Emmy Rossum doesn't use a stylist. The Shameless star has an impressive two walk-in closets in her Hollywood home, but says she has used her own contacts to help fill them.

"I surf the Web to see the runway shows and then figure out who the fashion publicists are and e-mail them myself," she said.

Emmy says she likes to experiment with her look but admits the risk doesn't always come off. The 25-year-old beauty says she once wore Swarovski crystals on her eyelids to a high-profile event in 2007 and has never lived the look down.

"Anytime you Google 'bad celebrity makeup,' that comes up. I looked as if a tranny clown pooped on my eyes! But I think it's good to take chances," she said.

Emmy also admitted she doesn't get to dress up that much when she's playing her Shameless alter-ego Fiona Gallagher: "It's changed my thoughts on beauty because Fiona is not about perfection. She just looks real, and I think people find that beautiful."
