Elle usually doesn't wear makeup to events, but for the Virtuoso Awards, she experimented with some fun colours! If you want to steal this fresh look, follow the easy steps below using the suggested or similar products!

1. Begin with your typical foundation routine to give yourself a young, super clear complexion. 
2. Prime your eyes using an eyelid primer (like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion) so that the colour stays vibrant throughout the night.
3. For fuller looking lashes, use a black pencil eyeliner (like Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner) to your top water line (example how-to here).
4. Starting in the centre of your lids, lightly dust a turquoise shadow (like Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow in Turquoise Glass) on your lids up until the crease, not excluding the tear duct area. Feather out the colour to leave a natural gradient.
5. Using a black mascara that will add volume and length to your lashes (like Too Faced Lashgasm), apply this by starting at the root of the lash and then wiggling the wand, moving upward. This will allow for the most coverage. Exclude putting mascara on the bottom lashes.
6. To add some colour to her face, Elle is wearing a rosy rogue (like Nyx Powder Blush) all over the apples of her cheeks. Using the colour that best compliments your skin tone, apply this using a brush and moving in circular motions.
7. As for the lips, Elle kept it natural, but the addition of a tinted lip balm (like Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm) will help complete the look.
