One can always count on Queen Latifah to step up her beauty game to levels worthy of royalty, and that she did for the 2014 Grammys. Sam Fine did the makeup honors; here’s how he got the look. In Sam’s words:

“I used a synthetic foundation brush to gently apply COVERGIRL Queen Collection All Day Flawless Foundation. This long-lasting formula fuses foundation, concealer and powder in one easy step! 

Then, I dabbed a bit of COVERGIRL truMAGIC Skin Perfector along the bridge of the nose, crest of the cheeks and along the collarbone to highlight her golden skintone.  I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lasting Matte Pressed Powder to set underneath the eyes and the center of the face, and then applied my favorite bronzer, COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer, near the outer perimeter of the face for glowing results.

A clean eye doesn’t mean that I don’t use eye shadow; it simply means I used natural0looking shades to enhance her eyes. Using my index finger, I applied COVERGIRL Bombshell ShineShadow by LashBlast in Ice Queen over the entire eye to add a shimmering effect. Then, I applied Bombshell Intensity Liner by LashBlast in Pitch Black Passion closest to the lashline, extending it at the outer corner to lift the eye. Last, I applied individual lashes and few coats of COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara in Very Black for added drama.

COVERGIRL Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Soaked In Wine (Q850) was the final step.”
