And while some were relying on complex hairstyles and heavy evening makeup, 28-year-old Elle Fanning once again proved that the status of Hollywood’s leading nymph rightfully belongs to her. The actress appeared at one of the social events with her signature makeup, which instantly became the main hit of discussions on social networks.

The secret to Elle’s makeup lies in absolute naturalness, delicate accents, and expertly placed highlights. Fans have already called this makeup the perfect solution for the fall season, when skin especially lacks sun warmth. You can recreate Fanning’s iconic “elven” look in just a few steps:
Step 1. Flawless moisturizing and base.
No radiant makeup will go on perfectly without prep. To achieve the porcelain skin effect, Elle’s makeup artists use a vitamin C serum. A lightweight fluid or glossy primer is applied on top, which gives the skin that dewy, “expensive” glow.

Step 2. Weightless foundation.
Forget about thick concealers. The foundation should be barely noticeable, so that your natural freckles peek through delicately—that’s exactly how Elle wears her makeup. Apply a hydrating tint or lightweight serum-concealer under the eyes and on the T-zone.
Step 3. Monochrome blush.
To make her face look fresh and youthful, Elle uses the monochrome technique. Soft pink or peach blush is applied not only to the apples of the cheeks, but also smoothly shaded towards the temples and lightly touching the moving eyelid.
Step 4. Eye look and lips.
Instead of graphic arrows – fluffy, laminated eyebrows, combed upward, and super-voluminous black mascara to create the effect of wide-open “deer” eyes. The beauty picture is completed by a weightless satin lipstick in a natural pink shade, which is applied with fingertips to create the effect of kissed lips.
