GLAMOUR's Women of the Year Awards 2022, in partnership with Samsung, is in full swing in London, and celebrities from the worlds of music, fashion and film are taking to the star-studded red carpet.
One of our favourite looks of the night was from Cynthia Erivo, a groundbreaking actor who is just one Oscar away from being a coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). She wore a leather dress by Louis Vuitton, but it was her beauty look that had us in a chokehold. Her soft, dewy complexion was complemented by a bronzed glow and nude lip, while her short cropped hair was brushed up with plenty of texture.
Lake Sanu, Cynthia's MUA, said: “Cynthia's look today is very soft yet strong. It's more of a feminine strength; it's all about soft, glowy skin, with a beautiful sculpt on her cheekbones. On the eyes, I wanted a really soft feline flick. I'm also working with neutral tones, browns and beiges – minimal black – just to keep it on the soft and elegant side. I used a bronzey-orangey glow in terms of blusher and a lovely natural velvet nude lip.”
Icons, all of them.
Earl Simms: “Grooming the gorgeous Cynthia, I paid attention to the short texture by adding a little of gel and a little bit of serum. You work it through with your fingers, then go through the short crop with a very small hairbrush – the ones that look almost like a toothbrush – and just brush every bit of texture until it gives that gorgeous little shine on the cropped hair.”
A lesson in red carpet beauty, straight form Cynthia Erivo and her glam squad.
