Grammy Glamour
The Grammys were glowing and so were the ladies. The popular look was soft skin, pale lips and lots of lashes. You can be sure each entertainer had a visit from a makeup artist hours before they hit the red carpet. But you don’t have to employ other hands to emulate their glamour. Here is a quick and simple way to be your own artist.
1. Apply a deep toned cream eye shadow with an eye shadow brush from the eye line to the crease, blending thoroughly. Top it with translucent powder. Paint over the lid with a powder shimmer eye shadow that matches the cream color. NARS makes lovely cream color shadows in sultry shades. BOURJOIS makes a waterproof formula that will last all evening. After shadow, use and eyeliner brush and a black powder eye shadow to draw a line along the entire upper lash line. Finish with two illustrious coats of very black mascara to top and bottom lashes.
2. Cheeks get a wash of color and shine using two blushes. The first layer should be a neutral tone only one or two shades deeper than your natural skin tone. Using a deeper color pressed powder is a great way to maintain a natural look. Then dust over that with a pink shimmer blush. I love BOBBI BROWN PEONY SHIMMERBRICK
3. Lips are quick and simple. Line and fill in lips COMPLETELY with a lip liner one shade paler than your natural lip color. Skip the lipstick and go straight for a matching color gloss such as ESTEE LAUDER PURE GLOSS or URBAN DECAY ULTRAGLIDE LIP GLOSS.
Spray on your signature scent and you’re ready to rock!
