Inside Helen Mirren's stunning SAG Awards beauty look

Helen Mirren never fails to disappoint on the red carpet. The 75-year-old actress manages to slay any look, whether it be a bold lip, smokey eyeliner or elegant updo. And while the 2021 SAG Awards were held online this year, she still pulled out all the stops; not once, but twice.
For her first look in a long sleeve, floor-length red dress, her makeup artist Jo Strettel prepped her skin "with L’Oréal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Sunscreen, Fragrance-Free Moisturizer and Age Perfect rosy tone eye brightener" — the Australian equivelant of which would be the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Golden Age Rosy Day Cream SPF 15 and L'Oréal Paris Golden Age Rosy Eye Cream.
Helen is an ambassador for L'Oréal and so it makes sense that she would use the products she's an advocate for. Nevertheless, we still love to see what goes on behind the beauty scenes and one product that stole our attention was the foundation used for her glowing base.
"Using the Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation in ‘Natural Buff’ I placed all over face, neck and ears and buffed into skin using a buffing foundation brush to get a flawless, light and natural looking skin", her makeup artist Jo wrote on Instagram.
Serum foundations have been launching left, right and centre in 2021, but it seems this golden tube of goodness is yet to hit the Aussie shelves. It currently retails for $15.99 in the U.S., which would make it roughly $21 here in Australia — not bad for a base hybrid that contains vitamin B3 and promises all-day hydration with a radiant finish.
Here's hoping it makes it here soon, as it sounds delightful! In the meantime, if you like the sound of skin care-infused foundations, check out Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF20 and Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Skincaring Foundation.
For Helen's second look, she switched to this gorgeous pink and red Badgley Mischka number. Jo kept her makeup similar, mainly switching out the nude lip from look one to a brighter berry hue.
We honestly can't decide which look is our favourite!

My names are Ashley Vivian, Am here to share a testimony on how Dr Raypower helped me. After a 1/5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time. He stopped answering my calls and my sms and he stopped seeing me regularly. I then started catching him with different girls several times but every time he would say that he loved me and that he needed some time to think about our relationship. But I couldn't stop thinking about him so I decided to go online and I saw so many good talks about this spell caster called Dr Raypower and I contacted him and explained my problems to him. He cast a love spell for me which i use and after 24 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and started contacting me regularly and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends. We eventually got married and we now have been married happily for 3 years with a son. Ever since Dr Raypower helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. You can also contact this spell caster and get your relationship fix Email: urgentspellcast@gmail.com or urgentspellcast@yahoo.com see more reviews about him on his website: https://urgentspellcast.wordpress.com/ WhatsApp: +1 (424) 330-8109.

I love that she always looks stunning, and never gives the impression she's trying to hide her age.

Saw her in a recent youtube video. She can bend down and touch her toes with straight legs. Wow! I can't do that. For 75 she is amazing.
