For the 2009 BET Awards this past Sunday, celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff created a Moroccan inspired look for Alicia Keys based on her recent trip for the Mawaline Festival. .

Ashunta prepped Alicia’s skin with Laura Mercier Mineral Primer, a superfine, lightweight and translucent powder that primes the skin prior to foundation application for an even, mistake-proof surface ($30, available at www.lauramercier.com).

Alicia’s beautiful coral pout was created using BeingTRUE Satin Lip Shine in Luscious, a dazzling coral (coral  is HUGE for summer, in case you haven’t heard yet!) Created to coat with a glistening satin finish for color and depth, this Lip Shine contains an infusion of peppermint oil, caffeine and exotic antioxidants to accentuate the natural fullness of lips and hydrate while helping to decrease fine lines ($22, available at www.BeingTRUE.com).

What do you think of Alicia’s BET Awards look? Is this one that you’d replicate IRL?

The newest addition to my cream shadow arsenal are Laura Mercier’s new Satineé Crème Eye Colour.

Available in six shades – light to dark, though all are neutral – these shadows apply easily, deliver a powerful dose of color and last all day.  My fave is Cocoa Velour, a chocolate-y brown that’s perfect for a daytime smoky eye.

Each Laura Mercier Satineé Crème Eye Colour is $22 for a large tube.  Shop the collection at www.lauramercier.com.
