Emma Stone worked with makeup artist and NARS Director Rachel Goodwin to recreate 1930s Hollywood glamour. "Her makeup was inspired by the romantic paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti," says Goodwin. Copy her burgundy lip using NARS Audacious Lipstick in Mona.

Janelle Monae paired bronzed skin with a peach-toned lip. “I wanted to keep Janelle’s lip look soft," said her makeup artist Jessica Smalls, who used CoverGirl LipPerfection Liner in Smoky and All Day Color & Gloss in Profound Peach.

“I was inspired by Scarlett’s Alaïa dress with the beautiful shades of pink, magenta and green," says Johansson's makeup artist Frankie Boyd. "Her makeup look is clean, beautiful and not too overdone.” He used NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Get Off for her pink-y lip.

“Ava [DuVernay] just got back from filming on location in New Zealand; her skin has a healthy, sun-kissed glow," says makeup artist Uzo. "I wanted to emphasize this warmth in her complexion while keeping the makeup simple with a classic smokey eye, and lips and cheeks in muted shades of plum and rose.” Try NARS Velvet Shadow Stick in Filbuste and Velvet Lip Glide in Bound.

The inspiration for Brie Larson's look was "the strong, vibrant and empowered women that were often featured in Helmut Newton’s photography," says her makeup artist Rachel Goodwin, who used NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Famous Red to create Brie's bold lip.
