Alicia Keys Information
Section: Fashion Police
Wanna look like Miss Keys? ;)
It was no surprise to anybody that sultry, talented Alicia Keys was nominated
for a Grammy. With her exotic fusion of urban R&B, hip-hop and blues she has
become the newest soul sensation. We also love her looks; elegant and earthy,
sophisticated and soulful, Alicia keeps things simmering off stage as well as
on stage. To get Alicia's look shown here, follow the advice of New York City
makeup expert and artist Deborah Grayson.
STEP
1 Begin by creating Cleopatra-like eyes. It's important to use a very
tiny, pointed brush (available in art supply stores). Dip the brush (continued
below) advertisement into water and then turn it in your pot of liner. (Test
it on your hand to make sure it has an even consistency.) Create a clean, smooth,
thin line above your lashes and continue out to the outer tip of the eye. (If
you make a mistake, simply dip your brush in water, turn it in the pot of eyeliner,
test it on your hand and simply re-draw the line.)
STEP 2 Using a thin, black pencil eye-liner, line
the insideof the lower lash.
STEP 3 Using a shadow brush, a beige eye shadow
under the brow bone. Next, apply a moss green powdered shadow across the lid.
STEP 4 Fill in brows with a medium brown shadow
using a very hard, angled brow brush. Curl lashes and apply mascara twice to
upper and lower lashes.
STEP 5 Apply concealer around your nose, on your
chin, under the eyes and just inside the eyes where they meet the nose. Follow
by applying a matte foundation all over the face using a sponge or brush. Set
that with a light dusting of translucent powder that matches your skin tone.
STEP 6 Apply powder blush to the apples of your
cheeks using a blush brush. Sweep the color up towards the outer eyes. Next,
dip your brush into translucent powder, then sweep it over the blush to diffuse
it so you won't see where it starts and stops.
