DIY Rooney Mara's Gorgeous Grunge Chanel Makeup Look From the Oscars

"I'm always inspired by Rooney's coloring, naturally," said Lee. "I just have the best palette ever there. But I was also incredibly inspired by the shade of her dress: almost an antique, dove grey. I wanted to bridge the gap between her dramatic, dark hair color and her pale skin, and to use shades that would make her eyes pop. I chose a gray-violet tone on the eyes, and a deep Bordeaux, brick-red lip that could kick up the blue of her eye color."

"Skin is everything for me," Lee enthused. "I don't like to use heavy moisturizers, so I used Chanel Hydra Beauty Sérum ($97), which leaves no residue. I also applied sunscreen on her."

"For Rooney's complexion, I used Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet Smooth-Effect Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 ($48) in a mix of shades 10 Beige and 12 Beige Rosé, just a tiny bit where needed," Lee noted. "I chose that foundation because it dries velvety and matte, but you still have this beautiful luminosity. For the cheeks, I applied Chanel Powder Blush in Rose Pètale ($45)."

"I elongated Rooney's eye shape with a light, gray-violet eye shadow, blended through the outer-third of her lids," Lee explained. "The shade nodded to the color of her dress without taking away from it. For her brows, I used Chanel Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil in Brun Cendré

($29). For her lashes, I applied a very scant coat of Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir ($32)."

Lee offers her finishing-touch tips: "For the lip look, I started with Chanel Aqua Crayon Lip Colour Stick in Cinnamon ($31), finessed with a brush, then layered on Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in La Sensuelle with a lip brush."
