Whether she’s gracing our screens on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here or strutting the red carpet, Kerri-Anne Kennerley is doing it with poise and grace. We already know Kerri-Anne is a fellow makeup obsessee. So it’s truly no surprise that her 2023 Logies glam was nothing short of stunning.
We got the full glam breakdown from Kak’s makeup artist, Melanie Irene. And it turns out Kak has more in common with Taylor Swift (or at least her skin care routine) than we first thought…
Here, the secret weapon(s) behind Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s Logies glow.
Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s Logies makeup
Melanie channeled the ‘your skin but better’ memo, starting with a three-step skin prep routiine. “Kerri-Anne has such beautiful skin! We wanted to achieve a soft glam look,” says Melanie.
The first step to flawless, glowing skin? Pat McGrath’s Divine Skin: Rose 001 The Essence ($139 at Sephora). This K-beauty-inspired skin essence has quickly garnered a cult celeb following, and even features in Taylor Swift’s own pre-stage skin care routine. And hey, if it’s going to help give us Tay’s effortless radiance, we’ll happily splurge…
To lock in all that hydration, Melanie then applied Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream ($112 at MECCA) and prepped the under-eye area using the M.A.C Fast Response Eye Cream ($68 at David Jones). “I always prep using this eye ceam,” Melanie explains. “There is caffeine in it so it instantly de-puffs the eye.”
Next up: perfecting the base. Melanie opted for the NARS Radiant Longwear Foundation ($80 at MECCA), hiding any blemishes and touching up any dark spots with the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer ($58 at MECCA).

Kerri-Anne’s effortless rosy flush is all thanks to the TikTok-approved Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush in ‘She’s That Girl’ ($60 at Sephora). Melanie then powdered Kak’s complexion to perfection using both the Huda Beauty Loose Powder in ‘Poundcake’ ($52 at Adore Beauty) and the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder ($70 at Charlotte Tilbury). We’ve heard of mascara cocktailing, but powder cocktailing? Need to try ASAP!
As for the eyes? “Kerri-Anne wanted a matte smokey eye so I used the Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette ($83 at Sephora),” Melanie says. To amp up the look, she then created a custom fan lash look using the MODELROCK Individual Artistry Lashes in 10mm, 12mm and 14mm ($18 at MODELROCK Lashes) on the outer corners.
If you’ve been eyeing off Kak’s glossy pout (us too), you’re in luck! Melanie used the M.A.C Cosmetics Lip Pencil in ‘Soar’ ($37 at Adore Beauty) to line the lips, then finished off the look with Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb in ‘Fussy’ ($36 at Sephora).
Not sure about you, but we’re obsessed.

What does your skin prep routine look like?
I try to keep my skin prep simple. I wash my face and then use a moisturiser before putting on makeup
I am the same /simple is all I have time for.
I am a little bit better with a serum added.
Her make up looks good and so does her dress
Some guidelines on what we can/not say would be nice!
KAK looked amazing! If I was prepping my skin it would definitely involve exfoliation and hydration. Eye masks to help with puffiness and dark circles.
For me it’s eye cream, serum , sunscreen in the morning. Then make up.
I’m very happy with what I’m using.
She looks stunning in that colour blue!
She is always on show so does have to present a stunning look all the time.
I like a nice primer
I really want to try Tatcha.
My skin prep is pretty simple -good cleanse ,serum ,moisturizer,BB cream ,lippy and mascara -No wonder I don’t achieve such glamorous looks.
Lots of nice products. KAK looked lovely as always.
The shade of her blue dress is gorgeous but I dont really like that thing stuck to the front of her dress.
Love the royal blue of her dress. It suits her as well.
Rose essence looks so pretty!
These articles are great. I love seeing what beauty products and makeup they use
She looks great!
She looked incredible – as she usually does. Flawless skin. My skin is up and down in winter so I’d need a big skincare rejuv before an event like this
For a special occasion I use a sheet mask, primer & jade roller under my eyes, if needed.
I love KAK’s dress.
KAK does look fab but it costs a lot of $$$ to look that good.
My must have make up products is concealer/ mascara/ lipstick / blush
Those are mostly on the pricey side, but it certainly looks like they work.
I mostly use hydration mask.
She looks nice
