My favorite awards show Black Girls Rock aired last night on BET. The performances were awesome and the award recipients very inspiring. As always I had my eye on the top fashion and beauty looks from last night’s show. I especially liked Marsha Ambrosius natural yet stunning red carpet look. Jessica Smalls is the celebrity Makeup Artist responsible for creating Marsha’s look. “Black Girls Rock! is that event were as soon as you step out the car, the cameras are flashing. With this mind, I knew Marsha’s look had to be Gorg! Since Marsha is a no fuss kind of girl, I decided to give her a stunning photo op look that was quick, but left a lasting impression on the red carpet and on stage.” Check out Jessica’s tips to get Marsha’s look….
- For a smokey golden brown look create a thick line above the entire top lash line, using MAC’s Pearl Glide liner in ” Lord it Up” smudge the liner upwards, until the color begins to fade.
- Apply Bobbi Brown’s “Medium Brown” to the crease and blend to smoke the eye out. Rim the inner top and bottom water line, with Cover Girls “Basic Black” liner, bringing that sultry “Come Hither” look to the eyes.
- Fill in your brows with your favorite brow pencil and generously coat the lashes about 3 to 4 times with “Bad Gal Lash” from Benefit.
- Start prepping the skin using DDF’s ” Wrinkle Resist plus Pore Minimzer” as a moisturizer. Let that set in for about a minute and apply a layer of Smashbox’s ” Photo Finish” primer.
- Dab YSL’s ” Le Teint Touche Eclat” foundation all over to achieve a radiant glow and barely there finish. Using a Beauty Blender, sparingly apply and blend Bobbi Brown’s “Creamy Concealer” to highlight and brighten the under eye area.
- Start creating that sun kissed complexion by applying Covergirl”s Queen Collection Bronzer in ” Ebony Bronze” to the temples, across the cheek bones, along the jawline and sweep a little across the nose.
- Make a big smile and apply Tarte’s blush in “Tipsy” to the apples of the cheek. Next lightly dust Make Up For Ever’s “Super Matte Powder” from forehead to chin.
- To create the perfect nude lip apply Eve Lom ” Kiss Mix” lip balm to the lips and dab the smallest bit of foundation on top.
- To finish off the look apply Mary Kay’s lipgloss in ” Melon Sherbet” to your finger and press the color to the center of the mouth, rub lips and behold a perfectly luscious nude pout.
