The devil doesn't only wear Prada—she wears lipstick and mascara, too. We got the scoop on the film's gorgeous looks directly from Nicki Ledermann, the makeup department head and a 15-year veteran of the film industry. Ledermann used makeup to help develop the personality of Andrea, the lead character. "Andrea is this smart, natural-looking girl who just graduated college," says Ledermann. "She slowly learns a whole different world that she never thought she could be part of." Throughout the film, Ledermann subtly progressed the makeup from low-maintenance college girl to over the top fashionista, culminating in the scenes where Andrea is in Paris for fashion week. "In the Paris scenes, her look becomes very sophisticated, with hard eyeliner and red lips," says Ledermann. "Throughout the whole movie I avoided red lips because I wanted to save something special for the end." Here, how she created the look.
Ledermann mixed Make Up For Ever Face & Body Liquid Makeup in Ivory 20, $38, with moisturizer for an ultra sheer finish. She then applied Tarte Cheek Stain in Tickled Peach, $28, to the apples of Hathaway's cheeks.

To give the eyes an incandescent glow, Ledermann applied pearly white Stila Shadow Pot in Moon, $20, to the upper eyelids and lower lash line. She lined the upper lash line with Dior Crayon Eyeliner in Black, $23, and coated on lots of DiorShow Mascara in Black 090, $23. http://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/8278/20030812002803/www.sephora.com/assets/global/p.gifhttp://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/8278/20060612213213/www.sephora.com/assets/browse/tt/getLook/C14176_prod3.jpg

For a wearable red lip that doesn't overpower, Ledermann took a less is more approach, applying Benefit Benetint, $28, on the lips. She then dotted Dior Addict Lipstick in Positive Red 857, $23.50, just in the center of the lips and blended well with her fingers to create a matte, stained effect. http://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/8278/20030812002803/www.sephora.com/assets/global/p.gifhttp://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/8278/20060612213213/www.sephora.com/assets/browse/tt/getLook/C14176_prod6.jpg
