Rosario Dawson’s Beauty Look Explained.

Rosario Dawson's make-up artist says 'a little goes a long way' when creating her red carpet looks.

The actress recently turned heads at the premiere of her latest film Trance where she dazzled in a scarlet sequinned number.

Rosario's make-up artist Mary Greenwell says her sparkling form was the result of a gorgeous gown and flawless face.

'Rosario looked stunning in her Jenny Packham dress, so the aim was to create soft clean make-up with an emphasis on the eyes,' Mary told UK magazine Hello!

'[For smouldering eyes] a little goes a long way on someone as beautiful as Rosario. So I started by applying Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Ebloui to the lids, smudging it with my finger, then brushing up onto the brow bone, to keep the look natural. I used a thick liner at the roots of the lashes, to give a dark, smouldering look, followed by two coats of lengthening and curling mascaras.'

Mary says she created a warm glowing complexion with subtle flushed cheeks for Rosario's face. The finishing touch was a rosy red lip, to complement the shade of the gown.

'Rosario has beautiful colouring and always has a healthy glow so I applied a light veil of Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème,' she explained.

'Rosario needs little colour on her incredible lips, so I simply moisturised with some Sisley Confort Extreme Levres, then added a little UNE Sheer Lips Balm in S08.'
