I loved Kate Mara's gold-and-purple eye shadow at the Transcendence premiere last night so much that I called up makeup artist Colleen Campbell-Olwell to get the inside scoop on this unusual combination.

"Kate was wearing a gorgeous gold Valentino dress with swept-up hair, so we decided to do bold and metallic shadows on her eyes, with a pop of color and luminous skin," said Campell-Olwell. "First, I placed a bronzy gold eye shadow on the middle of her eyelids, followed by a lighter gold shadow in the inner corners. Then, using a small eye-shadow brush, I tapped purple shadow along the top and bottom lash lines just at the outer corners." Campbell-Olwell finished the look with two coats of volumizing mascara--Orlane Volume Care Mascara, to be exact.
