environment like?
Iām pretty easy when it comes to music. I like to be introduced to recent stuff, so Iāll normally have another person play music, unless Iām feeling something specific. I even have luckily met great hairstylists and makeup artists for the reason that starting and have kept them constant, so itās all the time familiar and cozy. Full transparency and understanding of one anotherās energy and vision without compromising creativity! Good energy really…thatās an enormous a part of it for me.
Do you enjoy getting your makeup done? Some donāt…
I doā¦it could possibly be the most effective part, I feel, of attending anything where there may be loads occurring. I even have terrible social anxiety and have a tough time with big events, so the time within the chair beforehand, and everybody Iāve got around, really affects my mindset going into any environment.
How do you sometimes determine your beauty search for an event?
Iāve gotten away with leaving it as much as Tyron in terms of picking looks. I donāt have too many doās and donāts in terms of that area, as Iām not well-versed. I simply trust and hope that it comes through. Iām also all the time working with easygoing artists who take my opinion into consideration and is not going to let me walk out feeling lower than one hundred pc.
