Guest Post – How To Get Beyonce’s Superbowl Look: Part 2 – Makeup

I received a lot of emails about the Beyonce post – many of you wanted to know how to achieve her flawless makeup look she had for the Superbowl. Since makeup is not my expertise, I asked Sanaz of MadeofKandee to tell me how I can get the same look. Read below for more!


Beyonce’s superbowl look is all about contouring and eyes. 

You can achieve this look with the following products:


1. HD foundation 

2. MAC Studio Fix Concealer

2. MAC studio fix powder – start from the outer edges of your face and only apply very lightly what’s left on your brush to the center of your face.

3. Nars Laguna bronzer under cheekbones (blend well) – you may need a darker shade than Laguna depending on your skin tone

4. Prime the eyes with MAC Paint Tube in Bare Canvas

5. Use Urban Decay’s Naked Palette -mix ‘Darkhorse’ with ‘Hustle’ on the lid up to a little above the crease and soften the edges with a light touch of ‘Naked’. Make sure to blend well. Using the same colors line the lower lash line and gently blend. Highlight the brow bone with ‘Skin’

6. Pencil your water line with any black pencil and go over it lightly with Urban decay Half Baked Liner

7.Golden liner (optional) – you can draw a thin liner on your lids to get the same effect as beyonce – Makeup Forever #9L or L’oreal : HIP Gold Charge

8. Chanel’s LeVolume De Chanel Mascara – a light layer as Beyonce’s lashes looked very natural

8. MAC C-Thru lip gloss if you have pink lips and if your lips are darker try a touch of Clarins Rouge Eclat Lipstick in Sweet Rose

Drugstore products:

1. Maybelline Fit Me foundation and concelaer
2. Rimmel powder ( matching your skin tone )
3. Rimmel Trio shadow in 650 ( No:1 in the crease area , No:2 on the brow bone and No:3 on the lid)

4. Rimmel Accelerator Mascara

Last week we took a quick trip to escape the snow for some sunshine in Key Largo, Florida☀️ We spent every moment possible outside, Tom and Adam got their Scuba Diver PADI certification (yay!) while Sophia and I spent our days either swimming or drawing marine life and landscapes. This was my first trip after my sister passed last November, and even though I look so happy here, there were so many moments I felt the grief and sadness, as if it happened just yesterday. I am still figuring out how I want to show up in this space, as I have changed so much as a person since the loss. I just don’t feel called to post some of the things I shared before. Maybe that will change someday, or maybe it will just naturally evolve into something new. I think I will take this year to just process it all. (Even the idea of taking an entire year to think through something is a huge shift for my usually hyperactive type A personality) My focus at the moment is just living in the moment with my family and friends, spending time doing things that make me happy and healthy. I hope to share some of that journey here with you ~ thanks for following along ❤️
I had planned to shoot this outfit in collaboration with @lenacoutureofficial right before my dear sister passed away. Saba, the designer, was more than understanding if I didn’t want to anymore - but after thinking on it for a while I decided I wanted to - in my sister’s honor 💗 She was always my biggest hype woman. When i would feel like I’m not good enough or that I should quit (which was often) she would tell me I was unique and great and to keep it up. When I think of my sister, beauty and love is all that she embodied in her being. She expressed that on the outside also - as she loved to wear everything glam, bright & colorful, and full of bling. Hair done, nails done, everything did - that was Nusrat. For this shoot I took the time to get glam after a long hiatus - and makeup and hair took so long because I think I forgot how to do it, but afterwards I was surprised how I felt transformed. When I wore this gorgeous outfit that I know was designed with such love and incredible attention to detail by @lenacoutureofficial, I felt all of that beauty - like a walking piece of art, and very much at peace. Thank you so much to @divmophoto for capturing the feeling so well 💕
Ski weekend with my favorites ❄️❄️ So proud of Sophia for skiing on her own for the first time!
There are some trees with seeds that only grow after a fire. Their seeds are completely sealed with a resin that have to be physically melted off by a great fire in order to propagate. So to do we as humans, gain wisdom only after great pain and suffering.*
A month ago (and one day) I lost my sister and best friend to cancer. I am still completely gutted and broken. But, I’m also so so grateful to have had felt the love that now brings me so much heartbreak. ❤️ I am so inspired by her - and I will forever live my life to honor her memory. Miss you sis ❤️

Cozy for a coffee date ☕️
French. Toast. Egg. Bake. Save this recipe for a weekend or holiday brunch - it’s SO good and fool-proof! I’m not even a sweet person and I love it. The pecans are a non-negotiable IMO - I get honey bourbon vanilla pecans for this and it is just heavenly. Enjoy!
