Though she didn’t take home the golden popcorn for her Twelve Years A Slave peformance at last night’s MTV Movie Awards (that honor went to Jennifer Lawrence), Lupita Nyong’o was certainly winning in the Most Glamorous Makeup Category.  Lancôme’s newest ambassadress, shined in “sparkly, disco-inspired” eyes by her go-to genius makeup artist Nick Barose. 

Here’s a rundown of the products Barose used to create the look (all Lancôme, of course).

For the silver-sparkly eye…
Color Design Infinité 24H in Unlimited Silver
Color Design Eye Shadow in All That Glitters
Artliner 24H Eyeliner in Black Diamond
Hypnôse Custom Volume Mascara in Deep Black

To mimic that flawlessly even complexion…
Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation in 550 Suede (Editor’s Note: Lancome foundations come in a number of perfectly matching brown-girl shades.)
Maquicomplet Concealer in Deep Suede
Dual Finish Powder in 560 Suede
Blush Subtil in Shimmer Tamarind
Star Bronzer Palette from Lancôme’s Summer 2014 Collection
