Celebrity makeup artist, Lauren Kaye Cohen shares how she created Elisabeth's ethereal look:

SKIN:
To get Elisabeth's radiant-looking, flawless skin, I began by using a combination of shu uemura's Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation and the new Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation (in areas that needed more coverage) both in shades 784.

I applied both foundations with shu uemura's Natural 18 Goat Brush. I then dabbed a bit of YSL Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer in 02 Rose Pearl with my fingertips across the tops of her cheekbones. I finished with shu uemura's Face Powder in Matte 5yr Light, applying it just to the center of the face with shu's Natural Brush 27.

EYES:
For eye shadow, I used YSL Fard Lumière Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands and Copper Brown and then layered Giorgio Armani Maestro Eye Shadow Quads in 02 Floral and 05 Desert with shu uemura Portable Natural Brush 10.
I wanted to keep the eyes very clean and really make them all about the lashes, so I applied Lancôme's new Ôscillation Powerbooster lash primer followed by Ôscillation Mascara in Black, which looked beautiful!

LIPS:
For lips, I used shu uemura Lip Drawing Pencil in PK 382 and then combined the Rouge Unlimited OR 531S lipstick with shu's gorgeous new Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipstick in OR 520. I gave this lipstick to Elisabeth for touch-ups throughout the night.

Lauren finished by telling us, "I'm so proud of Elisabeth for being nominated for 'Best Actress' in the company of Glenn Close and Sally Field, wow!"
