In 2015, the Dark Horse singer floored beauty gurus as she performed during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. She looked FIERCE with cherry red lips and winged black eyeliner that contrasted against her fair skin. Jake Bailey, Katy Perry’s makeup artist, shared: “I decided to go with a classic Katy look—elongated cat eyes, lots of mascara, super sparkly gold and silver glitter, and a bold red lip for glamour and showmanship,” Bailey said. “I wanted her to glow and sparkle for her big moment in just nine steps!”

2016 Super Bowl Performance: Beyonce

Queen Bey’s shimmering lids quickly stole the limelight. Viewers fawned over the nude tones that complemented her thick, honey-coloured curls.

In order to achieve the same effect, first use a matte brown powder to “sculpt” the lids. Apply a shiny, rust-toned powder on the middle, and layer with a bit of copper powder. Next, line the eyes with coffee-toned liner. Lastly, paint black mascara generously on both top and bottom lashes. This is a method known as eye contouring, where areas of the lids are highlighted or darkened to create depth.

At 50, Jennifer Lopez’s killer figure does not betray her age. Yet, it does make it seem like she’s been secretly hoarding the Fountain of Youth in her backyard. The bronzed goddess worked the stage looking fab in her barely-there outfit as she belted out classic hits like ‘Get On The Floor’, ‘Love Don’t Cost A Thing’ and ‘Let’s Get Loud’.

Can we all agree on how phenomenal she is?

J Lo is perfection in a human body. The evidence shows when even her HAIR stays in place amid her crazy dance moves. HOW?

Her 2020 Super Bowl stylist Chris Appleton divulges the big secret: Colour Wow Dream Coat Serum. Miami, just like Singapore, is humid. Hence, to keep those sweeping curls tight, the serum forms a protective waterproof layer which prevents moisture from ruining their shape.

Below is a dewy, girly style that can be worn daily. Shakira would surely give a nod to this!
