Google photos of Ellie, and you'll discover her face is almost always painted in a medley of ballerina pinks, sheer corals, and dusty browns. The shades in her MAC collection mirror her real-life palette. There's even a strawberry blonde eyebrow pencil, which redheads know is difficult to find. Everything — including the makeup brushes — is accented with chic rose-gold details.
"It's very glowy," Ellie confirmed of her shade picks. "I'm not a red-lip girl. There has been a lot of the red-lip thing, and I wanted to do something that was a bit more natural. But you can also wear it on a night out."
What makes Ellie's offering genius is that it truly does function as dawn-to-dusk makeup. Two compacts named after her album Halcyon come in day and night iterations. The former contains a cream bronze base color plus four powder eye shadows, while the latter allows you to bump up your look with a quad of multiuse creams and a setting powder. When I used it against my St.-Tropez spray tan, the medley of hues made my skin look luminous.
