"This is one of Tyra's more signature looks and I've been doing it on her for years," said make-up artist Valenté Frazier, who did this particular look on Tyra Banks for an Ocean Drive magazine shoot. "Tyra naturally has a slight bulbous eye, which is why a smoky look works so well on her—it gives the appearance of a more deep-set eye. Very little foundation is used, because Tyra takes good care of her skin. I always say less is more when dealing with the skin.
"I love for the make-up to have sex appeal. Make-up should be approachable with depth, dimension and radiance!"
This breakdown was originally featured in Issue 83 of Make-Up Artist magazine.
Iman Cosmetics Luxury Pressed Powder in Clay Medium all over with a large powder brush. (These powders have a medium coverage, so it acts a little like foundation.)
Smashbox Photo Finish Lipstick in Charming ("This is a great sheer moisturizing lipstick—it gives a hint of color but isn't overstated," said Frazier.)
