Yesterday, President Barack Obama took the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States of America. While the future of our nation was definitely on the minds of those in attendance and watching at home, one couldn’t help but to notice the sartorial choice of Beyoncé, who has maintained her friendship with the Obamas throughout his presidency and re-election.
Bey definitely brought the sex appeal, albeit a reserved one, to the National Mall. She was a stunner in an Emilio Pucci peek-a-boo, long-sleeve gown and makeup look created by none other than Mally Roncal, a favorite makeup artist of King Bey.
Now we know you’re probably not stacked like Beyoncé, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look just as good. Keep clicking for how to get Beyoncé’s Inauguration look at a fraction of the cost!
Mally Roncal shares her tips for recreating Beyoncé’s look:
- To set the skin, apply my Perfect Prep Poreless Primer all over the face and my Cancellation Concealer directly underneath the eyes.
- To achieve natural-looking coverage, first, apply Ultimate Performance Liquid Foundation. Next, add a sweep of my new Diamond Unpowder, which will illuminate the skin. Follow up by brushing on the Effortless Airbrush Highlighter and add the Blush Duo to the cheeks, in order to create a soft, radiant glow on the skin.
- To achieve a rich, smoky eye, try my Evercolor Shadow Stick in Saddle Shimmer. Apply this all over the eyelid and underneath, as well. Next, select a few shades from the Mally Beauty In the Buff Palette and sweep that onto the eyelids. Finish the look by applying a small amount of my Age Rebel Shadow Stick in Chocolate Diamond on the bottom lid right under your eyelashes to open up the eye. Follow by using my Lightwand Eyebrightener to the inner corners to instantly brighten this area. Lastly, to achieve this bold eyeliner at-home, try using the Mally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Eyeliner in Midnight, layered with the Ultimate Performance Ink Eyeliner, which is exclusive to QVC.com.
- Compliment this confident eye by pairing it with a mascara that will enhance the overall look – such as the Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara and/or my new Instant Impact Mascara.
- To create glossy, Beyoncé-worthy lips try my High Shine Lip Gloss in Mally’s Look or Mally’s Baby.
- And last but not least, before you leave the house, apply the Mally Beauty Face Defender to lock your makeup in place and Perfect Prep Hydrating Under Eye Brightener to make the eyes pop!
According to Mally, anyone can achieve this easy-to-wear look at home. It works on all ages, skin types, and colors! These essentials from Mally Beauty can be found on QVC.com and MallyBeauty.com.
