Although she has fronted campaigns for Nina Ricci and H&M and walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, model Barbara Palvin admits that she was a bit nervous about attending her first Vanity Fair Oscars party. Celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn used an arsenal of Giorgio Armani Beauty products to create the glowy look inspired by Old Hollywood glamour. In this episode of Get Ready With Me, Palvin and her makeup artist give BAZAAR.com an exclusive look at what goes down before Hollywood's biggest night.

"I was watching the carpet and everyone looks great," the model said, while getting her makeup touched up. Quinn perfected Palvin's skin with both the Giorgio Armani Beauty Crema Nera Plumping Essence and Prima Glow-On Moisturizing Balm. He then patted on the Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 4.5. Quinn then applied the New Nude Powder in 9 as a bronzer which added a natural, warm glow to her face.
For her eyes, Quinn reached for the Eye Quattro in Fame, a palette filled with creamy blue and brown shadows. To help make her striking blue eyes pop even more, Quinn traced a flawless cat-eye flick with the Eyes To Kill Proliner in Obsidian Black plus coats of the Eyes To Kill Classico Mascara.
To finish up Palvin's glam, Quinn used his finger to apply the velvety-soft Lip Maestro stain in 511 to her lips. "We're trying to bring back the colors, what I have on my outfit so that is why my lip is pink and I got a little blue on my eyelids. I don't want to do a lot of makeup, because my outfit is a lot and very sparkly," Palvin said with a smile.
For the annual féte, she wore a stunning black tuxedo and pumps—also from Armani—that had a Kira Kira-worthy amount of sparkle. "I'm going to an after-party, so I didn't want to wear a gown and not be able to enjoy the party. So this is always a comfortable choice, but also it's super elegant Old Hollywood style," Palvin said. Her pink lip and metallic eye makeup perfectly coordinated with the pops of color in her suiting.
