I was enjoying all the beauty looks from the BAFTA’s last night – and picked out 4 different looks from our favourite a-list ladies for you to recreate at home > with the key products to help you achieve that glamorous red carpet makeup. We picked products that we love and have all used ourselves here at Beauty and the Dirt, these are the perfect makeup must-haves to get the looks below.
Skin prep is key to getting red-carpet ready. We love the Smashbox techniques for the ultimate Prep and Prime, so take a look on how to get Smashbox skin here. We want to mention Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Skincare range too; as they have become a bit of a cult product – and we know exactly why. The wonder cream-elixirs have gorgeous skin plumping and anti-ageing results, with radiant and youth-boosting properties.
Our faves are:
Magic Eye Rescue Eye Cream instantly brightens and wakes up your eyes. It magically helps to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, smooth out crow’s feet, minimise fine lines and basically re-energise your eyes.
The Magic Night Cream gets to work when you’re getting your beauty sleep; but this is also a good one to prep for the heavy lights and makeup of the red carpet to keep your skin looking plumped, hydrated and healthy.
