There’s no way we could turn a blind eye to Lily Collins’ red carpet glamour.
Last week, the 35-year-old actress graced the pink carpet for the premiere of the fourth season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris. She dazzled in a floor-length black strapless dress that stood out thanks to a peplum top and a classic checkerboard pattern on the skirt. But unlike her alter-ego Emily Cooper, who likes to wear different colors and is no stranger to bold red lipstick, her makeup was classic and clean.
To create her “flawless skin” and “’rough’ cat eye,” her makeup artist, Fiona Stiles, applied 10 Merit Beauty products to the star’s skin, including a not-yet-available moisturizer. To copy Collin’s look, keep scrolling to shop the exact makeup breakdown—all under $40.

To give Collins a natural flush to her cheeks, Stiles applied this creamy vegan blush that’s a fan favorite of Hilary Duff and Cameron Diaz. Duff once praised it for its ability to deliver “big color”. The blush is also blendable and made with vitamin E for hydration.
It was also used for Sarah Jessica Parker’s doll for the second season premiere And just like that… and it’s been a staple in her character Carrie Bradshaw’s makeup routine since the reboot began. It comes in nine shades, although Cheeky was a pretty pink used on Collins’ fair complexion.

Collins’ bushy eyebrows are one of her defining features, but not all of us are so genetically blessed. This gel pen, which is made with sunflower oil, safflower extract and hibiscus flower, has a precise beveled tip to fill in rare spots (like the scar I have where the hair stops growing), add color and further define them. The opposite end of the wand also has a brush that blurs harsh lines (or mistakes) and helps with a more even distribution.

As the summer wears on, you might notice your complexion slowly fading. Fortunately, a quick dab of bronzer on your cheekbones, forehead, and chin can mimic the color of months of sun exposure. This one was a PEOPLE test winner voted best for blending and can even be brushed on with your fingers when you’re traveling or when you unexpectedly need to freshen up your makeup.
