Oh my Emmy!


Though there were many gorgeous looks strolling down the red carpet at the Emmys, the clear standout was drop-dead gorgeous Hayden Panettiere. Flawless skin paired with deep, dramatic eyes equals a classically glamorous look we are all dying to copy.

Want to copy this look for yourself?
To make it easy for you, here is our cheat sheet how...

Skin: Though the eyes make the biggest statement, the foundation of this look is…just that, foundation! To achieve the flawless skin that Hayden flaunted as she rocked the red carpet, start with the mineral fusion pressed base in your perfect shade. Brush on sheer layers of it using the flawless brush until ideal coverage is attained.

Cheeks: To get that rosy, sun-kissed glow, simply dust mineral fusion bronzer in sparkle around the perimeter of your face, hairline, cheekbones, and lightly down the bridge of your nose. (Make sure to blend this color through your jaw line and onto your neck, chest and even shoulders too! Though Halloween is close you don’t want to look like you are wearing a mask…) Apply mineral fusion blush in creation to the apples of the cheeks for a healthy, natural flush of color. Mist with the hydration mist to set the minerals (mist a little more to leave skin slightly dewy).

Eyes: Since the liner is pretty intense, all that is needed on the eyelid is a nude finish. Sweep mineral fusion eye shadow in buff over the entire eyelid using the eye base brush. Follow with eye shadow in stone applied in the crease using the eye contour brush.

Here’s where things get fun. Lightly line all the way around the eyes using mineral fusion eye pencil in coal, a rich, elegant black. Make sure the line stays very narrow towards the inner corner of the eye. Take the eye liner/brow brush and slightly smudge the liner to soften it up a bit. If you want a smokier look, first line the eye with mineral fusion eye liner in volcanic, a foggy gray, followed by coal then blend the two colors together. Generously layer mineral fusion mascara in graphite to amp up lashes.

Lips: Dark, mysterious eyes call for chic, pale lips. Smooth on super moisturizing mineral fusion lip stick in impressive. Layer mineral fusion gloss in sheen over for extra shine and luster and you are ready for the red carpet darling!
