Saoirse Ronan

After lining Ronan’s lips with CHANEL Le Crayon Lèvres in Beige Innocent, celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua followed with a sheer wash of CHANEL Baume Essentiel in Golden Light ($45).

Joey King

Celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendano lined King’s lips with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Maniac ($21) for definition, then dabbed on Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Ex-Girlfriend ($19) all over the lips “to give her a natural lip toned pout.”

To create the Big Little Lies star’s nude lip, celebrity makeup artist Simone Siegl combined the Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Lip Pencil in 4 ($30) with the brand’s Rouge D’Armani Matte Lipstick in 503 ($38). 

Lucy Boynton 

“As I wanted the focus on the eyes, I was hoping to make the lips disappear with a flushed powdery pink,” says Boynton’s makeup artist Jo Baker. “I applied CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue in Merry Rose ($38), which did the trick to perfection!”

Karen Pittman

Celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo used a couple of coats of Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon in Trust Your Gut ($9.50) to perfect The Morning Show star’s nude pout.

For a glossy finish, Holm used BUXOM Cosmetics Full-On Plumping Lip Cream ($21) in White Russian.
