Look of the Day: Cardi B's High-Key Glam In addition to all the moon man trophies Cardi B picked up at the VMAs, we think it's safe to say that she also won the red carpet. She debuted a pixie cut, rocked a gorgeous fuchsia velvet gown and topped it all off with a truly fabulous makeup look (and those giant emerald earrings, of course).
Created by makeup artist Erika La Pearl for Pat McGrath Labs, the beauty look was about as glam as they come. La Pearl used shades from the soon-to-be launched Mothership V: Bronze Seduction, $125, as well as the Mthrshp Subversive: La Vie En Rose, $55. She created the dramatic smoky eye by using the color Purple Reign (which she then blended out with Euphoria). She applied a dramatic swath of Xtreme Auberine to create the winged shape and a touch of VR Fire Opal as the highlight on Cardi's inner corners, adding the finishing touch with a healthy swipe of Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner, $28.
For a pop of neutral color on the lips, La Pearl used the new Lip Fetish: Sheer Color Balm in Flesh 3, $38, (which will launch in mid-September); also swiping on Skin Fetish: Highlighter + Balm Duo in Bronze, to accentuate Cardi's cheekbones.
And there you have it — certainly a makeup look for the books, eh?
