Get Alicia's Popping Pink Lips and Rosy Cheeks From the VMAs
With descriptions like "impeccable" and "chic" in the comments section of my love it or hate it poll for Alicia Keys, it was obvious you were feeling her 2009 MTV VMAs style. Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff created the flattering look using Mary Kay products. You know I'm all about the basics, and for just under $25, you can have the same exact cheeks and lips palette Alicia wore last night.
MTV Video Music Awards: Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys always looks ineffably cool. Like so many other celebrities, she opted for a big, bold updo. Instead of the white eye shadow we've been seeing all over the red carpet tonight, though, she went for a flattering gunmetal-gray and silver combination that's less harsh than straight-out white.
How-To: Alicia Keys's Glossy Coral Lips
There was no shortage of BET Awards beauty, but Alicia Keys stood out with a look that's fresh and fun. Her coral lips were pursed to plump perfection, thanks to a colorful yet glistening gloss. Makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff used TRUE Satin Lip Shine in Luscious on Alicia, and here are a few other similar hues to help you get the look.
Which Length-Changing Style Is Your Favorite?
Whether due to extensions, a growth spurt, or just a simple trip to the salon, celebrities, just like the rest of us, will inevitably change hairstyles. Does Eva Longoria and her continually-transforming locks ring any bells? Recently, Katie Holmes joined the celebrity hair length-changing ranks, adding long extensions to her shorter brown bob.
Oscars Trend Alert: The Many Shades of Red
What I like most about a red lip is that it doesn't have to be too fussy, as the ladies of the 2009 red carpet prove. Whether it was subtle and matte like Anne Hathaway or bold and raspberry-toned à la Alicia Keys, it just goes to show you that red-toned lipstick is always en vogue. Check out my slideshow to see how these actresses worked just about every shade of red.
How-To: Alicia Keys' Makeup at the 2009 Oscars
Drawing inspiration from Hollywood starlets of the '40s and '50s, makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff offered a dramatically glamorous red-carpet look for Alicia Keys. Keeping classic stars like Veronica Lake and Lena Horne in mind, she went for sultry eyes and strong brows on luminous skin. Get started with the following steps:
- Skin: Prep with Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold capsules to add hydration and a radiant glow to skin then follow up with Pure Finish Mineral Powder 5.
2009 Oscars: Alicia Keys
Elegant, stunning, glamorous — take your pick, as they all describe Alicia Keys at the Oscars. Her dramatic eye makeup grabs you, and her long wavy hair has such great movement. Some people think her "Another Way to Die" song deserved a nomination tonight, but I think she has winning style.
How-To: Alicia Keys's High-Performing Braid at the AMAs
Since most of you weren't fans of Alicia Keys's red carpet accessories, what did you think about her performance hair later that night? Personally, I've gotta give the gal credit for always switching it up and testing out new styles. The trio featuring this songstress (alongside Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle) was one of my favorite medleys of the night, and Alicia's slick braid stood out, too.
2008 American Music Awards: Alicia Keys
One thing I love about Alicia Keys: She's always taking risks with her style, something that too few stars seem to do these days. Her latest look centers on a jeweled hair accessory called a tikka. They're traditionally worn for special events in India, and if you like the Bollywood look, these tikkas aren't too expensive.
Love It or Hate It? Alicia Keys Gets Frosty-Eyed
Alicia Keys dressed up for a cause close to her heart: Keep a Child Alive, the nonprofit she co-founded to help bring anti-viral drugs to HIV-positive children in Africa. I'm loving her hair almost as much as I love her commitment to charity, and she's on-trend with the blue eye shadow. (Check out Estelle's take for a bolder color choice.) What do you think of Alicia's style?
