Nicola Coughlan only wore 7 makeup products to the SAG Awards

We could never

Beauty Crew Beauty Editor / February 24 2025

Nicola Coughlan's makeup bag is full of viral products, and her Bridgerton costume isn't complete without a full face of luxury makeup and skin care, but her glam squad decided to pare things back for the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The two-time SAG Award nominee wore just seven makeup products (yep, you read that correctly) for the glamorous event, and still managed to upstage most of the other attendees. 

To compliment the juxtaposition of the 38 year old's custom Dior ballroom gown and leather gloves, celebrity makeup artist Adam Breuchard, used a curated kit of Charlotte Tilbury products to create a modern take on old Hollywood glam.

The exact makeup products Nicola Coughlan wore to the SAG Awards

This isn't the first time we've spotted a celebrity wearing a full face of Charlotte Tilbury this awards season — Demi Moore's glow on the BAFTAs red carpet was the result of a rigorous skin care regimen and the Hollywood-inspired makeup brand. 

However, unlike Moore's makeup look, which featured well over 20 products  including everyone's favourite pinky-nude lipstick 'Pillow Talk' and Charlotte Tilbury's viral Hollywood Flawless Filter — Coughlan's makeup required a little less kit and effort.

Personally, we think the fact that her skin care routine is almost exclusively made up of Tatcha products might have something to do with her makeup artist being able to work with such a curated makeup kit. Because, we kid you not, Breuchard didn't even use foundation on her. Instead, he applied Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir ($123 from Charlotte Tilbury) and 
Charlotte's Magic Water Cream ($149 from Charlotte Tilbury) to prep Couglan's skin. Then he created an airbrushed and perfected complexion with the Hollywood Flawless Filter ($70 from Charlotte Tilbury).

Breuchard used one of Tilbury's now discontinued matte blush wands on the actress, but we're just as fond of the brand's Beauty Light Wands if you're after something with a similar skin-like finish.

Then for our favourite part of the look — the eye makeup — Breuchard blended Tilbury's Classic Eyeliner Pencil in the shades 'Classic Brown' and 'Black' ($40 from Charlotte Tilbury) outwards towards Coughlan's temples to create a wing that was simultaneously soft and exaggerated. To finish, Coughlan applied a healthy layer of Charlotte Tilbury's K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in the Audrey Hepburn-inspired shade 'Yes Honey' ($54 from Charlotte Tilbury), and Beuchard misted her makeup with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray ($54 from Charlotte Tilbury).

Regardless of whether she's on a red carpet or not, Coughlan's hair always looks lush and healthy. These are the exact products Nicola Coughlan uses on her hair.
