Get the look - Marion Cotillard

French beauty Marion is big business in France and is about to take the international scene by storm after scooping a BAFTA and an Oscar! So we turn to her for the beauty look of the moment...

The French reputation for beauty-chic and elegance is not without reason. Simple, yet still glamorous, it's a beauty style that Marion Cotillard has most definitely mastered.

 

Skin

Marion has one of those freshly-pinched, milky complexions that radiate with rosiness and her foundation is almost undetectable. Her BAFTA appearance saw her sporting a warm, natural look that didn't detract from her fantastic feathery outfit. Whatever your complexion, getting matching make-up to skin is half the beauty-battle won so try something like True Match foundation from L'Oréal Paris, £8.99, which comes in 11 shades. It's an easy way of creating a perfectly clean canvas for the rest of the look.

Cheeks
Marion's cheeks are warm, dusky pink, nothing too stand-outish. It's like a hint of colour - flushed without looking blushed.  To achieve a natural look like this, use a pale peach or pinky blush such as Maybelline NY Dream Mousse Blush in Coral, £5.99. It's semi-sheer colour that just adds a breath of peach on cheeks and very on-trend for this season's new nude.

 

Eyes
Marion's naturally wide, gorgeous eyes are given added definition with chocolatey browns and mocha eye-shadows. Warm, shimmery shades like this can be found in the Penelope Star Secrets Hazel Eyes eye shadow trio set from L'Oréal Paris, £6.99, which can be used to rim eyes and highlight brow bones.

 

Marion's cheeks are warm. It's like a hint of colour - flushed without looking blushed...Add further definition by curling lashes and applying a few coats of mascara such as Define-A-Lash from Maybelline NY, £7.49, which has a unique brush that separates and lengthens lashes without a clump in sight.

 

Lips
Subtly shimmered lips in a warm, rosy colour complete this naturally chic, yet award winning look. Luckily, Marion has a naturally bee-stung lips, making her a beauty envy but do not despair, it's still possible to get the look. Outline lips lightly with a soft, almost unnoticeable lip liner like the Antic Rose from L'Oréal Paris and then fill in with a delicate gloss that just brings lips to life, such as Maybelline NY Watershine Elixir Liquid Lipcolour, £6.99.

 

Hair

Last but not least, Marion's hair is full of body and bounce. Blessed with deep, brunette tresses, she wears it wavy, curly or straight and looks elegant and chic in either. For this BAFTA style, the look is curly and cute. To recreate, always prep with smooth-enhancing, curl defining products. Try L'Oréal Paris Elvive Smooth-Intense shampoo and conditioner, to give hair a frizz-free start to styling. Before reaching for the tongs or rollers, make sure you coat hair with a curl boosting styling mousse, such as Garnier Fructis Curls & Shine Mousse, £2.99 to create smooth, defined and oh-so luscious curls. It's a trés chic look that's bound to be an award winner.
