Celebrity makeup artist Liz Pugh recently shared British beauty Alexa Chung's behind the scenes secrets, as they got ready for the British Fashion Council Awards.

Explaining the look Liz said, "Tonight I wanted to go for a soft pretty eye with Bambi lashes to complement. It was all about fresh glowing skin, defined eyes and a strong lip."

"Alexa is such a natural beauty, with those gorgeous eyes, I decided on a bright lip to work with the dress, a real pillarbox red to work with that fabulous silver dress," Pugh said. "We decided on a softer eye than normal - we know and love the Alexa kitten flick, but wanted to do something a little different."

Here's how to get the look straight from Liz Pugh:

To start Liz gave the skin a glow using a mix of serums and moisturizers and added a little concealer where it was needed to even out the skin.

"Next I applied a sweep of Eyeko Me & My Shadow in Chocolate ($19) along the top lashline, bringing it out to accentuate Alexa's gorgeous almond shape eyes," the pro explained. "I added a little definition along the lower lashline blending it to join the top line."

"Then I added the Eyeko Making Eyes Automatic Gel Liner in Pitch Black ($24) so close to the top lashline it became part of the lashes, this way it accentuates the eyes without looking like a liner."

Liz then chose a lighter champagne shade, Eyeko Me & My Shadow in Taupe ($19) - on the lid, using her finger to blend, giving a soft pretty sheen.

"I love Me & My Shadow because it's an all-in-one product that you can travel with. This is an easy-to-use crayon with a brush to blend," Alexa said herself. 

"I next filled in the brows using the Eyeko Brow Liner ($24) and brushed them into shape with the Brow Gel," Pugh said. "The Brow Gel is fantastic for making the brows stay in place without stiffening or flaking - perfect for red carpet events."

The lashes were a crucial part of this look, so Liz curled the lashes as always and then applied Eyeko Eye Do Mascara ($26) to the top and bottom lashes.

"It's the blackest black which never looks dusty grey in pictures and it stays put- perfect for red carpet," Liz said. "Then for added effect I used Alexa's favorite corner lashes from the Eyeko Lash Wardrobe ($22)."

"To finish off and add a pop of colour to contrast the eyes, I gave the cheeks a pretty glow using Tom Ford Cheek Colour in Flush ($57) and used Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red ($26) on the lips."
