Get The Look: Janelle Monae’s Modern Twiggy Grammys Floral Beauty Look

One of the best beauty looks of the Grammys, Janelle Monae’s emerald accented beauty look featured a cool makeup trend to try this coming spring.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Jessica Smalls created the look which was inspired by Twiggy’s signature beauty style, which resulted in a timeless yet modern makeup. Here’s how she created the look.

SKIN: Treating the skin was a crucial component to creating Janelle’s winning look. To maximize hydration, Jessica began prepping her skin the night before the awards ceremony with the Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask. This beneficial mask worked overnight providing the skin with ample brightness while energizing the skin. Upon arriving to their glam session the next morning, Jessica decided to further enhance her skin by massaging Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate onto Janelle’s skin and neck after a soothing 5-minute steam. She then followed with a layer of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream on the skin and applied Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado around the eye area gently with her fingers. To allow complete penetration of the creams and concentrate, Jessica jumped right to the eyes.

EYES: To achieve that bold and modern Twiggy eye look, Jessica began by picking up a soft blending brush and buffed in a mix of Buxom Cosmetics Eyeshadow Bar Single Eyeshadow in shades Lingerie Lover, Haute Couture and LBD into the crease. These intensely pigmented powder shadows give a luxurious silky finish which lent to the sexy eye look. To achieve that stunning pop of emerald, Jessica lined her waterline with Buxom Cosmetics Hold The Line Waterproof Eyeliner in Ring My Bell and layered Buxom Cosmetics Eyeshadow Bar Single Eyeshadow in shade Twilight Tryst atop that for that amazing pop of green. To really give this sultry eye look the Twiggy feel, Jessica applied flashes eyelashes, Eylure Luxe Silk ‘Trillion’ on the upper lash line and strategically placed a few individual lashes along the bottom. She finished off the look with the a few coats of the amplifying and thickening Buxom Cosmetics Big Tease Plumping Mascara.

SKIN: Now that the skin had time to absorb the beneficial properties of the moisturizer, Jessica primed the skin with a pore-tightening primer with a synthetic brush and followed with a mix of Buxom Cosmetics Show Some Skin Weightless Foundation in shade In The Dark with the Buxom Cosmetics Divine Goddess Luminizer. Using a damp sponge, she layered the products onto her skin, concentrating on the nose and buffing it outwards to the outer perimeters of Janelle’s face. For subtle brightness, Jessica gently tapped a bit of concealer onto her under eye area with her ring finger. For a bit of warmth and contour, Buxom Cosmetics Hot Escapes Bronzer in shade Maldives, a universally flattering sun-kissed shade, was swept onto Janelle’s cheeks, temples and forehead and pop of soft pink onto the apples of the cheeks. She finished off the skin with a hint of delicate glow by lightly adding a touch of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream atop the pink.

LIPS: Moving onto the lips, Jessica began by prepping the lips with Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1. For that soft, sexy red-carpet ready pout, she lightly filled in the lips with Buxom Cosmetics Plumpline Lip Liner in shade Stealth, a lip-plumping and lasting liner. For major dimensional shine, she topped the liner with the lip boosting Buxom Cosmetics Full-On Lip Polish in shade Megan.
