This year’s BAFTA awards were all about big wins. While Joanna Lumley of Absolutely Fabulous became the first female in 17 years to host the British Academy Film Awards, the event was lauded for its continued representation of Time’s Up movement. Celebs in all-black gowns lit the night, and also sported some stunning new hair and make-up looks based on contrasts. BAFTA red carpet was definitely reminiscent of Golden Globes, but did give us loads of new inspo.
Confining the looks to one colour did not stop stars from experimenting with their beauty looks. From an array of bold red lips to Anya Taylor-Joy’s crown, there was no shortage of creative hair and make-up on the red carpet. With so many stars going for a lob cut, it’s safe to declare that it is indeed the haircut of the season. And just to give you a heads up, BAFTA beauty looks will tempt you to wear red lips and air-dried wavy hair over and over again!
Here are a few beauty lessons we all can learn from the leading ladies at BAFTA.
1. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton wore heavier make-up than her usual—smokey eye with rosy cheeks, nude lips and her signature curls!
