I copied Donatella Versace’s signature makeup so I can channel her during the “American Crime Story: Versace” finale

If you’ve been keeping up with the hit show The Murder of Gianni Versacé: American Crime Story on FX, then this tutorial is for you, darling.

But even if you haven’t followed the limited series, there’s something magical and glamorous about the world of Versacé. It’s a celebrity favorite fashion house (Lady Gaga and J.Lo are huge fans), the clothes are both opulent and gaudy, and it’s just one of those brands that has cultivated a cult following.

While the FX show follows Gianni’s life leading up to his untimely death in 1997, we can’t help but be charmed by the late fashion designer’s sister, Donatella. Penélope Cruz, who plays the fashion mogul, not only draws you in with Donatella’s sense of effortless style, but she makes her presence known.

Donatella’s fashion and signature makeup have stood the test of time, which is why I wanted to recreate her iconic smoky eye and super nude lips. Let’s get started on this Donatella makeup tutorial, so you have time to get all dolled up for the show’s season finale, which is tonight (March 21st).
