“For Sarah‘s Critics’ Choice Awards look, we wanted to keep it really classy, but sexy with a little bit of a ’90s flair,” says celebrity makeup artist Denika Bedrossian of the Modern Family alum and presenter tonight. “We wanted a beautiful nude lip, so I used a natural lipstick and warm brown lip liner to create shape and warmth. I followed that with Grande Cosmetics GrandeLIPS Hydrating Lip Plumper in Toasted Apricot—a perfect peach.”

Celebrity makeup artist Tonya Brewer gave Hudson glowy, rosy glam using Chantecaille’s brand-new limited-edition Spring Wild Meadows Collection. “The fresh spring tones were exactly what I needed to achieve Kate’s glam moment,” Brewer says. “With her film [Glass Onion] being nominated, we wanted a timeless look that we would look back on and love.”
On Hudson’s lips, Brewer used four products: best-selling Lip Potion, Lip Definer in Natural (a natural beige with a hint of pink), the new Wild Meadows Lip Chic in Meadow (a flattering peachy nude), and Brilliant Gloss in Modern, a shimmery beige.

The House of the Dragon star and nominee for nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series also donned Charlotte Tilbury on the red carpet, with a peachy spin on the nude lip created by celebrity makeup artist Misha Shahzada. “Milly’s dress was ethereal, so we wanted to include a bit of rock ‘n’ roll on the eyes,” she says. “The rest of the face we kept super radiant and simple to serve as an extension of the dress.” The iconic Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk and K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Bitch Perfect, a peachy-nude, were used on the lips.
