Sarah Pidgeon arrived at the Actor Awards (previously known as the SAG Awards) in Los Angeles on March 1 in a look that had InStyle slack channels abuzz.
Proving that less can be so much more when it comes to red carpet beauty, Pidgeon sported a no-makeup makeup look. For her pared-back glam, Pidgeon’s makeup artist Emily Cheng deployed the device anyone seeking a snatched jawline has probably considered splurging on at some point. The sculpting wizardry in question? The ultra luxurious NuFace Trinity+ Complete Set.
Speaking to InStyle, Cheng shared: “Pre-makeup sculpt is so important because facial structure is what we’re always trying to enhance, and when the face is already lifted, we need a lot less contour to achieve the look we’re going for.”
As the Rolls-Royce of sculpting microcurrent skin care sets (this retails for an eye-watering $595), contents include: the microcurrent device, a wrinkle reducer attachment, a lip and eye attachment, an aqua gel activator, a silk crème activator, and a clean-sweep applicator brush.

“The vision for the makeup is minimal romance to complement the soft pink hue of her dress,” Cheng shared of Pidgeon’s pretty-in-pink look. While Pidgeon might not be up for any official awards tonight, she wins one of the evening’s most memorable beauty looks in our books.

For the actress’s first-ever appearance at the Actor Awards, she’s donning a strapless blush pink gown from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection for Balenciaga and earrings from Rahaminov Diamonds. Currently portraying Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on FX’s Love Story, it’s fitting that her look tonight should be so iconic and romantic.
