Not too long ago, Hollywood stars were completely off limits to the public. They were glamorous strangers to be admired from afar. These days, thanks to the miracle of social media, we can follow a celeb's every Tweet and like watch their daily Instagram stories. What's more, when it comes to awards season, we can follow their glam squad.
Styled by Elizabeth Saltzman, Saoirse Ronan wore a custom Gucci antique platinum gown to the 2019 Golden Globe Awards in California last night and while the actress herself is off social media, her beauty team are more than generous enough with their online presence to make up for it.
Makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua glammed the Carlow woman up on the night and she gave a step-by-step guide to the look on her Instagram profile.
She wrote: "Inspired by the simplicity of the Gucci gown with it’s sheer beaded veil of crystalline silvery stones, and all the skin, I started by featuring her complexion by moisturizing and blending out the foundation creating a satin like porcelain finish.
"I glammed up Saoirse’s look by dressing up her eyes with silver shimmery smoke and with bright fire red lips as an accessory to compliment her blue eyes and all the silvery tones."

Eyes:
- Chanel Long Lasting Eyeliner in Mat Taupe, lining along the entire upper lash line, slightly extending out the almond shape of her eyes and blending the edges.
- Chanel Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in 308 CLAIR-OBSCUR contouring with Illumine Highlight in the crease in towards the bridge of the nose.
- Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in 20, for more of a tinted deep brown (not heavy) lash look on top lashes.
- Finishing with Clair Light ( a shimmery copper shadow) on top and bottom lash lines to set the liner and softly bring out her almond eyes, extending out and up slightly past the lash line.
- To give her eyes a sparkle used my ring finger to apply a silvery highlight with Chanel Illusion d’Ombre in Fantasme.
Brows:
- Defining Long wear eyebrow pencil 806 blonde tendre, I used a lighter tone to create more definition for her naturally full brows.
Saoirse completed the look with "chic and sleek" hair styled by New York-based hairstylist Ben Skervin and a jaw-dropping pair of earrings from Chopard.
