Cashmere Eyes! HD Skin! Espresso Lips! 4 Glam Makeup Styles to Recreate Now

      At every red carpet event, award show, or gala, the outfits often steal the spotlight. While I adore elegant gowns and extravagant jewelry just like everyone else, as a beauty enthusiast, I believe the makeup looks deserve equal recognition. Following the year’s most talked-about gala in May, we’re focusing on glamorous full-makeup styles, particularly on the creativity of editors Alyssa Brascia, a talented makeup artist, and Sabrina Talbert, a skincare and beauty expert. Having experimented with numerous brands, both have chosen SHEGLAM as the foundation for the stunning makeup looks inspired by this year's gala. Read on to learn how to recreate these red carpet beauty styles. "For my first look, I opted for a moody, soft-focus version of full glam. The Jazy Jigsaw Eyeshadow Palette ($8) was my go-to. I enjoy using plummy tones to highlight my hazel eyes. I started by applying the mauve taupe shade on my eyelid and then brushed the shimmery black shade along my lashline for a hint of wing. To complete this look, I added a bit of Buttery Bliss Blush Stick ($7) in Hush Hush for a beautiful nude-pink flush. During red carpet preparations, I will never skip these blushes again—the dreamy formula blends effortlessly and provides a perfect veil of color that nearly looks airbrushed on your skin. I’m being a bit selfish and keeping all the shades for myself. To finish, I outlined my lips with the Bold Booster Plumping Lip Liner ($5) in Barely There for that early 2000s pop-star pout. Honestly, the longevity and creamy blendability of all these products impressed me." — Alyssa Brascia, associate beauty editor.

      "My everyday look usually doesn’t include foundation, and I aimed to create an evening style that was simple, elegant, and easy to achieve on the go. I started with the Like Magic 12HR Full Coverage Concealer ($8) and filled in my brows with the Insta-Fill Brow Pencil ($3). I then applied the Glow Bloom Highlighter ($7) in Tea Cake on my cheekbones, temples, and nose, and for extra radiance, you can also place it just above your Cupid's bow, at the top of your brow bone, and on the inner corners of your eyes. Then came the eyes: After priming, I used the Jazy Jigsaw Eyeshadow Palette ($8), selecting light browns and applying a slightly deeper shade to the outer corners and below my lower lashes. I finished by adding highlighter to the inner corners of my eyes." — Sabrina Talbert, assistant beauty editor.

      "My second look focused on the skin and lips. I began with a clean canvas using the Skin Magnet Foundation Stick ($10) and the Like Magic 12HR Full Coverage Concealer ($8). While this concealer has a wonderful texture, the doe foot applicator can deliver a lot of product if applied directly to the face. For a more blended effect with less product, dab the applicator on the back of your hand and use a fluffy concealer brush to stipple it on. This combination blended effortlessly and lasted throughout the day—seriously, I received compliments on my skin from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I then applied the Buttery Bliss Blush Stick ($7) in Mulled Wine—a beautiful cranberry shade that melted into my skin seamlessly. This color worked perfectly as both a creamy blush and a warm contour, which complemented my next step: an overlined, ombré umber lip created with the Bold Booster Plumping Lip Liner ($5) in Mocha Muse. The price-to-quality ratio of SHEGLAM is remarkable. I waited until the end to check product prices and was shocked. The staying power, color payoff, and ease of application of each formula far exceed their cost." — Brascia.

      "For my second look, I wanted a warmer, more bronzed appearance, reminiscent of an amber sunset. I began by applying the Like Magic 12HR Full Coverage Concealer ($8) around my eyes, nose, chin, and between my eyebrows. Then, I used the Skin Magnet Foundation Stick ($10) all over my face. After achieving an even base, I applied the Sun Beam Shimmer Liquid Bronzer ($6) to the high points of my cheekbones and along my temples to add definition. It’s incredibly pigmented but blends beautifully, so I suggest starting with a small amount and gradually increasing the intensity. After filling in my brows, I reached for the Jazy Jigsaw Eyeshadow Palette ($8) again. This time, I chose warm browns with a pink undertone for the outer corners and used a light silver, shimmery shade to brighten my inner corners. Finally, I placed that same brown shade underneath my lower lashes. Overall, I was astounded by the
