Whether she’s playing an ice queen who’s hotter than hell or a pedigreed yet conniving Midwestern wife, Rosamund Pike’s red carpet style is every bit sophisticated Hollywood glamour. At the New York City premiere of Gone Girl, the pleasantly pregnant star was glowing—and not just because of her latest curve. Simple and chic, recreating Pike’s signature style takes little more than the right shade of rouge, perfectly coifed locks and a killer attitude.

>> Start with clean, damp hair. Spray Normant Styling Spray, or a similar product, from root to tip. Create a center part and thoroughly blow-dry your hair.
>> Section off the front and divide the rest of your hair in three horizontal ponytails. Twist and pin the three mini ponytails into messy buns.
>> Next, focus on the front section and comb it back with a fine-toothed comb, creating a slick and smooth aesthetic. Pin back into the messy buns for a seamless transition. Complete Pike’s ’do with Leonor Greyl’s Light to Medium-hold Hair Spray or a similar product to hold hair in place.

>> A bit unorthodox, start by mixing Tom Ford’s Traceless Foundation with Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation, using a damp makeup sponge. Take a clean sponge and blend the foundation in an outward motion, starting in the center of your face and working your way out.
>> Using one of the best concealers on the market, Cle de Peau, repeat the same process as with your foundation by mixing the concealer with another HD concealer. It will cover up even the most dramatic undereye circles while adding a brightness that replicates Pike’s natural glow.
>> Apply an all-over face powder to help set the liquid foundation. You can use your go-to mineral powder; I prefer Bare Minerals for its translucent appearance on the skin.
>> Now that your base is set, add a little color with Sisley’s Phyto-Touche Illusion d’ÉtÉ Bronzer. To get the most natural look, focus on your cheekbones, forehead and neckline—places where the sun would bronze your face naturally.
>> Finish your face with Physicians Formula Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blush in Rose to get Pike’s radiant cheeks.
>> Define your eyes with Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Trio in Warm Nude. Using a heavy hand, apply the liner on the top lid. Next, use a cream eyeshadow to smudge the liner for a softening effect. Apply a layer of liner to the lower lid and complete the look with two coats of jet black, lash-lengthening mascara. Try Makeup Professionals mascara for a faux lash look.
>> Last but not least, Chanel’s LÈvres Scintillantes Glossimer and Votre Vu Dramatic Lip Liner in Spark will give you Pike’s berry beautiful lips.
