Serena Williams- Pre Grammy Party Makeup Breakdown

Serena looked stunning Saturday night in a pale green Fendi dress. I wanted her makeup to look fresh and glamorous!

To Even out her skin I started with Bobbi Brown-Stick Foundation, which is a MUST HAVE on darker skin tones because of the yellow base. It’s Amazing! I also used lighter and darker shades for highlighting and contouring. This product is also great as a concealer or eyeshadow base.

I set the foundation with RCMA-No Color Powder that works for all skin tones!!

I shaped her eyebrows with Smashbox-Brow Tech To Go in Brunette

I LOVE Serena’s eyes, so I wanted them to be the focal point of this look. I started by blending MAC-Saddle Eyeshadow into Her crease

I then used a color I love and don’t use often enough Urban Decay-URB Eyeshadow. This is a pale sparkly green, I applied it wet onto her eyelid and highlighted her inner corners. I applied it we to make the color more vibrant and also to help keep glitter from falling down onto the rest of the face. Great trick with glittery shadows.

I then smoked serena’s outter corners with NARS-Night Porter eyeshadow. On her eyelid I smoked her lash line and blended a V shape into her crease, on the bottom I smudged it halfway across, in order to keep the inner highlight.

I lined her top lash line and bottom inner rim with MAC-Fluidline in Blacktrack

I applied a full strip of Smoke and Mirrors-Nashville lashes to add drama to the eye.

For the apple of her cheeks I used NARS-Taos Blush 

Then dusted MAC-Golden Bronze on her cheekbones to make her skin Glow!I kept her lips pale to keep the focus on the eyes, I used Smashbox-Splendid lipstickand super nude Sephora Collection Lip Gloss in-In the BuffTo finish the whole look I applied Carlene K Shine Bronzer- in Cocoa Queen!This color is NOT Available yet, I am gearing up to launch Golden Goddess (Fair) and Cocoa Queen (Dark) closer to Summer. It is used not to make her darker but to make her skin have the most amazing Golden Bronze Glow.  For “Bronze Bombsell” which works on all skin tones visit my site www.CarleneKCosmetics.com
