Makeup Breakdown by Mylah Morales

Amber went for an edgy rock and roll look for the 2011 Grammy’s. I was inspired by the silver and gold of her dress and jewelry so we smoked out her eyes taking a cue from those shades.

To start though, I used Black Up Primer so Amber’s makeup would last all night. We keep her skin fresh and dewy I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup and contoured with COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer . For an all-over glow, I highlighted the apples of Amber’s cheeks, the bridge of her nose and browbone.

For Amber’s gold smoky eye I used two shades of COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire and Onyx Smoke and defined with COVERGIRL LiquiLine Blast in Black Fire. For luscious lashes I used COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara in Very Black on Amber’s top and bottom lashes.

We kept Amber’s lips nude with COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lip Color in Nude Attitude and added COVERGIRL ShineBlast Lip Gloss in Gleam for brilliant shine.

Temptalia is a positive place, and while these are celebrities, let us treat them with respect. There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, which is criticism that provides insight and aids one in improving themselves the future and not merely criticism to make someone feel less about themselves.
