Recreate Allison William's Grammy Awards Makeup
Though her character, Marnie, seems to be teetering on the edge of a full blown identity crisis, Allison Williams has no such problem, strutting her stuff with confidence at the 2013 Grammy Awards. The actress wore an intricately beaded gown in a simple silhouette, complemented by a soft pink lip and bold smoky eyes. "The makeup was inspired by the colors and details of her beautiful dress and jewelry," explains makeup artist Mai Quynh.
