“Four nominations… Four wins! I couldn’t have done it without all of YOU. I’m honoured to have won these awards and grateful to everyone who voted for me. It truly was a spectacular event and a lovely evening.” – Bonang Matheba
The queen of South African A-listers, Bonang Matheba dazzled on the red carpet at the YOU Spectacular Awards in Joburg this past weekend (16.07.16). Not only did Bonang win four awards – Most Stylish Female Celeb, Favourite Couple, Favourite Radio Personality and Social Media Star – she also came out on top in the fashion and beauty stakes!
Wearing a dreamy caped dress by Gert-Johan Coetzee, Prada heels and beautiful jewels by Forever Diamonds, Queen B looked elegant, classy and the right amount of sexy. The Revlon ambassador went for dramatic makeup which she described as “the quintessential modern romantic look”.
Here’s how to recreate her bold look:
The foundation
For a flawless finish, prep your face with PhotoReady Prime + Anti Shine Balm
(R249). Using a foundation brush or sponge, apply ColorStay Combination Skin Makeup
in Caramel (R299) to your skin and blend.
The face
Use ColorStay 2-in-1 Compact Makeup and Concealer
in Mahogany (R299) and in Toast (R299) to contour and highlight your face. Add a touch of colour to your cheeks with Powder Blush
The eyes
To create a seductive smoky eye, use a colour palette like ColorStay 16-Hour Eye Shadow
in Precocious (R220). Line your upper lash line with ColorStay Liquid Liner
(R199) and apply two to three coats of Ultimate All-in-One Mascara
(R159) to your upper and lower lashes bold eye.
The lips
Complement the dramatic eyes with a demure lipstick like Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor
