Angela Bassett was one of the Best Dressed celebrities on the 2026 Met Gala red carpet<\/a> \u2014 and not just because her look took inspiration from one of my favorite paintings, “Girl in a Pink Dress” by Laura Wheeler Waring. And with such a statement-making pink dress, the actress’ makeup had to be just as stunning. <\/p>\n “I wanted to create a look that is a luminous expression of sophistication, style, elegance, and grace,” D\u2019Andre Michael says in a press release. “Every detail is intentional, balancing softness with strength, resulting in a look that feels polished, graceful, and effortlessly timeless.”<\/p>\n To get Angela Bassett’s eye makeup look, start with a product like Danessa Myricks Beauty’s Vision Flush<\/a> in TuTu. D\u2019Andre Michael recommends that you “color wash over entire lid up to brow, bottom lid blending out cheeks.” Follow that up with the Colorfix Stix<\/a> at the center of the eyelid. This is a great way to add dimension to your eyes!<\/p>\n Up next, Michael added Wish from the Mini Everyday Magic Neutral Freedom Palette<\/a> to the inner corner of Angela Bassett’s eyes. This is one of my favorite tricks to look more awake!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And you simply can’t forget eyeliner; feel free to go in with the Onyx color of Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner<\/a>. “Inner corners out to a cat line. Bottom inner corners to meet line from the top,” Michael says.<\/p>\n Finish up with lashes if you prefer, and some mascara! I’ve been loving the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara<\/a>. And this is a hack I figured out on my own \u2014 switching from waterproof mascara to washable or water-resistant mascara has actually helped my lashes grow longer and thicker!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Keep up with all Brit + Co’s Met Gala coverage<\/a> and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook<\/a> for all the celebrity updates you can’t miss.<\/strong><\/p>\n Brit + Co may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others, but always offers genuine editorial recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHere’s every eye product Angela Bassett wore at the 2026 Met Gala.<\/h2>\n
