Beauty Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist, Ashunta Sheriff
“Getting ready for the Emmys 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
Prep your skin by using DERMAFLASH to get the highest level of exfoliation plus remove unwanted peach fuzz, “so skin care products work ten times better.”
Continue with Kate Somerville Goat Milk De-Puffing Eye Balm to decrease puffiness and hydrate eyes, before using 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 for a “natural, glowing, contoured and lifted canvas.”
I set her makeup with Milani Prep + Set + Glow Transparent Face Powder using a MAC powder brush.
Eyes
“For 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.”
Continue with Taraji’s MAC Collection “Glow”, a coppery gold highlight in corner and center of eyes for a pop.
Add Penultimate Eye Liner from Taraji’s MAC collaboration for tight, precise line on the top lash line.
Complete eyes with two on both top and bottom lashes with Haute and Naughty Tooo Black Lash Mascara.
Finishing Touches
For cheeks, “I used Highlight The Truth from Taraji’s MAC collection on cheekbones and then followed up with Taraji Glow for highlight.”
Line the lips with MAC Cork Lip Liner before adding Strip Me Down Matte Lipstick, a gorgeous nutty nude color.
Add a soft pink gloss only in the center of the lips from Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in Jersey Pink (this color is currently sold out).
“I finished the look with MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ and added Caudalie Divine Oil on her body along with Kate Somerville Quench Oil for the ultimate body glow.”
