This year's beauty poster girl? Lucy Boynton – without a doubt. When it comes to the red carpet, no one has turned heads in 2019 quite like the British-American actress. Onlookers may have fallen for her portrayal of Mary Austin in the biographical Bohemian Rhapsody, or in her leading role as Astrid Sloan in The Politician, but Boynton’s star continues to shine off the screen. Dressed by Bazaar's style director-at-large Leith Clark, Boynton takes a fearless approach to fashion, in surprising ensembles that are mirrored by her make-up. The look is experimental, while maintaining an elegance. Isn’t that the holy grail?

Here, her inspiring make-up artist Jo Baker explains the key to striking this balance, and how we can channel Boynton’s beauty approach this looming party season.
