Emily Deschanel at ARCONA Launch Party-Get The Makeup Look
Emily Deschanel was seen at last night’s ARCONA launch party for Eco-Beautiful, a guide to natural beauty & wellness authored by celebrity makeup artist Lina Hanson. The event took place at Vie Eco Boutique in West Hollywood and featured ARCONA mini facials, as well as eco-friendly makeovers.
Emily Deschanel is an actress, best known for playing Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan in the crime drama Bones.
Here is how to get Emily Deschanel’s makeup look as seen at last night’s ARCONA launch party for Eco-Beautiful:
Emily Deschanel’s makeup look was created by Celebrity Makeup Artist Spencer Barnes:
Spencer played up Emily’s beautiful sea green eyes with a subtly smoky, yet luminous look. He kept the rest of her face neutral and fresh, with a hint of a raspberry cheek and sheer raspberry shimmer on her lips. The overall look was inspired by Emily’s vibrant vintage dress and her beautiful glowing skin.
SKIN: Spencer prepped Emily’s skin by first cleansing it with ARCONA’s triad pads. He then spritzed ARCONA’s Mineral Magic and applied ARCONA’s Magic White Ice to hydrate her skin thoroughly.
