Makeup Artist Mary Wiles On How She Created Lea Seydoux’s Beauty Look For The BAFTAs

At the BAFTAs Lancôme's team created the makeup looks for 150 faces. It was a military makeup operation, involving a LOT of lipstick - to be precise 300 Rouge in Love lipsticks and over 150 combinations of foundation.

One of those faces was Lea Seydoux, who dazzled on the red carpet in yellow Prada + a red Lancôme lip. We caught up with makeup artist Mary Wiles to find out how she created Lea's flawless BAFTAs look.

Mary told us: “Camille Seydoux, her stylist and sister, always has a great vision of the look we are trying to achieve with Lea. This time was glamour and femininity with a modern approach to complement her stunning yellow Prada dress." She added: "Lea manages to pull of that old hollywood glamour while still looking 2015.” With a red lip like that, the Bond girl casting makes perfect sense.

Here are Mary's steps to creating the look...

1. Firstly I kept the skin glowing and fresh, with a little contour and a natural flush (rose flush 01). I then only powdered t zone very lightly.

2. I defined the brows and then used Hypnose Palette ST7 on the eyes. I swept sheer gold eyeshadow over the lids and outwards, with a little contour on the outer sockets.

3. I put Khol Hypnose waterproof liner through the lashes and blended. Curled lashes with lots of Hypnose Dolls Eyes mascara on the top and a little in lower lashes. Then I applied a few individual lashes from centre to outer top lashes.

4. Once Lea was dressed I could see which colour lip would best suit and I lined the lips and filled in to create depth and longevity. Then applied the Rouge in Love 110.

To get Lea's perfect red lip head over to Lancome.co.ukwhere you can buy her lipstick for £22.
