Katy Perry, Beyoncé and the others: beauty gestures to copy
For a look Katy Perrysimply apply a pastel cream shadow all over the eyelid, then add a very fine line of brown liner along the eyelashes. A peach blush and a milky pink gloss finish this candy makeup. High duvets are made with a clear middle parting and slightly wavy lengths, fixed with a glossy lacquer.
The XXL curls of Beyoncé require a large diameter iron and generous brushing to obtain this diva volume. For a more discreet version, you can simply curl the ends and keep the roots straightened. As for striped hair, Alysa Liu’s bun is copied by leaving a few colored strands around the face. Italian ice cream nails Yoko Sakakura are worn short, on a milky base, with different pastel tips on each finger.
