Laini Reeves (seen left, putting the finishing touches on Blunt’s chignon) says she and makeup artist Jenn Streicher “never want to take away from the dress, or add to much.” That said, the perfect complement to Blunt’s neckline was an updo accessorized with a glimmering barrette.

Hairstylist Sunnie Brook says the actress’s squad “decided to create a soft wave that had fullness that would compliment the dress.”

Her Pro’s Hero Products:

“I had colored Elisabeth’s hair the night before and really wanted it to look healthy and soft on such an important day. So I started her look with Biolage All-In-One Coconut Infusion Multi-Benefit Spray to damp hair to add shine and heat protection.” After blowing out her hair, she gave it a spritz of Biolage hairspray, applied Virtue Lifting Powder to the crown and sides, and finished the look with just a spritz of Serge Normant Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray.

Hairstylist Nai’Vasha Johnson molded Shahidi’s “glorious natural texture” into “a bold and brilliant shape to play on the whimsy of the gown.”

Brie’s bow cape dictated that the makeup be “strong, yet minimal and graphic,” explains her pro Quinn Murphy.

Her Pro’s Hero Products:

After prepping her skin with L’Occitane Oil (Murphy’s “favorite product building the natural highlights.”), he played up her brows using Koh Gen Do’s Maifanshi Eyebrow Pencil in Brown. “The tip is very fine and you can paint on hairs that look so believable.” Koh Gen Do mascara “anchored the eye and brought balance to the black liner.” Lastly, for the lip, Murphy “wanted something natural but not nude,” so he opted for this coral berry shade.

Behind the Style:

“With Lucy’s dress being totally feminine, I wanted to punk and edge it all up,” says makeup artist Jo Baker, who adds that a given the details on Boynton’s dress, she also wanted to keep the look to be simple. “There’s something romantic and gothic going on with this dress so [hairstylist] Jenny Cho and I wanted to pull the darkness into both hair and makeup.”

Her Pro’s Hero Products:

Baker’s essentials included “Victoria’s Secret Major Lashes Full Volume Mascarafor an extended dramatic lash, Chanel Calligraphie De Chanel Cream Eyeliner in Hyperblack and Victoria’s Secret Velvet Matte Cream Liquid Lip in Love. It’s the perfect soft buildable lip pigment in a crushed pink rose tone! I’m obsessed with it!”

Her Pro’s Hero Products:
