'I wanted to create a make up that would somehow be imbued with the message of female empowerment and solidarity.'

Emma, 29, paired her asymmetrical Louis Vuitton dress with a bold purple lip and a slick of green eyeliner as she arrived at the glitzy awards ceremony with athlete and activist Billie Jean King.

'It stands for the royal blood that flows through the veins of every Suffragette, the instinct for freedom and dignity, white stands for purity in private and public life.. and green the color of hope.'

The women participating in the Time's Up campaign, created in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual scandal that rocked Hollywood wore all-black to Sunday night's awards ceremony which was hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 

Goodwin, who works for NARS Cosmetics, told PeopleStyle: 'Once I heard about the idea of women coming together and wearing black to the ceremony, and the message behind it, my friend Arianne [Phillips] designing the Time’s Up pin and what the message is, I wanted the makeup to have a message as well.

'I thought, red lipstick was a color Suffragettes wore, so I did more research and found that they also wore very specific, symbolic sashes, pins, petticoats and all these things in purple, emerald green and white when they were fighting for the right to vote.

'I wanted to give the beauty look that had more meaning to me that was far beyond mascara and lipstick.'
