Behind Belly’s Everyday Makeup Look
If we learned one thing from "The Summer I Turned Pretty" it's that book adaptations are always better when the author is at the helm. Jenny Han, the original mastermind behind the book trilogy the show is based on, had a clear vision for how her characters would translate on screen, especially Belly. Makeup artist Lindsay Desarno, who originally led the department at the start of filming, worked with Han to create Belly's realistic soft makeup look.
Sall says that Tung's BTS prep always included eye patches, like the Live Tinted Rays Copper Eye Masks, Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen for her face, and Sun Bum Sunscreen Lotion for her body. As for her makeup, the team relied on the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette, especially the darker colours that work well as a soft liner. When they wanted a stronger eye look, they used the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel. If you really want to capture that #BellyCore aesthetic, you'll need the Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose and the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry.
Fans of the book will also know that Belly is a sucker for a good snack, so it's no surprise this character detail was brought to life in the show, too. Belly's treat of choice: Cheetos. So, what's the pro secret behind this movie magic? "We had actual ground-up Cheeto standing by to add more onto her fingers," Sall says. "Digging around in a bag of Cheetos is still the best way to get cheesy fingertips."
