Day to night makeup usually involves a lengthy amount of time in the office bathroom before heading out to cocktails. But Elizabeth Banks just showed Us that making that transition can be as simple as applying lipstick.

The Pitch Perfect 2 director, 41, hit the red carpet at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Monday, January 25, modeling a sultry smoky eye with a rosy lip — crafted by celeb makeup artist Kerrie Urban — that needs only one tweak to make it to the afterparty.

"I created Elizabeth’s nude lip in layers. First, I lined her lips with the Votre Vu Dramatic Lip Liner in Spark, then I applied Votre Vu French Kiss Lipstick in Loulou, and I finished with Votre Vu Lip Lustre in Tender," Urban, who also works with Zosia Mamet and Caitriona Balfe, tells Us Weekly.

To make it evening-appropriate, all you have to do is "simply darken the lip color," says the makeup artist, and that smoky eye will be ready to dance the night away. (Our choice to pair with a wine-colored smoky? An oxblood statement lip.)

As for the colors that created the dramatic eye in question, Urban blended the Votre Vu Palette Play in Nude's cream and burgundy hues. Votre Vu Vu On Rouge in Bouquet Rose dusted the apples of Banks' cheeks, and Votre Vu Arch de Triumphe in Soft Black highlighted the lash line.
