If you're looking for examples of how to use your African American skin care product to help you look like a celebrity, look no further than the recently held 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This is one of the biggest movie festivals, and it was filled with celebs and their makeup artists. Recently, Grazia Daily spoke to renowned makeup artist Jamie Combes who talked about the "dos" and "don'ts" of the red carpet.
Combes said that when it comes to the red carpet look, one rule of thumb to follow is that there should always be a pop of bright color on the lips, eyes or cheeks.
Next, the news source spoke to makeup designer Violette, who was also at the festival. She had some suggestions for making eyelashes and lips pop.
"Make lashes appear more luscious and luxurious by using a sharp black eyeliner to draw in the tiny gaps between the lashes. Don’t be afraid to cheat when applying your lipstick. I use a red lip pencil to draw in the lip before adding the lipstick and finishing it with a powder," said Violette, quoted by Grazia.
InStyle magazine spoke to some celebrities about how women can achieve a red carpet look in their everyday life. Beyonce said that she makes her African American skin appear flawless by using moisturizer, while Mary J. Blige said she never goes a day without thoroughly washing her face.
