There’s an art to a monochromatic look, and no surprise, Tracee Ellis Ross has mastered it. On November 6, the actress posted a recap of her latest event—a conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama. The event was in celebration of Obama’s new book, The Look, which is a retrospective on her fashion evolution throughout her years in the White House. For the event, Ross was dressed in a stunning Balenciaga dress, which she and her stylist, Karla Welch, paired with pointed-toe heels. My favorite part of the look, however, was that her makeup perfectly matched the dress.
The dress was a powder pink color, which seemed to be the direct inspiration for Ross’s makeup look. Her cheek makeup consisted of a gorgeous pink blush, which was blended into her eye area to perfectly complement the same color she had on her eyelids. Neat brows and a skin-forward complexion kept the look fresh and wearable, while a bold red lip brought everything together, serving as the proverbial cherry on top.
