It’s that time of year again – finally, the BET Awards are back and they have given us some incredible beauty inspiration. Black culture’s biggest night brought the hype with the likes of Mereba’s Medusa-like hair, Saweetie Arabian nights vibe and of course, Megan Thee Stallion looking drop dead. Here is a roundup of our favourite looks:
Megan Thee Stallion
Hot Girl Meg bought some serious glam to the red carpet. Sticking to her trademark graphic smoky eye look, she rocked sleek middle-parted hair with baby hair carefully styled on her flawless skin, ombre lips and big lashes.
Saweetie
Icy. Channeling her inner Arabian goddess Saweetie’s makeup artist Stephanie Nimoh created a flawless sunkissed base complete with a smoked out brown eye and perfectly arched brows. Hairstylist JStayReady coiled her golden blond hair into a tight sleeked back bun and beautifully placed baby hairs onto her face.
Mereba
This hairstyle is nothing short of a masterpiece – the complex braiding has become something of a staple for the artist. Her lit-from-within skin, elongated cat eye and gilded inner corner are iconic and go perfectly with this jaw-dropping look.
Sevyn Streeter
This look is retro-diva at its finest. Makeup artist Deanna Paley packed an icy blue on the eyes with a touch of silver on the inner corners for a multidimensional effect. Lips are very 90’s, with a dark brown liner and pink high shine gloss which makes this look a throwback masterpiece. Sevyn’s hair frames her face from under a headband (which is the same material as her outfit) and is curled in at the ends for extra drama.
Coi Leray
It seems 90’s makeup is having a moment recently. Coi Leray makes waves on the red carpet with cute braids, perfectly swirled baby hairs and lashes that could get caught in the wind and take you kite surfing.
H.E.R
Just look at that Hollywood wave. Hair is styled to absolute perfection looking glossy, full with a deep side part. H.E.R is all aboard the emerald eye shadow trend train, which looks fab with her whole ensemble. Makeup artist Marissa Vossen also warmed up the skin with a subtle blush and perfectly lined lips.
