Jameela Jamil stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday night for the world premiere of Disney and Pixar's new film "Elio," in which she voices the character of Ambassador Questa alongside costars Zoe Saldaña , America Ferrera and Brad Garrett. For the special occasion, she chose to do her own glam, opting against using a makeup artist to create a cat-eye aesthetic to go with inky black micro bangs.

"Tonight is an homage to the '90s supermodel," Jamil told WWD while getting ready for the carpet. "The makeup is very Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, more is more is the goal of the night. I used my signature black eyeliner , with a bronze chrome eye shadow from Charlotte Tilbury. "

For years, Jamil has trusted herself to execute her makeup visions not only for major public appearances, but on-set, too. She famously did her own makeup throughout the filming of "The Good Place," and she doesn't plan on handing the responsibility to someone else anytime soon.
A mix of products from several different luxury beauty brands is preferred by her. However, she does tend to favor Charlotte Tilbury products, crediting their Collagen Superfusion Face Oil as her "skin secret." After going in with the face oil for the Tuesday premiere, she used Huda Beauty's #FauxFilter color corrector to conceal her exhaustion from traveling across nine countries in four weeks. "I look like a Tim Burton movie character without it," she said of the product.
Jameela Jamil did her own makeup and partnered with artist Terrie Owen for her hairstyle.
Next, she painted her face in the Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer and Ilia Beauty's Skin Rewind Complexion Stick as a makeshift foundation formula that achieved a natural finish. YSL Beauty's Setting Powder was added on top for her "nerves," as well as the Nars powder blush in shade Gina , Benefit's Hula Bronzer and roller liner , Charlotte Tilbury setting spray and Pat McGrath Mascara . "I hate false lashes and I don't need to use them when I use this mascara," Jamil noted.
Jamil wore a black David Koma dress with a crocodile bib
"The absolute game changer in my makeup is my Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Glassy Highlighter Balm , which gives you instant glass skin even if you have the face of a dehydrated foot," she added.
For her bouncy blowout and wide curls, Jamil partnered with hairstylist and wig designer Terrie Owen. Her fashion, styled by Calvin Opaleye, included a black strapless gown with a crocodile bib by David Koma, Messika jewels and Christian Louboutin heels. "I chose the dress because we had a futuristic theme for the premiere, and it made me feel like a sexy space alligator. And who wouldn't want to channel that?" Jamil said.
