It was TV’s biggest and most glamorous night of the year: the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, and makeup artist Carissa Ferreri (for L’Oréal Paris) made Gina Rodriguez look even more gorgeous. Ferreri explained her inspiration actually came from the “Jane the Virgin” star’s gown. “The makeup look was mainly inspired by Gina’s dress -- it was more dramatic from anything she’s ever worn.” Check out the steps and beauty products she chose to use on Rodriguez for this special occasion.

STEP 1: Carissa prepped and imparted a glowing base to the face using L’Oréal Paris Youth Code All-In-One Skin Illuminator ($17.99) and to brighten eyes and diminish dark circles, she applied L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Eye Renewal Eye Cream ($24.99).

STEP 2: To achieve Gina’s smoky eye, Carissa used mainly grey and charcoal matte tones from L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude in 01 ($19.99). She accentuated the outer corner of the eye using the charcoal shimmer shadow.

STEP 3: For a natural-looking brow, Carissa penciled in light strokes of L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Designer ($7.99).

STEP 4: To create full, dramatic lashes, Carissa turned to NEW L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara ($9.99), and then lined the inner corner of the eyelids with NEW L’Oréal Paris Superstar Liner ($9.99).

STEP 5: Carissa mixed L’Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Makeup ($10.95) - shades 106 and 107 - in with a touch of L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in N201 Rose ($12.99) to enhance Gina’s skin with a beautiful glow. Using a mini sponge applicator she blended L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator in C302 Ice ($12.99) on top of the cheek bone for added luminosity.

STEP 6: Last, she applied L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Le Matte Lip Pen in 102 She’s So Matte ($9.99) and a touch of L’Oréal Paris Pro Last Lipcolor for a long-lasting lip.

Carissa on polishing Gina’s smile: "I absolutely love Gina's smile! When it comes to the red carpet, we have fun playing around with lipstick shades. No matter what shade we settle on, the color always looks better when paired with pearly whites. Gina recently started using the Crest 3D White Brilliance System ($14.99) and I love how it has really enhanced her natural smile. It's a 2-step daily toothpaste that deep cleans and whitens and gets her smile red carpet ready!"
