Get the Look: Allison Williams at the Grammys

I am a huge fan of the HBO series Girls, as one might expect. Even though Shoshanna shares my last name, it's Marnie who really cracks me up. My best friend from high school is similarly beautiful and worked for a prestigious NY gallery. Allison Williams does a great job playing the straight guy among more outlandish characters. She looked gorgeous at the Grammys last night and my friends at Tarte shared how her makeup was done. (Awesome genetic structure would probably help, too!)
