There is not a lot in regards to the Emmys 2021 that feels relatable. Have designers clamoring to mortgage you a costume, and world-class make-up artists at your beck and name? No and sadly, no. Make a tearful speech in entrance of a room (or a tent, on account of this 12 months’s pandemic precautions) full of celebrities? Nope. However there’s one thrilling method, not less than in relation to magnificence, for stars come all the way down to Earth — with inexpensive drugstore magnificence merchandise. Tonight, Issa Rae is doing simply that.

The actor, author, director, and creator of Insecure (which missed the 2021 Emmys eligibility interval by a hair) and government producer/co-star of Black Girl Sketch Present (for which she’s nominated for 2 awards) confirmed up on the pink carpet with a face stuffed with E.L.F. cosmetics as utilized by make-up artist Joanna Simkin. 

Each single merchandise in Rae’s lavender look, together with each skincare and make-up, sells for $15 for much less — particularly spectacular in relation to her lavender eye shadow, which seems to be like one million bucks. The daring impact comes courtesy of Simkin’s handiwork and E.L.F.’s $three Chew Measurement Shadow palette in Açaí You. (One other method Rae is relatable? She could not look forward to to debut her full look, and posted this teaser from the glam chair — mimosa in hand.) With a magnificence look so vivid, we will not wait to see what else Rae has in retailer for the pink carpet.
