Usually when we think of red carpet makeup, we think of hard-to-copy beauty looks that involve professional-grade contouring, blending and vlogger-worthy eyeshadow looks that take hours—or years— to perfect. So when a star shows up on the red carpet looking like a milion bucks sporting a beauty look that we can totally copy without consulting Youtube, we take notice. Teyonah Parris looked gorgeous at the Governers Awards sporting a simple smokey eye and glossy nude lips. We've selected four affordable products to help you get the look.
A dark smokey eye is always a go-to for an evening out. Instead of reaching for your usual matte black shadow, lighten up youy palette and opt for a shimmer black or a charcoal grey instead. Use your favorite shadow brush to densly pack the color onto primed lids and lightly blend the color towards your inner lid and upwards into the crease. Finish by lining your lower lashline with the sade shadow. For the perfect shimmer grey, we like Courrèges Estée Lauder Eye Amplifier
