Tonight marks the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, and if you're as hungry for truly mesmerizing beauty moments as we are, you're in for plenty of glossy, gilded treats worthy of winged statuettes themselves. Ahead, we're breaking down the best beauty moments from the 2019 Emmys red carpet. Keep scrolling—we recommend screen-shotting and trying the looks out yourself ASAP.

A smoldering eye was the focus of Mckinnon's head-turning red carpet look. We love the way her makeup artist Cassandra Garcia used hues like rose gold and burgundy to soften the overall finish in lieu of harsher tones like black and charcoal. Plus, her lashes—courtesy of Lashify—are amazing

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
