At Fair Game cocktail party hosted by Giorgio Armani in Cannes, Blunt wore Streicher's favorite lip hue. "I have been obsessing about the color and wearing it a lot myself," the makeup artist told us. "It's a great spring color - it's pink, but a young, fresh version that's flattering on almost everyone."

"I knew that a modern look based on '20s waves was the perfect complement to her gown." By adding the finishing touch - a diamond earring sewn along two criss-crossed bobby pins - Reeves made sure the retro updo had a one-of-a-kind vibe.

"Emily wanted smoky eyes paired with soft pink lips that echoed her Lorraine Schwartz ruby earrings," said the star's makeup artist Jenn Streicher of her Golden Globes look. After creating a smooth canvas, she defined Blunt's eyes with Hourglass's Kohl Eye Pencil in Espresso and smudged the line with a shadow brush. Picking up a pale shimmer shade from the Hourglass Shadow Duo in Gypsy, she highlighted the brow bone and blended the matte brown onto her lids.
