Meet Hollywood’s New Breakout Beauty and Her Gorgeous, Glowing Makeup Look

There’s a new “It” girl on the scene, and her name is Gugu Mbatha-Raw. After a series of supporting roles, the English actress has scored her first lead in the historical drama Belle — and we have a hunch she’s about to become a big deal in Hollywood. Exhibit A: She’s been working with makeup artist Nick Barose, the talent behind Lupita Nyong’o’s red carpet season beauty statements. We got the details on how he created Gugu’s fresh, glowing look for the New York premiere of Belle last night.

Get the look with these picks:

    Moisturizer

    “Since the weather’s getting warmer, I used Juara’s Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer to keep the skin from turning oily on the red carpet,” Barose says. “I massaged it into her skin thoroughly using my fingertips and let it absorb. Even though the product is great at controlling oils, it still leaves the skin supple and creates the perfect canvas for makeup.”
