2012 Grammy Awards
In one of Nicki Minaj's most iconic looks, it isn't the obvious that we are inspired by but the subtle use of blush. The rose-colored blush highlights the beautiful tone and texture of her skin. Mimic her use of blush by finding a tint that brings out the warmth and rosiness of your skin color.

We love Nicki's fearless choices of eyeliner! She is not afraid to break all the rules. In this iconic look, she doesn't blend her eyeliner and instead matches it exactly to her outfit. Minaj manages to pull off a bold eyeliner and lip at the same time instead of accentuating one or the other. Try this bold Nicki Minaj makeup look yourself, and be as fearless as she is.



Billboard's Sixth Annual Women in Music Event
Channeling her inner Hollywood glamazon, Nicki Minaj's makeup look includes very full, long lashes on her upper lids and nearly nude ones on her lower lids for a dramatic, eye-opening appearance. Try this style yourself with or without fake eyelashes on top and a near nude bottom lid.

Nicki's signature pop of pink lipstick is a staple for good reason. It makes her perfectly pouty lips pop off the pages of magazines, TV screens and photos. If you feel like you're always getting washed out in photos, try a bright lip color to make your whole face stand out.



2015 Grammy Awards
At the 2015 Grammy Awards, Nicki Minaj's makeup look got serious when it came to her eyebrow game. Her use of powder, filler and highlighter just beneath the curve of her eyebrow gave her a powerful and sleek look. To try this style yourself, apply a little powder in the exact shade of your brows and a healthy dab of highlighter powder just below the curve of your eyebrow.

Nicki is not one to shy away from bold makeup choices. The contouring in this look is not subtle, but the final look is gorgeous and smooth. You can capture this look as well with a good contouring kit and a little bit of practice. Don't forget to blend so you can get your look as soft as Nicki's!



The Other Woman Premiere in 2014
Nicki Minaj's makeup looks always take a simple idea and make it bigger and better than we thought possible. That's exactly what Minaj did with her nude lip at this movie premiere. It's subtle, voluminous and glossy without looking sticky.



2015 American Music Awards
Nicki's take on an updated cat eye is purrfect! We love the sexy, half-shut illusion this look creates. Try this style yourself by applying a thick black line on your top lid, a shade of eyeshadow darker than your skin tone and lots of mascara.

Maybe it's not appropriate to rock glitter eyeshadow for every occasion, but go ahead and give it a try the next time you're stepping out on the town. If this is your first time experimenting with glitter eyeshadow, maybe start with a more neutral black, silver or gold hue.
