Glam Slam: Miranda Lambert’s Grammy Glam

There was no shortage of style action to take in from Sunday’s Grammy Awards. I’ve been letting it all digest and realized that, surprisingly, there were quite a few wearable looks, especially when it comes to makeup.

Country superstar Miranda Lambert epitomized a natural, healthy glow most of us can relate to and here’s how you can achieve her red carpet look.

WHO: Makeup Artist Terri Apanasewicz

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:
Miranda’s red carpet look was reminiscent of old Hollywood, with a modern twist. My inspiration was her gorgeous blue eyes, so I wanted to give her a sultry look to bring to life her navy gown.

HOW TO:
SKIN:
I started by applying COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Classic Tan (855) all over her face and blended down the neck. I used Amazing Cosmetics Concealer & Powderset to brighten under the eyes.

CHEEKS:
To add a little bit of color to her cheeks I chose COVERGIRL + Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry. I finished by adding Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess to create definition and dimension.

EYES:
For her eyes I wanted to do a modern take on the smoky eye – soft and subtle. I enhanced her brow and arch with DIORSHOW brow styler. I then applied MAC Fluidline Liner in Little Black Bow on the lid with a touch of MAC Dangerous Cuvee paint pot on the inner part of the lid. I then added Lancome Le Crayon Kohl pencil in Black Ebony to the top and bottom line for an extra touch of drama. I finished by enhancing her blue eyes with LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara in Dark Black.

LIPS:
For her lips I wanted to keep it simple, so we used LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Copper Stars.
