Get the Look: Lily James at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards

Get Lily James' Stunning Red Carpet Look at Home!

 

Downton Abbey's Lily James stunned yesterday's Golden Globes Red Carpet. Her effortless, 1970's French Riviera inspired look  saw her onto the best dressed list for 2016. Described as a goddess oozing elegance, between her stunning Marchesa gown, her waves and her makeup, we are pretty much obsessed with Lily James!

Want to recreate Lily's look? We'll show you exactly how she achieved this gorgeous look.

Hair

1. Lily first used the Show Beauty Sheer Thermal Protect ($55) to ensure her hair was protected from the excessive heat of a curling iron.

2. The Show Beauty Thickening Mist ($55) was then used and sprayed onto the roots of her hair to achieve a natural bounce and ensuring her hair does not fall flat, looking lifeless. Her hair was evenly parted in the middle and the Show Beauty Finishing Spray ($20-47) was also used all over her hair to make sure everything stays in place whilst she walks the red carpet.

4. Instead of using a curling iron to achieve these waves, it is often more effective to use a straightening iron as this is what gives the effortless waves. Using the straightening iron, curl each side of hair the opposite way, ensuring the curls move outside of her face rather than under.

5. To finish off the effortless waves, the Finishing Spray was used again, this time to ensure that the waves hold and do not drop over the night.

The Show Beauty Range can be found in any Sephora store or on their website (www.sephora.com.au).

 

Makeup

Lily's magical makeup was created using an entire range of makeup from A-list Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury. However, these products may be expensive, so I have included some alternative products which are offer the same results, yet are more affordable and readily available.

1. Lily's entire face was first prepped with Charlotte's Magic Cream ($125) and Charlotte's Magic Eye Rescue ($90) under the eyes, to ensure a flawless, soft appearance. Charlotte's Magic Foundation ($52) was then used to provide full coverage and enhance the flawless look.
An alternative foundation may be MAC Mineralise Moisture Foundation ($49), which provides a flawless finish without looking heavy and also contains SPF 15.

2. Lily's eyebrows were then shaded in using Brow Lift in Cara D ($45) and were brushed upwards to perfectly frame her face.
An alternative eyebrow filler could be Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz ($21-$25),  which still provides a long lasting look.

3.  Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon ($37) in Bronzed Garnet was used across the lids then lined the tops of the eyes and waterline with Rock ‘N’ Kohl ($43) in Barbarella Brown. To enhance the eyes, Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow ($43) in Jean and Mona Lisa were applied across the lids. Lily’s eye look was finally finished by applying four coats of Full Fat Lashes ($46) to the top and bottom lashes.
To line the tops of the eye, the Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil ($23) can also be used in the Brulee colour. This will look effective with the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Silk Eyeshadow ($34) in 7 Sweet Fire and 9 Rock Sand.
As I have mentioned in one of my earlier blog posts, a good mascara I have fallen in love with is the Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening and Volumising Mascara ($24) and this can be used as an alternative to the Full Fat Lashes.

4. Filmstar Bronze & Glow in Light-Medium ($97) used to highlight and sculpt Lily’s cheek, nose, jawline and temples. To add a dewy glow, Beach Stick in Moon Beach ($55) was applied to cheekbones and down the centre of nose.
An alternative powder highlighter could be the popular Anastasia Beverly Hills So Hollywood Illuminator ($28). The dewy look can also be achieved through using Benefit Cosmetics High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter ($26) perfect for highlighting under the eyebrows, cheekbones and down the centre of the nose like so.

5. To create the perfect cheek color,Cheek to Chic in Love Glow ($60) was used with a swish of the outer shade across Lily’s cheekbones and pop of the inner shade at the apples.
A similar effect can be achieved through using the NARS Dual-Intensity Blush in Fervor ($45).

6. To complete the look, Lily achieved a nude lip with K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Bitch Perfect ($48) followed by Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Iconic Nude ($34).
The perfect alternative lipstick could be the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in Shade 6 - Rouge Bergamasque ($36), a delicate nude pink. This could be finished off similarly with the NARS Velvet Lip Liner in Waimea ($24).


Most of the Charlotte Tilbury makeup products used are available in Australia through Net-A-Porter.

Have fun pulling off this look!
