Get Lily Cole’s red-carpet make-up look

Prime time

“For Lily’s luminous look, prep your skin with a liquid primer that contains shimmer, as this results in a radiant glow. A good primer will also ensure that the foundation and make-up will look and feel natural as it lasts from day to night.”

Sweet cheeks

“I wanted to keep Lily’s cheeks translucent with a hint of colour, so I used The Body Shop Lily Cole Cruelty Free Collection Lip & Cheek Dome in Coral,(1) £10, and smoothed it in with my hands for a natural flush. For an added dimension of radiance, dust a highlighter over the top – it gives the complexion an ethereal glow.”

Drama school

“To add intensity to the eyes, I used Lancôme Liner Design in Black (2), £18.50, along the top and bottom lash lines. Then for maximum impact, I curled her lashes with Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers, £20. Finally, I applied YSL Luxurious Mascara Shocking Volume in Deep Black,(3) £23.”

Pout perfect

“I wanted to give Lily an edgy, matte lip look. I started by moisturising her lips with a clear balm, so they were flawless. Then, I patted The Body Shop ColourGlide Lipcolour in 66 Coral Splash (4), £9, on to her lips.”

Ace base

“I applied Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in Creamy Natural,(5) £34, using a Shu Uemura Foundation Brush, £32, to even out Lily’s skin tone where it was needed. Then I dusted witha sheer powder to set.”

Sultry shadow

“I used The Body Shop Lily Cole Cruelty Free Collection Shimmer Cube Palette,(6) £16, on Lily’s eyes. I blended the light pink from the lash line to the brow for a sheer effect. Next, I smudged the dark pink shimmer all over her eyelid with a large brush, before running my fingers over the lid and blending past the outer corners of the eyes.”

Brow belle

“Lily has naturally fair brows, so to keep the eyes modern, as seen on the spring catwalks, I combed a clear brow gel through the brows to add  shine, while shaping them naturally.”
