Getting a sneak peek at Lupita Nyong’o’s closet is a Marvel-level-dreamed-up fantasy for most. But, for makeup artist Nick Barose, it’s a reality. Nyong’o’s stylist Micaela Erlanger showed Barose the beautiful rainbow dress by designer Alfredo Martinez which inspired him to create a fresh face with a pop of berry lips to kickstart her Black Panther: Wakanda Forever press tour at Comic-Con this past Sunday. “It’s all in the skin glow with soft smoky, plummy eyes,” Barose tells ELLE.com.

“We used Lancôme Hypnôse Eyeshadow Palette in Reflet d’Amethyst, our favorite plummy-toned palette this summer, which is a good alternative for warmer seasons because it’s not too dark like black or brown would be, and it pairs well with bright colors.”

Barose began planning the glam weeks ago and even plotted to incorporate some easter eggs for the film’s plot with purple and violet tones that have significance in the upcoming release. (No spoilers!)
