Before hitting the red carpet for tonight’s Golden Globes, Lupita Nyong’o shared a teaser of her awards-show look on Instagram—applying a particularly glossy shade of bright Lancôme pink lipstick (Color Design in Hit List topped by a layer of soon-to-be-released Shine Lover) to match her famously luminous complexion. Watching the red-carpet risk-taker mouth the words to **Diana Ross’**s “The Boss” between swipes of bold pigment offered a playful reminder of one oft-overlooked black-tie beauty rule: Sometimes the getting ready can be the best part of a big night out. ​​
