If you’ve been binging the new season of Emily in Paris , you’ll likely have been mesmerised by Lily Collins ’s many ( many ) bold beauty looks and, we can now reveal the exact products her make-up artist used for the character’s club look in episode four. At the opening of Laurent’s new club towards the end of the episode, Collins sports a striking wash of green-blue eyeshadow and a bright lip. Speaking to IndyBest, the show’s lead make-up artist, Aurelie Payen , said: “It's one of my favorite looks because it's very strong and bold, and it's something that I've never done on her before.
” She added: “It was kind of something new, and it was a little bit challenging to see what would work the best and what we [Payen and hair stylist, Mike Desir] wanted to give at that moment. But it's one of my favorites.” Speaking of this season’s make-up as a whole, Payen said that a standard Emily look would consist of black eyeliner and the bold lip but that this was something they tried to expand on.
“This season there’s plenty of different make-up,” Payen explained. “It’s kind of a mix between what I used to do [the eyeliner and lip in question] and more elevated looks, and there’s also very natural and minimalist makeup, too.” If you’re looking for some dramatic make-up inspiration, keep reading for the exact products that were used to create Emily Cooper’s bold, club-ready look.
So what were the products behind Emily’s statement look? “The lips were Victoria Beckham ,” Payen reveals. Beckham’s aptly named “posh” lipstick collection has been a best-seller since its launch in 2020 and, as for the shade in question, it was ‘POP’ that the make-up artist chose to complete the character’s pout. Described as a “cherry red”, the lipstick is a seasonless staple that can be worn all-year-round and has a nourishing, balm-like texture.

“To have a beautiful green we just mixed the blue and the yellow together – a mixture of everything.” The exact shades that were used include the Danessa Myricks beauty colorfix 24 hour cream colour in ‘metallic fireworks’ (£22, Cultbeauty.co.
