Shop the look for Less: Emmy Rossums’s Ballerina-Inspired Makeup
Emmy Rossum attended The American Museum of Natural History Museum Dance sponsored by Lilly-Pulitzer with a really fresh-but-elegant face. Below are some suggestions for recreating the look.
How to achieve Emmy Rossum’s Makeup Look: Whatever foundation you use, make sure it is as close to your skin tone as possible. Do not use any powder unless you’re using a powder foundation. Skip blush, or use only a very pale pink. Ditto for your lips, clear gloss is the best way to go when the focus is on the eyes. And the focus is very, very much on the eyes. Use a black pencil eyeliner to line to top of your lids as close to possible to the lashline as possible. Then use a pale gray shadow to give your entire eyelid a pale wash of color. Extend it only a little further than your crease. Go in with a highlighter (a stick or just a highlighter shadow) in a pale white or pink/cream and highlight under your browbone, then the full area of your inner eyes, above and blow the eye. Finally, use a darker gray shadow to accentuate the crease in your eyelid. Blend well. Make sure your eyebrows are groomed!

I have to express some appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of predicament. Just after researching throughout the online world and coming across ways that were not productive, I figured my entire life was done. Existing without the presence of solutions to the problems you’ve fixed through this report is a crucial case, and those that would have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t come across your web blog.

It’s possible to at this point relish my future. Thanks very much for this specialized and effective help.
