Product watch : Awards season

The Pan Am star wanted glowing skin and warm, smoky brown eyes to complement her dusky-pink lace Dolce and Gabbana gown.

Face

Lancôme make-up artist Shehla Sheikh mixed Lancôme Éclat Miracle, €21, an illuminating serum, with Lancôme Teint Miracle foundation, €36, and buffed it onto Annabelle’s cheekbones with the tip of a foundation brush using upward, circular motions to create a dewy finish. She then swept Lancôme Blush Subtil in Rose Sable, €38, over the apples of the cheeks.

Eyes

Shehla mixed Lancôme Ombre Hypnôse Mono eye-shadows, €23 each, in Sable Enchanté, a cool gold shade, and Très Chocolate, a smoky brown, and brushed them across the entire lid for a glamorous eye. She then applied a touch of bronzer to the contour with a shadow-brush. Two coats of lengthening Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara, €27, finished the look.

Lips

Shehla brushed Lancome Rouge in Love lipstick in Rose en Deshabillé, €25, a light, pinky-brown shade, onto unlined lips.

Lily James

The Downton Abbey actress chose vintage eyes to match her beautiful vintage-lace dress, says Shehla Sheikh.

Face

Shehla again mixed Lancôme Éclat Miracle serum with Teint Miracle foundation and buffed it onto Lily’s cheekbones. She then used Lancôme Star Bronzer in shade 01, €36.50, to contour below the cheekbones and up the sides of the face.

Eyes

Shehla used a damp brush to give Ombre Hypnôse Mono eye-shadow in Sable Enchanté a strong, metallic finish. She applied this all over the lid and right into the inner corners to make the eyes ’pop’. Lancôme Le Crayon Khol in Brun, €21, was applied to the upper lash-line and then layered with Ombre Hypnôse Mono in Très Chocolate to intensify the colour. Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara, €27, created a false-lash effect.

Lips

Lily and Annabelle asked for the same lipstick in Lancôme’s BAFTA make-up suite at The Savoy Hotel.

Dawn Porter

The elfin-faced TV presenter sparkled in a WilliamVintage mini-dress at the IFTAs. MAC senior artist Lesley Keyne shares her make-up secrets.

Face

MAC Strobe Cream, €31.50, was buffed into the skin to give a gorgeous luminous base. MAC New Mineralize Moisture Foundation, €36.50, was then layered onto the skin to provide an even, more radiant finish. To finish the look, MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush, €19.50, gave the apples of Dawn’s cheeks peachy warmth.

Eyes

Lesley began by lining the eyes with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, €17.50, to act as base for the rest of the makeup. MAC Eyeshadow in Carbon, €15.50, was applied all over the lids and then buffed out with Eyeshadow in Copperplate, €15.50, to give a softer finish. For added depth, the eyes were lined (both top and bottom) with MAC Defiantly Feline Superslick Liquid Eyeliner, €17.50. MAC Opulash Mascara, €18, was applied for voluminous lashes.

Lips

MAC Whirl Lip Pencil was applied all over the lips to ensure Dawn’s lip colour lasted the night. MAC Pure Zen Crèmesheen Lipstick gave them a pouty, glossy finish.

Anne Marie Duff

The Sanctuary star and IFTA lead actress nominee went for a natural face and full-on lashes.

Face

“Anne Marie has beautiful skin so we only needed to use a light base,” says Lesley Keyne. MAC Prep and Prime BB Beauty Balm, €30.50, was applied all over the skin to give a sheer veil of coverage. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, €18.50, was added where needed to cover imperfections. MAC Blush in Easy Manner, €22.50, was swept over apples of the cheeks.

Eyes

“We chose warm taupe shades for Anne Marie’s eyes to complement her beautiful blue dress,” explains Lesley. MAC Naturally Eye Pencil in Coffee, €16.50, was wrapped around the whole eye for a strong, rich line. Then MAC Eyeshadow in Charcoal, €15.50, was layered on top for added intensity. Lingering Brow Pencil, €17, added a natural fullness to the brows. The eyes were framed with Opulash Mascara and #7 Lashes, €13, for a fluttery finish.

Lips

MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish, €19.50, was drawn over the entire lip area then Clear Lipglass, €16, was applied to give an ultra-glossy finish.
