The reviews for the latest TV adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel weren’t exactly glowing—though the actress certainly was, in her on-screen look as the drama’s lead role Anne Elliot. Here are five products you can use to recreate her make-up

Dakota Johnson often turns to peach and nude monochromatic beauty looks for red carpet events or TV appearances, but in her latest role—as Anne Elliot in Persuasion—she is seen in a variety of subtle, rosy pink looks.

Based on the 1817 novel, Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, a woman from a well-to-do family on the brink of bankruptcy, as she rehashes a romance with an old flame.

Using the likes of shimmery eyeshadow, long lashes and a rosy-pink lip colour, Johnson’s look in the show offers a clean and modern feel, though with a touch of romance, and this is what you'll need to recreate it:

1. Dear Dahlia Paradise Dual Eyeshadow

Apply a brown eyeliner—such as the Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner from Hourglass—in the upper waterline will to create the illusion of thicker lashes and add depth to the eye look.
