Coachella performance on April 15nth, after the performance that dubbed
Beyonce as the first Black woman to headline Coachella.
She made history the moment the Coachella gates opened.
According to Refinery29, Beyoncé stepped on stage with dewy, glowing
skin, a glittery lid,
and matching lips and cheeks — and it all stayed in place through her
entire show.
Beyonce's Make up secrets revealed by her long time make-up artist,these
secrets were taken from The '80s Movie That Inspired The Makeup
Her make up artist says:
" She wanted to look young, fresh, and like she wasn't trying too hard.
I was really inspired by the dress rehearsal,
I didn't want to take her out of the element of the show by making her
too girly or too minimal or sleek, I wanted her to look like a college
girl on campus.
Remember the movie School Days by Spike Lee? That was my inspiration."
The Secret Behind The Glittery Eye Look
" I created a glittery lid by mixing a few different glitters.
I started with a warm, terracotta base, mixed in an iridescent purple
then applied glitter on the center of the eye.
For eyeliner, I used MAC's Brownborder on the bottom and a black liner
on the top. I always tell women,
even though you make your wing with black, coffee eyeliner on the bottom
is the best finisher because it doesn't weigh down the eyes.
Then I used the Lash Paradise mascara by L'Oréal and the brand's
Infallible Chocolate Lip Color on her lips."
He says:" On Making Makeup Really Last It's basically like keeping
your makeup on through two hours of cardio [laughs].
Layering is the key, so you want to use a liquid foundation, then set it
with bronzer; a cream blush, then set it with powder blush;
eyeliner, then set it with shadow. No matter what part of the face, it
has a double application."
The Body Makeup That Won't Budge" I found this new body makeup called
AllEven, it's a spray makeup but it will not move.
You can have white sheets and sleep and it won't transfer. I use it on
her boobs, arms, and legs.
We had four changes so we wanted something transfer-resistant."
He says On What To Expect of him
" I walked out into the field yesterday and it was so cool to see so
much makeup — seeing everyone wearing glitter as highlighter?!
I got a beer and some popcorn and just started taking photos of girls,
a couple girls kinda knew who I was and went a little crazy,
but for the most part I was out there undercover."
On What You Don't See" You literally have about 45 or 50 seconds to
touch her up [during a wardrobe change] —
if you have a full minute, that's a dream. Someone is also pulling off a
dress, or a zipper breaks, or something doesn't work,
so I am basically holding her face still with one hand and then applying
powder or blotting off sweat with the other.
The funny thing is, you have to stay really, really calm — when the
energy is going up, you have to go down and just chill.
The best thing I can do is offer her zen vibes and usher her back out
onto the stage".
