Girl Crush: Vanessa Williams

Fresh off her historic Miss America win, Vanessa Williams rocks a full face of amazing ’80s makeup: orange lipstick, cobalt blue eyeliner and russet blush.

At a Hollywood event, Williams rocks a sculptural French twist, smokey eyes, and matte, cider-hued lipstick. So futuristic femme.

At a photo shoot in 1990, Williams goes for a fresh, rustic look with dewy foundation, expertly penciled-in brows, and bronze lipstick.

Vanessa Williams showed up to the Soul Train Awards looking every inch the early-’90s glamazon, with a va-va-voom blowout, shimmery violet eyeshadow and ice-pink gloss.

At a photo op in ’96, Williams kept it clean with bleached brows and frosted nude lipstick, but added heavy black eyeliner on her upper lid for definition. So pretty.

Pregnant with her daughter, Sasha Gabriella Fox, Williams hit the red carpet with impossibly radiant skin, glossy toffee-hued gloss and Pre-Raphaelite ringlets.

At Kenneth Cole’s Fall 2005 runway show, Williams sported a beachy sheen with her gold eyeshadow, bronzy-coral blush and softly sun-kissed skin.

Williams showed up to a New York City Ballet performance wearing flawlessly elegant red carpet makeup: A row of false lashes, lightly filled-in brows, subtly shimmering foundation and glossy, neutral-toned lips.

As Wilhelmina Slater on “Ugly Betty,” Williams’ look is all about bitchy glamour—major lashes, smoky grey shadow, contoured cheeks and expertly lined lips.
