Laura Dern was a vision in white at the 90th annual Academy Awards. From her deep side part and curls to her soft pink lip, she was reminiscent of a modern Veronica Lake. Makeup artist Simone Almekias-Siegl for Marc Jacobs Beauty drew inspiration from old Hollywood glamour, and you can recreate the look at home by following these steps.

Prime Time: Prep the skin with the (Under)cover Perfecting Coconut Face Primer on your T-zone.

Cover and Conceal: To even out your complexion, apply Shameless Youthful-Look 24H Foundation SPF 25 with The Seamless–Liqu id Foundation Brush No. 4. Use Re(marc)able Full Cover Concealer to cover up any dark areas under the eyes and apply it to the eyelid to brighten and create a smooth canvas.

You Glow, Girl!: To give your face depth, brush the O!Mega Bronzer Perfect Tan in Tantric onto your temples, a little on the nose, and along the cheek contour and chin. Use Air Blush Soft Glow Duo in Kink & Kisses on your cheeks to add extra freshness and dab on Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator in Spotlight above the blush for a subtle highlight. To create natural brightness, apply Remedy Concealer Pen under the eye and on the inner corner of the eye, smile lines and between the brows. To set your complexion, brush a light coat of Perfection Powder–Featherweight Finish onto your T-zone and eyelids.

S(teal)ing the Show: Use Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette in Smartorial. Start with the matte nude shade ‘Whenever’ all over your lid, and then apply the teal ‘For Once’ on the outer crease and lower lash line. Finish with the shimmering light brown ‘They Know Who’ for a little pop. Next, line your upper eye with Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Co(vert), a deep evergreen. For the finishing touch, apply Feather Noir Ultra-Skinny Lash Discovering Mascara on the lower lashes and Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara on top for some glam.

Nearly Nude: To shape your lips and prevent feathering, apply Poutliner Longwear Lip Liner Pencil in Invisible. For the perfect pink-nude color, mix Poutliner Longwear Lip Liner Pencil in Honey(bun) and Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in Sonic Truth.

Kissed with Mist: Spray Re(cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist into your hands and press lightly on your skin to get the ultimate glow.
