Nick Barose On Creating Custom Lashes for Lupita Nyong’o’s ‘The Odyssey’ New York Premiere Look

07/15/2026

No surprise, Lupita Nyong’o stunned at the New York City premiere of her buzzed about film “The Odyssey,” from writer-director Christopher Nolan. Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose was responsible for Nyong’o’s glam, writing on Instagram that he was inspired by “epic 50s and 60s Sword and Sandal films.”

Barose noted that her look was “Femme Fatale winged-out eyes with defined crease and iridescent gold details, paired with long, flirty, feathery lashes with angular, high arched brows for the full classic Hollywood screen goddess effect.” He created the look using a customized mix of the Cluster Palette Kit from I-ENVY, I-ENVY  The Classic Timeless Wispy,  Super Strong Waterproof GlueMaxi Bond and Press & Go Applicator.

Keep reading for a detailed breakdown.

Get the Look:

  1. “I first lined the lash lines with black eyeliner pencil, then I created custom lashes on Lupita by combining I-Envy The Classic Timeless Wispy, I love it because it’s long but also the feathery spaces in between the lashes make it looks soft, seductive and feminine.
  2. I placed the strip lashes with the Press & Go Application using the I- Envy Super Strong Waterproof Glue. There is a heatwave in NYC today so extra sweat proof is key.”
