Get glam prom make up like Jennifer Hudson

Dream Girl J-Hud can surely add ‘red carpet diva’ to her long list of talents and is it us or does she look hotter each time she steps out lately!? We think her gold eyes/red lips beauty combo screams Hollywood glamour, making it a winning prom make up look, and a lip colour/dress match is worth an award in itself! Here’s how to steal her style…

Eyes

Beauty School Choose a metallic shadow like this one by Famous in shade 2 (£4 Superdrug) and using a brush, sweep the lighter golden pigment over the whole of your eyelid. Next, blend a darker area of the marbled block into the outer corners and your eyelid crease for dimension. Dab a little of the lighter shade in the inner corners and on your brow bone to highlight. Outline the entire inner rim of your eye with a black eyeliner pencil, then finish with a bold pair of false lashes for real show-stopping impact.

Face

Beauty School Smooth out any imperfections or colour in-balance with a close-matching foundation and/or concealer. Prevent shine with a mineral rich semi-loose powder like this one from IMAN formulated for dark skin, £22.95 (http://www.imancosmetics.co.uk/). It is a little pricey but it’s full of essential nutrients that will ensure a weightless, silky semi-matte finish with light reflecting Mica Pearls for dewy skin like Jennifer’s. Finish with a golden bronzer to highlight cheekbones and add that prom-worthy glow.

Lips

Beauty School We love that Jen’s lipstick matches her dress exactly. Nice work! For scarlet lips that will last all night try FashionistA’s Double Take lipstick in shade 6 Red Carpet, £7 Superdrug. First apply a matching lipliner, then apply your lippy with a brush, blot and re-apply several times for extra staying power, then finish with a tiny slick of balm for that extra moisture and shine.
