If you’ve been binging the new season of Emily in Paris, you’ll likely have been mesmerised by Lily Collins’s many (many) bold beauty looks and, we can now reveal the exact products her make-up artist used for the character’s club look in episode four.
At the opening of Laurent’s new club towards the end of the episode, Collins sports a striking wash of green-blue eyeshadow and a bright lip. Speaking to IndyBest, the show’s lead make-up artist, Aurelie Payen, said: “It's one of my favorite looks because it's very strong and bold, and it's something that I've never done on her before.”
She added: “It was kind of something new, and it was a little bit challenging to see what would work the best and what we [Payen and hair stylist, Mike Desir] wanted to give at that moment. But it's one of my favorites.”
Speaking of this season’s make-up as a whole, Payen said that a standard Emily look would consist of black eyeliner and the bold lip but that this was something they tried to expand on.
“For Emily in Paris season four there’s plenty of different make-up,” Payen explained. “It’s kind of a mix between what I used to do [the eyeliner and lip in question] and more elevated looks, and there’s also very natural and minimalist makeup, too.”

Victoria Beckham beauty posh lipstick, pop: £37, Selfridges.com

So what were the products behind Emily’s statement look? “The lips were Victoria Beckham,” Payen reveals.
Beckham’s aptly named “posh” lipstick collection has been a best-seller since its launch in 2020 and, as for the shade in question, it was ‘POP’ that the make-up artist chose to complete the character’s pout. Described as a “cherry red”, the now Emily in Paris-credited lipstick is a seasonless staple that can be worn all-year-round and has a nourishing, balm-like texture.
Danessa Myricks Colorfix: £22, Cultbeauty.co.uk

As for the eyes, that’s where it gets more technical. Payen explains that the finished look included a number of different products by Danessa Myricks.
“She has Colorfix in different colours and, as a make-up artist we play with lots of colours, so we mixed colours together,” Payen said.
“To have a beautiful green we just mixed the blue and the yellow together – a mixture of everything.” The exact shades that were used include the Danessa Myricks beauty colorfix 24 hour cream colour in ‘metallic fireworks’ (£22, Cultbeauty.co.uk) and liquid metals 24K ‘yellow gold’ (£22, Cultbeauty.co.uk).
