Emily Deschanel's makeup and hair at the 2008 Critics' Choice Awards

Love It Or Hate It? Emily Deschanel Amplifies the Drama

January 8, 2008

by POPSUGAR Beauty 60

Out of all the women at last night's Critics' Choice Awards, only one of them had the kind of high-drama look that stopped me in my tracks. Don't get me wrong, Angelina looked as gorgeous as ever with her signature look, and Queen Latifah looked regal. But Emily Deschanel was the one who tried something different. Everything about this look is strong: Her intense black liner and false lashes, the contoured cheeks, the not-a-hair-out-of-place updo. . . It's a bold take on glamour, no bones about it. Do you think she makes it work?

i'm on the fence about this one. i like the look and it's great for the event...but i'm not 100% sold that it's AMAZING

I think the eyelashes are a little too intense for me. Aside from that i don't think I'd mind the look too much. But just like this - hate it.

Too much drama - I think this look is better for her sister, Zooey.
