Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup/REX/ShutterstockAlthough the glamour of award shows is mesmerizing, recreating red carpet beauty doesn't have to be hard or expensive.
Just take Carrie Underwood who attended the CMT Music Awards 2018 wearing a look that would be perfect for any summer event. To pair with her Nicolas Jebran yellow, embellished mini dress, the "Cry Pretty" singer opted for light skin makeup, metallic eyeshadow and wispy lashes. Her eye makeup matches the glitz of her dress and jewelry. However, her light use of blush, natural brows and nude glossy lipstick keep her looking overdone.
Need a cute yet somewhat subtle look to wear during wedding season? Recreating the Almay ambassador's look is pretty straightforward. After setting your foundation and concealer, apply a pigmented natural brown to the creases of your eyes and bottom lash line. Then, add a silver shadow to the lids and inner corners. Add mascara and false lashes to bring attention to your gaze, then finish with natural-toned blush and nude lip gloss.
