Blake Lively doesn’t rely on stylists to pull together her red carpet ensembles, but she definitely chooses the best in the business when it comes to getting her beauty look right. Makeup artist to the stars, Charlotte Tilbury, opted for a classic, pillar box red lipstick to complement Blake’s pretty pink Burberry gown. Here’s how to recreate it:

1. Charlotte made Blake’s skin flaw-free (she didn’t have much to do in this area) by using a treat and transform demi-matte foundation.
2. She applied a little bit of light reflecting concealer under the eyes to smooth and illuminate where the darkness would naturally gather.

3. Using a soft taupe eyebrow pencil, Charlotte filled in Blake’s brows and elongated them.
4. Charlotte applied a golden bronze eyeshadow to the lids, blending up towards the brow bone and softly defining underneath the eyes.

5. She then used a brown-gold flecked eyeliner along the lash line to define, enhance. and extend the eyes.
6. To finish the eye look and create gorgeous lashes, Charlotte applied several coats of mascara to the top and the bottom lashes.

7. Next, Charlotte used a contour kit to sculpt and contour Blake’s cheekbones using a natural shade.
8. Charlotte never starts a lip look without a lip liner, especially when doing a bold and beautiful pillar-box red lipstick! Use the liner as a stencil and fill in with a moisturizing matte red lipstick.

9. Charlotte finished the skin with a cashmere-soft, finely-milled powder across the t-zone. Not only does this seal in the makeup, it gives the skin a red carpet-ready finish that looks perfected in real life and in HD!
10. Dust a glowing dreamy highlight across the tops of the cheekbones that plays with the light.

11. Finish with a pop of a tawny rose blush from the center of the cheeks—where you would naturally blush for a healthy and happy glow!
