The Scoop on Pauline Chalamet's French-Inspired "The Devil Wears Prada 2" Glam

As if you needed any more reason to love Pauline Chalamet, turns out she will also be appearing in one of the most anticipated movies of the year: "The Devil Wears Prada 2." While her "Sex Lives of College Girls" days might be over, the actor has translated that effortless cool-girl style to her latest project, and it was most evident when she stepped out onto the carpet at the premiere in New York City on April 20.

Her lit-from-within glow was courtesy of makeup artist Lisa Aharon and legendary French beauty brand, Lancôme. Aharon was kind enough to share all the behind-the-scenes details with Popsugar — from the skin prep she used to create the perfect base for makeup to the exact eyeshadow and blush she dug into for this look.

"[Chalamet's] black Honor NYC silky dress with subtle black floral detailing felt sleek but still romantic, so the makeup followed that lead," Aharon says. "We kept her skin fresh and light and let the eye pick up a bit of that darker edge from the gown."

First, the inspiration for the night:

For starters, Aharon says that flawless makeup application starts with the right base. To keep Chalamet's skin hydrated and smooth, she used Lancôme's Absolue Longevity MD Anticipate The Cream ($155). She then went in with the brand's La Base Pro Face and Makeup Primer ($45). But the real secret to her all-over glow? The brand's Nutrix Royal Body Butter ($54), which she used on her arms, chest, and décolletage to add radiance to the skin.

"One detail people might not notice [is] the subtle dimension in her skin," Aharon says. "Nothing heavy, just soft shaping and glow in the right places. It makes such a difference without ever looking obvious."

To create an airbrushed base that still felt skin-like, Aharon used the Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation ($53) in the shade 235N along with the Ultra Wear All Over Concealer ($32) in 215 Buff Neutral. To add even more dimension to the rosiness of this look, she then added the Subtil Powder Blush ($34) in Ôh La La on the cheeks. To set her entire base, Aharon locked it all in with Fix It Forget It Setting Spray ($38).

Chalamet's soft mauve-rose eye was simple and elegant. Aharon wanted to complement Chalamet's eye shape with an easy, but dimensional shadow here. She framed her eyes with the Idôle Tint Eyeshadow ($30) in Rich Espresso and then tapped the shade Cocoa Macchiato into the inner corners to brighten and open up the eye area.

To give the look a sultry effect, she then used Le Stylo Waterproof Liner ($29) in the shade Noir Intense along the waterline on the top and bottom of the eyes, extending the wing slightly for a little definition to the eye that still felt soft. To lift, curl, and define Chalamet's lashes, a few swipes of Lash Idôle Curl Goddess Mascara ($30) did the trick.

Finally, on the lips, the exact rosy-mauve shade of L'Absolu Rouge Intimatte Lipstick ($35) that Aharon used was 340 Love Whispers. The final secret, though? Lip Idôle Butterglow ($32) in Pink Ôh La La was also used to make the wear more comfortable, blurred, and modern. It also tied the whole look together without looking overdone.
