Celebrity makeup artist Kelly Cornwell worked with Alicia Vikander for the 2026 BAFTAs, turning to ALLEVEN to create a flawless, luminous base. Skin prep began with ALLEVEN Total Face Serum, an intensive rejuvenating booster designed to smooth and plump while delivering hydration that sits beautifully under makeup. The texture melts into the skin, creating that supple base every red carpet look needs.

Once the complexion was perfected, Cornwell added ALLEVEN Instant Glow in Bronze “to highlight Alicia’s features and give that extra glow.” The effect was subtle but strategic catching light on the high points of the face so her natural bone structure remained defined and radiant.
But the real red carpet secret was below the neckline.
With so much exposed skin from her Louis Vuitton look, consistency was key. Cornwell prepped Alicia from the neck down using ALLEVEN Transforming Body Lotion before applying ALLEVEN Colour Shield in Sand to even out tone and create a smooth, velvety finish. To elevate the effect, she mixed Instant Glow with Colour Shield directly on a palette, sweeping it across Alicia’s arms, back, and chest using a large brush. The result was unified, luminous skin that looked perfected in motion.
Finally, Instant Glow was tapped onto the cheeks and bridge of the nose to tie everything together.
Founded by former supermodel Celia Forner, ALLEVEN has become a Hollywood staple for good reason. Its Colour Shield Body and Face formulas are transfer-resistant, long-wearing, and designed to deliver instant payoff while still offering skincare benefits.
On a night built for close-ups, Alicia’s glow was camera-ready from every angle.
