Get The Look: “Orange is the New Black” Star, Uzo Aduba At The 4th Annual Critic’s Choice Television Awards

Hi Gorgeous! Keep reading for all the deets on how to achieve Uzo Aduba’s makeup look from the 4th Annual Critic’s Choice Television Awards.

Inspiration: “When I first saw the picture of Uzo’s dress, the first word that came to mind was regal. The beautiful gold fabric with that brilliant shine… I knew that the makeup had to be it for a goddess or queen. I wanted to use rich hues of golds and purples–colors that scream royal!”–Jessica Smalls, Celebrity Makeup Artist.

Step-by-step:

Eyes

1. Start by ling the upper and lower waterlines with Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Eye Pencil in Black Sea ($18). Then brush brows into place and fill in areas that are sparse with Cargo Cosmetics Brow Pencil in Dark ($20).
2. Using a firm synthetic brush, apply Cargo HD Picture Perfect Eye Shadow Primer ($19) to entire eye area. Next, taking a flat shadow brush apply Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Mojave ($16) to the lid, then using a blending brush apply Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Cyprus ($16) to the lid blending the color just above the crease.
3. Line the top of the lash line with Cargo Cosmetics Texasliner Liquid Eye Liner ($20) to define the eye shape, and again, rim the upper and lower waterlines to give semi smoldering effect. Coat lashes with Cargo HD Picture Perfect Mascara ($22) and add a few individual false lashes to the outer corners of eyes.

Skin

1. Glow, glow, glow… skin has to glow! Scrap a bit of Cargo Cosmetic’s gold color eye shadow in Mojave into the moisturizer. Using your hands, massage the mixture onto the face and along the neck. Let the moisturizer settle into the skin for about 2 minutes and apply a sheer layer of foundation primer.
2. Using a firm synthetic makeup brush apply Cargo Cosmetics Liquid Foundation in shade 80 ($32) to the face. Next, using the ring finger, add a concealer, Cargo Cosmetics One Base ($28) to any areas that needed extra coverage, as well as under the eyes to cancel out any darkness.
3. Set skin with a sheer dark translucent powder using a soft fluffy brush sweep Cargo HD Picture Perfect Pressed Powder in 40 under the eyes, down the center of the nose, above the cheek bones and in the center of the forehead.
4. Finish off the face by adding Cargo Cosmetics Blush in Laguna ($26) to the cheeks. Using the Mojave eye shadow again, dust the shadow over cheek bones.

Lips

1. Polish lips with an exfoliating lip balm to remove any dead skin. Next, apply Cargo HD Picture Perfect Lip Primer ($29) and line with a deep Merlot colored liner. Using a lip brush, apply Cargo Cosmetics Essential Lip Color in Napa ($22) and then layer with Punta Cana on top. To finish the lip, blend the colors with a lip brush and add two coats of Cargo Cosmetics Essential Lip Gloss in Vienna ($16).
