Hunter Schafer Says We're Wearing Eye Shadow on Our Noses This Holiday Season
Between Wicked and basically every movie Zendaya promotes, it has become very much in vogue in the last few years for stars to pay homage to the film they’re promoting through bold beauty and fashion choices. A red-carpet look can now be an extension of the movie's world, and Hunter Schafer is the latest celebrity to make that abundantly clear. At the Los Angeles premiere of Blade Runner 2099, she arrived with an eye-makeup look inspired by one of the original film's most memorable characters—but instead of looking costume-y, it actually looks suspiciously... wearable?
In Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic, Daryl Hannah plays Pris, a punk-adjacent replicant whose peroxide-blonde hair and dramatic, mask-like eye makeup helped make her one of the film's most recognizable characters, not to mention a look that launched a thousand Halloween costumes. Schafer doesn’t play Pris this time around, but that doesn’t mean she can’t have her own stunning 2026 take.
Makeup artist Sandy Ganzer kept the spirit of the original makeup but gave it a more polished update: Metallic, smoky taupe eye shadow extends horizontally from the eyes toward the temples, with the most striking detail being the silvery pigment at the inner corners and crossing the bridge of Schafer's nose. Rather than treating the nose as a boundary between two eyes, the shadow connects everything into one elongated shape, almost like a sheer, narrow veil.
The rest of Schafer's makeup was understated: barely-there foundation and concealer, a subtle touch of rosy blush, and a hint of blurred, warm mauve lip color. That’s what lends itself to seeming so feasible for a real-life look, not to mention that hairstylist Rena Calhoun kept Schafer’s hair relatively restrained yet undone. Loose pieces and flyaways escape the soft updo at the back, giving it a slightly frazzled texture that nods to Pris without competing with the eyes.
Pris might have been dressing for a dystopian future, but Schafer makes her signature makeup feel surprisingly sensible for present-day functions. Let’s just say this year’s holiday-party pics might look a little different.
