How the 2017 Golden Globe Makeup Translates for the Everyday Woman

by Necia Boston
     It never fails, there is a grand event for celebrities and industry elite.  We wait patiently to see our favorite stars hit the red carpet.  Wondering if the top trends in fashion, hair, and makeup will be seen or if there will be new and exciting looks for the masses to imitate.
     Due to my love for makeup, I am always looking at brows, complexion, and colors most prevalent with celebrity arrivals.  Not much to my surprise, many of our favorite "brown" beauties rocked my all time favorite; the "Neutral Face" . There were different variations of the "Neutral Face" but overall an even complexion (foundation), some with a youthful glow, soft contouring of the face, no eyeshadow or a soft earth-tone shade, with little or no blush color. The Golden Globe "Brown Beauties" accented their simple (but beautiful) faces with either an appropriate neutral lip or a pop of color.

     Well how exactly does this look translate? The "Neutral Face" is my go to as a Makeup Artist and should be for ladies doing their makeup at home.  This makeup look exemplifies and takes us back to our roots of natural beauty.  Beauty without the harsh contour lines and super highlights. Beauty without an overly sculpted brow and a glitter lip. Now don't drag me here.....all beauty techniques and looks have a place and a time. I have been known to rock a glitter lip as well.  However, all the "trends" do not have to be worn at one time.

     The "Neutral Face" is one that is easy to build upon.  This can be done by mastering your foundation and soft contouring routine. Learn how to perfect a natural looking highlight and contour look that appears more as natural shading and a soft glow.  This allows you to transform the look by adding a neutral lip and a smokey eye or a neutral eye and a pop of color on the lips.The "Neutral Face" is the face that can take you from work to date night with a simple addition of lashes, eye color, or a rocking red lip.
