Nick Barose’s client roster is a who’s-who of gorgeous It Girls — Lupita Nyong’o, Tessa Thompson, Zoë Kravitz, Brie Larson — but we especially lovewhen he collaborates with Gugu Mbatha-Raw. And we really love it when he gives us a glimpse at their behind-the-scenes glam time, as he did for Friday’s NAACP Awards.

The star’s slinky marigold Narciso Rodriguez gown brought out “her golden complexion,” so Barose “kept the makeup fresh and springy, glamorous but laid back. Like spring came early!,” he tells PeopleStyle. “I kept skin fresh, slightly sunkissed and with coral stained on cheeks and lips, with a golden wash on the eyes and a simple eyeliner.”

Barose shared some photos from the day, including “our pretty set up with yellow daffodils to keep with the yellow dress theme!” he says. Key to her look was making sure her complexion shone on its own. “I just always make sure whatever look it stays fresh and the gorgeous golden skin is showing through, even when we go for dramatic look,” he says of their beauty objective.
He gave a glimpse of the Chanel products he used to create her gorgeous glow including the brand’s Hydra Beauty Gel Crème, Perfection Lumière Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup in 60 Beige, Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour in No. 40, Sunkiss Ribbon Blush and Soleil Tan de Chanel to illuminate her cheekbones and collarbones.

The two have been collaborating since 2013, when “I started working with her for press with her movie Belle few years ago and continued working with her for other red carpet events, including the Met Gala, premieres and magazine covers,” Barose tells PeopleStyle. That means he knows he’s in store for a delicious cuppa whenever they team up for events: “Gugu is always so sweet to always offer us tea throughout the getting ready process,” he says. “She’s British so she makes really good, yummy tea!”
That means he also is accustomed to working with her stylist, Christina Ehrlich, to get Gugu red-carpet gorgeous. “We looked at the dress and accessories with Cristina,” he says. “For this look we were all on the same page to keep the makeup look fresh, with a pop of coral stain but making sure the makeup is not overly bright, so it’s not competing with the yellow in the dress or the blue turquoise details in the [Irene Neuwirth] accessories.”

The pops of coral were key to accentuating her “gorgeous features,” and Barose says his technique is so simple that any girl could recreate it at home: “It’s such an easy way to add color to the face,” he explains. “I layered the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Stick in No. 22 by blending it on the apples of cheek, then dusted the coral tone powder blush with a slight shimmer on it on top. This helps make the cheek long wearing.”
Her “sheer kiss of color and shine” on her lips came courtesy of the brand’sRouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in Article, “applied the color directly from tube to the lip and then sketched the soft nude tone lip pencil along the edges to define the shape but keep it soft,” he says. “The beauty of this look is that there are no harsh, perfect lines, so it’s easy to recreate!”
COURTESY NICK BARROSE
The star got a check near natural light to make sure she was all set (“if it looks good in daylight, it will look good in any light,” Barose explains). And with that, Mbatha-Raw (who was nominated Friday night for her role in Concussion, and who will be seen up next in Free State of Jones opposite Matthew McConaughey) was ready for a last look before heading on her way.
What do you think of her look? Will you try it at home?

And it was no surprise to see Viola grace the cover, as the star is riding high following Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award wins for her work as Annalise Keating on ABC smash hit How to Get Away with Murder.
She looked elegant in a long-sleeved evening gown, as her raven tresses were worn in a center part and styled in vintage, barrel curls.
'Since they’re all different in age, shape, style, and personality, I didn’t want to do anything that unified them in silhouette,' Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director, Jessica Diehl explained of the shoot. 'I didn’t want to put them all in slinky dresses, because that felt not personal.'
Moving beyond the main fold of the cover, the spread featured Charlotte, Rachel Weisz, Lupita Nyong'o, Brie Larson, Alicia, Gugu, Helen Mirren, Saoirse Ronan, and Diane Keaton.
Charlotte, 69 - who posed in a long-sleeved, sequined number with a slit up the thigh - has been recognized with an Oscar nod for her work in 45 Years.

Brie - who has nabbed a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Critics' Choice Award for her performance in Room - lay sprawled on the ground in a dazzling, sequined dress with a low-cut front.
The blonde beauty, 26, will be vying for the Oscar against fellow cover girls Cate, Charlotte, Jennifer, and Saoirse.
In-demand actress Lupita, 32, who modeled an off-the-shoulder gown, has had quite the year, voicing Maz Kanata in the record-breaking Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
The star - who looked sophisticated accessorizing with diamond earrings - also voiced a character in Disney's upcoming live action reboot of The Jungle Book, as well as worked on drama Queen of Katwe and Broadway's Eclipsed.
Alicia has had quite the year herself, earning acclaim for her work in The Danish Girl as well as Ex Machina along with a Screen Actors Guild Award and Critics' Choice Award for the former.
The 27-year-old wore a three-quarter-length sleeve shimmery gown with a thigh-high slit to show off her toned pins as she sat between Rachel and Helen.
Gugu, known for her work in critically-acclaimed films Belle and Beyond the Lights, showed off her natural beauty with simple make-up and a sophisticated, strapless gown.
The 32-year-old - next set to appear in Disney's star-studded live reboot of Beauty and the Beast - rested her hand on Helen in the dramatic shot.
The Woman in Gold star, 70, was striking in a flowing, ball gown with cap sleeves and a low-cut neckline.
She stood beside Diane, also 70, who showed off her signature style in a trendy coat, leather boots, a wide-brimmed hat, and a patterned scarf.
The Finding Dory star - also set to appear in TV series The Young Pope - showed off a wide, open-mouthed grin, the only smile on this year's cover.
Irish beauty Saoirse, 21, modeled a spaghetti strap number with a sheer cape and textured skirt as she sat beside Helen and Diane.
