Drew Barrymore Behind the Cover: Beauty

MAKEUP: Makeup artist Jo Strettell captured a strong, confident vibe with perfect skin, thickly applied mascara, and a classic pout. To get the look, she lined Barrymore's lips, then brushed on a red hue, blotted, and reapplied to intensify the color. "Simple but striking," Strettell says. HAIR: Hairstylist John D was going for an amped-up version of Barrymore's naturally wavy texture. First, he worked in mousse for volume, dried her hair with a diffuser, and then bent pieces inward with a flatiron. NAILS: Manicurist Debbie Leavitt came up with a custom nail design featuring Flower polishes. "Drew is open to new ideas, so we decided to mix things up a bit."
