Emmys — BEAUTY & LIFESTYLE

Refinery29-

I know I’m not the only still obsessing over Yara Shahidi at last night’s Emmy awards! The Grown-ish star looked gorgeous in a pink, bejeweled gown by Gucci, accompanied by a goddess worthy top bun and makeup combo.The actress, who was texting with her glam squad right up until the 2018 Emmys red carpet, dropped a photo gown into her glam group chat and the rest was red-carpet history. Her beauty team, which includes longtime makeup artist, Emily Cheng, came up with a look that made Yara the belle of the ball.

“We really wanted to play up the romantic color of her gown,” Cheng told Refinery29 exclusively. Cheng decided to give Shahidi an all-over rosy glow using one unexpected product: lipstick.

Turns out Shahidi’s warm, rose eyeshadow isn’t eyeshadow at all— it’s Bobbi Brown Lux Matte Lipstick in Burnt Cherry and lip liner in Burnt Sienna. “I wanted to create a watercolor look, where the eye colors bleed into each other versus looking really perfect,” Cheng says. She blended the brownish lip liner into the crease and outer corners of her eyes, then layered the pink bullet on top of her lids. Cheng finished by tapping Bobbi Brown lip balm onto the center of her lids to highlight them. She finished by buffing lipstick onto her cheeks and lip.

Lipstick wasn’t the only product doing double duty for the Emmy Awards. To get her skin glowing , Shahidi prepped her skin with a SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. When she was done, Cheng squeezed out the leftover serum from the sheet mask to moisturize the actress's entire body. “There’s always a ton of liquid left over in these sheet masks, so I like to use [them] on her body instead of a thick moisturizer,” Cheng says. “It’s also a stylist's dream because it won’t stain garments.”

I’m already planning to recreate this look for my next big outing, even if it is another day at work.
