Alicia Keys wowed audiences and left everyone wondering if she was actually wearing makeup during her Superbowl performance with Usher. The answer is YES!! Alicia, has mastered the effortlessly radiant and confidently natural look that's all about enhancing your features while embracing your true beauty. Here are my expert tips on how to achieve Alicia's signature look:
1. Start with Skincare: Good skincare is the foundation of any makeup look. Prioritize hydration with a moisturizing serum and a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer to create a smooth canvas for makeup application.
The skincare regimen that has been keeping my skin balanced, nourished and glowing has been the Timewise Miracle Set and Clinical Solutions HA+Ceramide Booster
2. Natural Coverage: Opt for a tinted moisturizer or a sheer foundation like this CC Cream to even out your skin tone while allowing your natural skin texture to shine through. Use a damp makeup sponge for a seamless application.
3. Subtle Glow: Mimic Alicia's radiant complexion by applying a cream highlighter to the high points of your face – cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. Blend well for a luminous, lit-from-within glow. I like to apply my Duo Highlighter Stick and blend with my fingers or a damp sponge to make sure it stays subtle.
4. Soft Brows: Fill in your eyebrows with a brow pencil or powder using light, feathery strokes to define and shape them naturally. Brush through with a spoolie for a soft, groomed finish.
The NYX Microbrow Pencil has been a long time favorite of mine for brow enhancement. It comes with a spoolie brush on one end and the pencil on the other to make for easy enhancements.
5. Defined Lashes: Curl your lashes and apply a coat of lengthening mascara to open up your eyes and enhance your natural lashes. Skip the eyeliner for a more understated look.
6. Nude Lips: Finish off the look with a nude or sheer lip color that complements your natural lip tone. Opt for a lip balm or a sheer lipstick like Mrs. Keys' brand- Keys Soul Care Lip Balm for a subtle hint of color and hydration.
7. Glow from Within: Remember, confidence is the key to rocking any makeup look. Embrace your natural beauty, radiate positivity, and let your inner glow shine through.
