Beyoncé is undeniably a queen, as seen by her stunning appearance. Sir John, Queen Bey’s makeup artist, is acclaimed as a king-maker for crafting the masterpiece that is Queen Bey’s face, and it’s easy to see why. Beyoncé has a distinctive beauty appearance thanks to him that everyone wants to replicate and for good cause.
We have even more incentive to learn from her makeup style as Indian women and other women of color. Some of the lessons are listed below.
Use eyeshadow to smudge your kajal.
A large swath of black kajal might seem overly dramatic and smear quickly. Smoke out the kajal by smearing the outer border of the line with charcoal, black, or dark brown eyeshadow to make it sexier and stay longer. This Beyoncé-endorsed strategy has shown to be effective in concerts when she dances and sweats, and it’s terrific advice for those of us who live in hot and humid areas. By fixing the liner with powder eyeshadow, you may extend the life of your kajal.
Your best pal is a caramel nude gloss.
Caramel-nude glosses are the ideal combination of golden, brown, and warm orange, and they perfectly complement brown skin’s warm undertones. Beyoncé swears on nude lipsticks, but caramel browns and nudes, more than our perennial favorites pinkish-nudes and mauve lipsticks, look best on Indian skin of all her favorites.
Use dewy makeup and a highlighter to bring out your natural radiance.
Instead of using dazzling or glittering bits of shimmer, Beyoncé prefers to use skin-like illuminators and shadows, which give her a natural-looking lit-from-within radiance. These foiled, metallic, and uniformly-shiny highlighters and shadows offer the face a dewy, oily, and natural look, and give the lids the appearance of being immersed in molten metal rather than dispersed frosty bits.
You can never go wrong with gold eyeshadow.
We’ve already discussed how well gold matches the brown eyes that are so popular in India, and Beyoncé is proof of that. She uses gold eyeshadow as a neutral shimmer, and it’s a masterclass in handy, carefree beauty. Gold looks really natural on her because her complexion has a golden undertone. Gold appears quite natural on most medium to dusky-skinned Indians, while golden, olive, yellow, and orange undertones are also popular in India.
