The secrets of red-carpet beauty will never fail to interest us - from buzzy skincare gadgets and lasers to pre-event facials and celebrity make-up artist tips. But there's something especially notable about the beauty products tailored to mature skin, especially when they're loved by an icon as timeless as Jamie Lee Curtis.

The actress attended the SAG Awards this weekend, looking elegant in a statement shimmering black dress laden with feathers. But that wasn't the only thing that caught our attention; Curtis' beautifully soft make-up had an undeniably lit-from-within finish. With a bit of sleuthing, we found the exact products that were used to create the Everything Everywhere All At Once actress' beauty look, including the blurring and smoothing primer which served as the canvas for her make-up.

Curtis' make-up artist Grace Ahn shared the skincare prep she used on the star before she attended the event. The brand responsible for the actress' glow was Kat Burki, a red-carpet favourite called upon by many a celebrity make-up artist for their client's event prep.

"Jamie Lee Curtis’ make-up look always focuses on naturally radiant skin, which is why skin prep is so important to me", Ahn wrote on Instagram.

To start, she applied the Kat Burki VitaBiome™ Active Skin Optimizer to hydrate, before moisture 'sandwiching' Curtis' skin with the Form Control Marine Collagen Gel and Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream to "create the perfect moisturised base". Ahn then went in with the star product, Kat Burki's Silk Protein Primer, which she applied "under the eyes and across the T-zone to blur and smooth the skin for a flawless makeup application".

"Prepping with these products not only ensured her make-up went on seamlessly but also kept Jamie’s skin hydrated, supple, and glowing all day and night", she added.

It's no wonder that this primer is a red-carpet favourite; the formula is packed full of skin-enriching ingredients, including silk amino acid, grapefruit seed oil, Irish sea moss and algae bioferment, helping to deliver an immediate smoothing effect to the skin while also improving its texture and appearance over time.
