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.

Love her look — it’s soft, natural, and classy (not that the dress fits any of those descriptors!).

Makeup How-to & Breakdown

Yolanda Frederick, makeup artist, gives us the lowdown…

For Ciara’s Grammy red carpet look, I prepped the face with shu uemura’s new UV Under Base Fluid in Medium Beige. I then followed up with shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick foundation in 524 for a flawless golden finish. In order to complement Ciara’s stunning Givenchy enseChristine mble, we decided to go with a flirty lash and lots of shu uemura’s Ultimate Mascara in Black to frame the eye. For cheeks, I used shu uemura’s Glow On blush in M Amber 89 and highlighted with Lancôme’s Model Mocha Cream Shimmer for more drama! For a perfect lip, I lined ever so lightly with shu uemura’s Drawing Lip Pencil in Brown 710 then topped it off with shu uemura’s creamy nude Rouge Unlimited lipstick in BG 940M. I then wanted to highlight the center of the lip with a shimmery gloss, so I applied shu uemura’s Gloss Unlimited in BG 980N for that extra pop!
