Nalo's Notes: The Keys of Beauty

Alicia Keys has been shutting it down on the red carpet.  When we caught a glance of her at the recent BET Awards, we were struck by her radiant beauty.  From the full body bouncy curls to her sultry eyes, she glistened from head to toe.  We caught up with her makeup artist Ashunta Sherriff, who dished on how to get her dazzling look.

 "She wanted a sun-kissed glow and Egyptian/Moroccan eyes with coral lips reminiscent of the true colors of a Moroccan Paradise," says Ashunta, who found inspiration for the look from a recent trip Keys took to Morocco while attending the Mawaline Festival this past May.

Are you sure that the eyeshadow EC15 was used in this look? Because I went on the NAked Cosmetics website,and they didn't have that eyeshadow on their list of products.

It's surprising and interesting to know that professional artist use products like Mary Kay. I guess I can stop being such a snob about makeup.

I loved this look on Alicia. Although I can't really think of any looks on here that are not beautiful!
