Get Carrie’s Dramatic Look
If you’re looking to make heads turn on the next night you go out, just do your make-up the way Carrie Underwood did at the American Music Awards! She was able to pull off heavy mascara and eye liner while still looking great! Here’s how to get her look:
1. Apply MAC Pigment in Frozen White [$19.50] all over lid with a q-tip. Be sure to dab in tiny strokes instead of sweep on, so the glitter stays put.
2. Blend Benefit High Beam [$22] with fingertips on brow bone for shimmery highlights.
3. Starting on the inner corner of the lower lash line, draw a very thin line with Physicians Formula Retro Glow Liquid Kohl Eyeliner [$5.95] towards the outer corner.
4. Add drama by drawing a thick line of Bobbi Brown Creamy Eye Pencil in Black [$20] along the upper lash line, from the inner corner to the outer corner. Apply on the lower inner rim as well.
5. Apply two coats of Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara [$17] to upper and lower lashes.
6. Sweep Cover Girl Believable Blush in Rose Silk [$5.09] on apples of cheeks for a rosy glow.
7. Apply i.d. bareMinerals Face Color - Faux Tan [$20] all over cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. Be sure to use a very slight amount, so you don’t actually look like you have a fake tan!
8. Line lips with Stila Glaze Lip Liner in Rose [$14].
9. Finish off with NARS Lip Gloss in Sandpiper [$23] on lips, and get ready for your close up!
