At this year’s awards, the majority of stars kept their makeup simple. And while several stars including Helen Mirren, Priyanka Chopra, Olivia Colman and Zoe Kravitz went for a bold red lip, the majority opted for a studding nude lip.

Furthermore, celebs seemed to have a penchant for one nude lipstick in particular: Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk.

Why, you ask? The matte nude has a velvety texture with pink undertones, which flatters all skin tones and lasts up to six hours.
