Kristen Wiig’s Makeup Artist on Her Sun-Kissed 2024 Emmys Look


Among the top beauty trends seen at the 2024 Emmy Awards, statement blush and easy glamour ruled supreme. Palm Royale star and producer Kristen Wiig had each in spades on the red carpet Sunday night, thanks to an ethereal sun-kissed glow created by artist Jo Baker for Dior Beauty, which expertly complemented the actorā€™s twinkling laser-cut Oscar de la Renta gown.

Celebrity artist Jo Baker perfects Kristen Wiigā€™s lipstick ahead of the 2024 Emmys red carpet.

Itā€™s easy to opt for a bolder makeup look to match the opulence of award season, but Baker explains that nowadays, the starā€™s go-to red carpet glam is all about celebrating her natural beauty. ā€œI think right now, Kristen is in an utter beauty revolution stage where she wants to be herselfā€”she wants to be in her own skin,ā€ the artist tells Bazaar. ā€œSheā€™s comfortable, happy, and successful. I wanted to give her a beauty look that complements where sheā€™s at in her life and her natural beauty, rather than giving her a themed look.ā€

Ahead of makeup, Baker prepped Wiigā€™s skin using ZO Skin Healthā€™s Calming Toner and Growth Factor Eye Serum. The artist also reached for the brandā€™s Brightalive Skin Brightener, which served as the base for Wiigā€™s luminous complexion. ā€œKristenā€™s skin is gorgeous already, and itā€™s pretty sun-kissed a lot of the time,ā€ Baker says. ā€œI wanted a base that showcased her freckles and her natural flush.ā€ To further enhance the starā€™s no-makeup makeup look, Baker applied Diorā€™s Forever Glow Star Filter in #3 and then the Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick in #4N exclusively to neutralize and perfect specific areas of Wiigā€™s skin.

She finished the starā€™s face makeup with Diorā€™s Rouge Blush Colour & Glow in shade #257 Dioriviera, and the Dior Forever Skin Contour Stick in #3 Medium. For a bronzy eye, Baker applied the Diorshow 5 Couleurs palette in #343 Khaki and finished with a few swipes of Diorshow Mascara in #090 Black. Wiigā€™s final beauty look was completed with a nude lip, starting with a hydration boost from Rouge Dior Balm in #000 Diornatural, plus color from their transfer-proof Rouge Dior Contour Lip Pencil in shade #310 Beige Tulle, and satin-finish Rouge Dior Lipstick in #200 Nude Touch.

ā€œThe lip tone was really the hero for this look with the freckles,ā€ Baker adds. ā€œHaving a nude with tan skin like this can often go kind of washed out. What I like about the new Dior #200 Nude Touch lipstick that I used on Kristen is that it has this richness and luxe texture. So youā€™ve got this gorgeous pigment, but itā€™s still nude. And itā€™s packing a little bit of color with this peachy tea tone undertone, but it really is the hero of the look.ā€
