As for Newton, her gorgeous glow never fails to impress us. Just a flick of eyeliner and a touch of apricot blusher was all she needed to complete her stunning turquoise gown at the premiere of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this week.
So which look gets your vote? Take a look below to hear what the experts think and don't forget to have your say in the poll!
British Beauty Blogger: I'm instantly drawn to Thandie's barely-there make-up which lets her naturally great skin shine through. This look is all about letting Thandie's complexion radiate its own glow: her lips look dewy and perfected with just a little nude gloss to accentuate their smoothness. Even her eyes are kept to an absolute minimum with just a slick of mascara to add depth. Lea Seydoux has opted for a super-dark eye which really suits her although I think her eyes look smaller as a result; I'm not so keen on the cheek/lip combination..they are fighting each other a bit.
MyDaily HQ: As both these ladies exude natural beauty, it makes it a tough call to decide on a winner. However, we're going to side with Lea on this one. Here's hoping we see plenty more of her on the red carpet this year.
