Queen Latifah was one of my very favorite looks of last night's Grammy Awards - she was positively glowing! Makeup artist Sam Fine created the gorgeous make up look and says "Last night, Queen had one request: she wanted to look natural with wonderful skin, sparse lashes and a great brow. Most of the time was spent perfecting the canvas."
To get Queen Latifah's natural look, try these steps:
- Use a cream foundation to give skin a supple, flawless complexion.
- Next, apply a bit of powder to the t-zone only. This allows the outer perimeter of the skin to glow naturally.
- Layer on bronzer to add a glow, then follow with a bit of blush on the apples of the cheek.
"Since Queen was wearing a strapless dress, I applied a thin layer of moisturizer to her shoulders and collar bone. Then I dusted on some bronzer to make draw a bit of attention and make them shimmer," says Sam.
To get that glowing look, try CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer in Ebony Bronze ($8.18 at Drugstores)
For the eyes, apply a small amount of highlighter to underneath the brow bone. Then use the same bronzer as a shadow and sweep it lightly across the eyelids. Use a smokey black pencil liner to line the upper lid and then smudge it with a deep ebony shadow. Apply a few coats of mascara.
"I used barely any eyeshadow when creating this look. Very 'less is more'," advises Sam. "An alternative to the deep ebony shadow could be a dark navy. As always when creating an eye for an awards show or event, don't forget your false lashes."
To get the look, try CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Shimmering Onyx ($3.47 at Drugstores) and CoverGirl Outlast SmoothWear All-Day Eyeliner in Onyx ($5.76 at Drugstores).
To complete Latifah's face, line the lips with a liner that is one shade darker than your natural color. Then apply a matching shimmering lip gloss like Wetslicks AmazeMint Lip gloss in No Care Bare ($7.26 at Drugstores) on top. Voila!
