Last night, Queen Latifah took on hosting duties for the second year in a row at the People's Choice Awards and she looked absolutely stunning in that beautiful jeweled purple dress. Although, the dress alone is gorgeous, her make-up adds an extra touch of elegance and envy thanks to make-up artist extradanaire Sam Fine. Below, you can find what Sam Fine did and used for the Queen to look like, well, a queen.
THE LOOK:
Classic with a hint of color - Fine complimented her purple dress using subtle shades. For the green dress, he simply created a bolder lip.
EYES:
Fine used eggplant on the eye - it's easier to wear than lilac and is closer to brown/mahogany tones. He applied it to the crease of the eye and underneath for definition. Fine used CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit in Ice Princess, $5.61 at drugstore.com.
He paired the eggplant with an opalescent beige shadow on the eyelid to open up the eye.
Fine used eye liner for definition on the top and tons of lashes.
"I don't know anyone who can hit the red carpet without lashes." - Sam Fine
Mascara help to fuse Queen's lashes to the fake lashes. Fine used CoverGirl VolumeExact Mascara in Very Black, $8.47 at drugstore.com.
CHEEKS:
Fine started with a dusting of bronzer. Queen had just come back from the holidays so she had a nice base tan. The bronzer helped to keep the golden glow going.
He then layered on a rose colored blush on top of the bronzer. It added a hint of sublte color. Fine used CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer in Brown Bronze, $8.18 at drugstore.com.
LIPS:
Fine lined Queen's mouth with a liner.
"Liner is a step I never skip, even when doing a nude lip, especially on women of color. It really helps to define the lip." - Sam Fine
The lipstick and gloss were a neutral yet mauvy tone. The gloss was put on top to make the color stand out against her skin. Fine used CoverGirl Wetslicks AmazeMint in Pink Positive, $6.25 at drugstore.com.
Queen Latifah looked beautiful and is just one more on a list of A-listers such as Tyra Banks, Beyonce, and Vanessa Williams that have gotten the golden bronzer touch of Sam Fine. To find out more about Sam Fine and some must-know tips from the make-up artist, then visit his website SamFine.com
