Rose Byrne debuts a VERY different look on Instagram after undergoing an isolation makeover

She’s spent much of the COVID-19 crisis hunkering down with her family in New York City. 

And life in self-isolation appears to have taken a toll on Rose Byrne’s beauty regime, 40, after the actress debuted a very different look on Instagram.

Pouting for a selfie, the Australian star’s face was smeared with lipstick and foundation, while her eyebrows were haphazardly drawn on with brown liner.

In the background were the hands of a child who seemed halfway through brushing Rose’s messy-looking hair. 

Proving herself the queen of self-deprecation, Rose joked in the caption that she was happy to finally enjoy a pampering session during COVID-19 lockdown. 

‘Great to be back in the chair,’ she wrote, making sure to tag Hollywood makeup artist Hung Vanngo and hairstylist Harry Josh. 

Rose subsequently clarified that her two-year-old son, Rafael, was responsible for her makeup look, writing: ‘Rafa was so focused. New talent in town.’ 

Rose shares sons Rafael and Rocco, four, with her partner-of-eight-years, actor Bobby Cannavale.  

It comes after Rose revealed that she feels grateful for the life she leads – despite living at the ‘epicentre’ of the coronavirus outbreak.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph in May, Rose said: ‘Yeah, there are challenges but then you read the news for five minutes and think, ‘I can’t believe what people are going through.”

‘Oh my goodness, some of the stories, it’s heartbreaking. It makes you realise, ‘I’ve really got nothing to complain about.”

The star revealed she’s passing the time by watching, ‘a lot of Sesame Street and Bluey. We’ve also been cooking a lot, and we’ve been doing some homeschooling.’ 

‘You go through stages of cabin fever, but we’re lucky to have a place that we can stay in,’ she said. 

Speaking about her family to InStyle magazine in December, Rose said: ‘Meeting Bobby and having my kids was the biggest profoundly emotional turning point in my life,’ she said.

‘It’s so hard to talk about without sounding like a cliché because it’s so much more than that.’ 

The famously private couple haven’t just raised a family together, but they also have acted together in multiple film projects. 

The two appeared together in the 2014 Annie remake, as well as the Melissa McCarthy comedy Spy, and they even played a married couple in the 2014 dramedy Adult Beginners.
