The usually subdued Claire Danes channeled Angela Chase at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Laura Mercier’s Global Artistry Director, Matin Maulawizada, contoured and shaded Danes’ lips with the brand’s Lip Pencil ($20) in Coffee Bean before going over the whole lip with the same pencil ($20) in Deep Wine.

We can’t help you there, but we can tell you which highlighter makeup artist Francesca Tolot applied: L’Oreal Paris' True Match Naturale All-Over Mineral Glow ($16) in Pink Glow #426.

The first builds volume while the second defines, and the waterproof formula helps hold the curl. She used a bit of the latter on the bottom lashes, too, and filled in Chung’s upper lash line with Bobbi Brown’s Gel Liner ($23) in Black to make them look extra full.

At the Producers Guild Awards, makeup artist Carola Gonzalez lined her lips with Giorgio Armani’s Smooth Silk Lip Pencil ($29) in #7 and filled them in with Dior’s Rouge Dior Lipcolor ($32) in Star Fuchsia.

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, makeup artist Monika Blunder used the blue and purple in Cle de Peau’s Eye Color Quad ($55) in 202 and the purplish brown La Beaute Enigmatique Eyeliner Pencil ($25) to build the shimmering lid.

Hairstylist Bridget Brager sprayed the Kerastase’s Chroma Cristal Shine Perfecting Spray ($33) on one section of hair at a time (from mid-shaft to end) before blowing it dry. After, she finished with Pantene Pro-V’s Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm ($5) and Frederic Fekkai’s Sheer Hold Hair Spray ($25).

Makeup artist Molly Stern used Rimmel’s ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Stick ($5) in Bulletproof Beige and Nars’ Duo Eyeshadow ($34) in Paramaribo on her lids before lining Beckinsale’s eyes with Rimmel's ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner ($5) in Black. For an “extra pop,” Stern lined the actress’ waterline with the same eyeliner in Nude.
