Up The Lash Factor

We love how Nicki elevates a simple beauty look with voluminous lashes. To follow her lead, keep your makeup look simple, opting for soft or nude palettes, then up the ante with a set of lengthy lashes.

Matte About it!

Zendaya’s beauty M.O. was decked out in pink. We love the simplicity of this look without compromising on the pretty factor. A simple flush on the cheeks, a bold matte lip and a volumizing mascara on the lashes. If you love this lip, try Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Liptick in Blush
