," that was written just days before the incident. The rendition was emotional from the get-go, with the singer starting over after getting choked up, and the audience wiped away tears of their own as they gave Lovato a standing ovation at the end.
This touching moment was planned down to the last detail days ahead of the ceremony, from pre-show interviews to creating her onstage look, which included tear-proof makeup. We spoke to celebrity makeup artist, who told us the inspiration behind Lovato's look came to him just hours ahead of the show."I kept thinking of a phoenix rising when I watched her rehearsal, and yet she looked so angelic at the same time," he exclusively tells Refinery29.
"For a big performance, powder is key," Dedivanovic tells us. He set the undereye area with YSL Beauty All Hours Setting Powder in B30 Almond, which ensures that the"mascara and liner [didn't] smudge or run." For retaining natural radiance under the heavy lights on stage, he always avoids the cheekbones when sweeping on powder and focuses on the undereyes, sides of the nose, chin, and forehead.
