Beyonce- A Red Carpet Look

Today I'm excited to show you a makeup look that Beyonce rocked last year at the Grammys. There isn't a lot of bold color in this look, it's mostly golds and black. However, it's definitely a "Sasha" look- the top of the eyelids are a fierce cat eye completely smoked out, and the bottom is lined with angelic-like gold shimmer. Beyonce's artist kept the cheeks and lips neutral to balance out the strong eye, and I think this is one of the best looks Beyonce has done. I LOVE the gold hoop earrings too!
