How-to | Taraji P. Henson @ 2017 SAG Awards

Beauty inspiration from celebrity makeup artist, Ashunta Sheriff:
“Getting ready for the SAGs is actually a fun process. Taraji is very zen and relaxed its the glam team who’s not. We listen to great music and laugh but most importantly she makes sure we have fun.”

Skin

We prepped skin by using DERMAFLASH, “which allowed me to get the highest level of exfoliation plus remove unwanted peach fuzz so skin care products work ten times better.”

Use Kate Somerville Goat Milk De-Puffing Eye Balm to decrease puffiness and hydrate eyes. Then we followed up with the brand’s DermalQuench Liquid Lift and Quench Oil Free Hydrating Face Serum. “Both of these products work together to plump, hydrate and give skin that superior radiant glow.”

Apply Dior Airflash CC Primer to create an even canvas for makeup application. “I love that is also has a radiance booster.”

Next, use Perfect Blend by Ashunta Sheriff in Tan to create a natural, glowing, contoured and lifted canvas.

“Set everything with Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana, which is great for warm skin tones.”

Eyes

“I wanted a soft rose glow affect so I used Taraji’s MAC Collection Highlight The Truth on the lid just tapping with my finger and using a MAC 266 angle brush on lower lash line for a soft smokey affect.”

Then add Taraji Glow, “a coppery gold highlight in corner of the eyes and center of eyes so they popped.”

To take the eyes to the next level use Cozzette Brushes and Eyeshadows.

Add Penultimate Eye Liner from Taraji’s MAC collection to give a tight precise line on the top lash line, then add two coats on top and bottom lashes with Haute and Naughty Tooo Black Lash Mascara.

Complete eyes with Damone Roberts Minx Brow Pencil for brows.
