Chase infiniti’s red carpet secret? matching her makeup to her gowns
Chase Infiniti’s ascent in Hollywood has been nothing short of meteoric, evidenced by a Golden Globe nod for her debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s critically acclaimed One Battle After Another (a film that also secured the Best Picture Oscar). But beyond her acting prowess, the 25-year-old Louis Vuitton ambassador has quietly redefined red-carpet elegance, and now, the secret's out: it’s all about the color coordination.
The subtle art of complementary cosmetics
Infiniti’s makeup artist, Amber Dreadon, has perfected a formula that prioritizes a youthful, fresh aesthetic while seamlessly integrating her client’s wardrobe. It’s a delicate balance, Dreadon explains, “keeping the looks delicate, youthful, and fresh, and adding that subtle tie to what she’s wearing to keep the overall look considered, but not too heavy.” The key? Letting Infiniti’s natural beauty shine through. This isn't about heavy contouring or dramatic smoky eyes; it’s about a harmonious blend of Fashion and beauty.
At the Oscars, a wash of lilac eyeshadow subtly echoed the tones in her gown. For The Testaments premiere, champagne eyes and a frosted lip mirrored the ballet-inspired design. But perhaps Dreadon’s personal favorite was the butter yellow inner corner at the Critics Choice Awards—a masterclass in understated chic. The team, including stylists Wayman + Micah and hairstylist Coree Moreno, clearly operates with an enviable synergy. “That’s our superpower!” Dreadon exclaims. “We all work so well together.”
The inspiration for these surprisingly sophisticated color pairings comes from a variety of sources. Sometimes it's a spark during a fitting, an immediate recognition of what shades will harmonize. Other times, a new eyeshadow palette or a particularly striking lip gloss becomes the starting point, prompting Dreadon to build an entire look around it. “Chase looks incredible in everything,” Dreadon admits, “but she’s particularly luminous in pastels and soft colors. If there’s a blush tone in the dress, we can easily amplify it with cheek color—soft pinks, peaches, and tanned beiges—creating a flattering look that feels simultaneously lightweight and impactful.”
The takeaway? You don't need a complete overhaul of your makeup routine to embrace this trend. A simple wash of eyeshadow in a shade that complements your outfit, applied to the inner corner of your eye, can instantly elevate a neutral look. It’s a low-stakes way to inject a bit of personality and color.
The consistency of Infiniti's looks speaks to the power of thoughtful collaboration and a keen eye for detail. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most striking beauty moments are born from the quietest of choices – a testament to the idea that true style isn’t about extravagance, but about inherent harmony.
