When she's not playing the stealthy Penelope Featherington on Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan's makeup looks serve as serious beauty inspo. Her signature beauty styles are versatile — from soft pastels to smoky eyes, the actor proves you should experiment with your makeup palettes.

Ready your Pinterest board: Coughlan's vibrant pink, impeccably-winged eyeliner is a bold look worth trying this spring. The colorful makeup adds an edgy pop when paired with pastels.

Coughlan has an affinity for pink makeup looks. At the 15th Annual Oscar Wilde Awards in February 2020, her signature pink eyeshadow and liner complemented her fair, glowing skin.

At the Pokémon Detective Pikachu pop-up in May 2019, Coughlan nailed a gorgeous, terracotta-colored monochromatic makeup look.

For the Netflix afterparty in Jan. 2021, Coughlan stunned in a bold red lip, which she paired with fluffy brows, extra-lengthy lashes, and radiant skin.

Coughlan definitely knows how to make her blue eyes pop. For a recent photoshoot, she wore a cat-eye eyeliner look with a subtle line along her bottom lash line for a gorgeous emphasis on her eyes.

In an Instagram post, Coughlan states that '80s-style blue eyeshadow needs to make a comeback. She pairs the colorful pigment with a thick black eyeliner and natural lip.

In a selfie on her Instagram, Coughlan makes a stylish nod to Bridgerton by pairing burnt-pink eyeshadow and black eyeliner with a stunning hair piece.
