At the premiere for her film Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Keira showed off a timeless makeup look using a standout orange-red lip colour.

This is a classic look for a reason – it looks pretty and polished without involving a whole lot of effort. Instead of spending hours on eyeshadow or complicated contouring, you can use a vibrant lip to pull the whole thing together and be out the door in a flash.

Keira’s makeup artist Lisa Eldridge spilled the details on how she created this gorgeous look on her website. Here’s what you need to know:

EYES: Lisa used a pinkish-champagne shimmery eyeshadow on the eyes (Chanel Illusion D’Ombres in New Moon) and a black liquid eyeliner to create a cat eye effect.

She also used a black eyeliner pencil to tightline the upper and lower waterline, finishing everything off with plenty of mascara.

LIPS: For the focal point of the whole look, Lisa used a lip pencil first (Le Crayon Levres in Orange Intense from Chanel) and then a bright red lipstick over the top (Chanel Rouge Allure Intense in Incandescente).
