Shop The Look: Alicia Keys embraces the 'many moods of Alicia' as she showcases the season’s hottest beauty looks that you can buy

We literally can’t get enough of this beautiful, elegant and festive look with deep red satin, frosted eyes, glowy skin and pearl adorned hair. If we were going anywhere of note this holiday season, it would be our go-to look from cocktails to Christmas day. MUA Reiko-Brown revealed she used her Chanel beauty kit to perfect Alicia’s skin and create the soft-focus, halo glow.

Create a healthy, glowy skin finish with Les Beiges Healthy Glow Hydration and Longwear Foundation, £41, Chanel. For a subtle shimmery wash across eyes blend Small Eyeshadow in Frosted White, £15, MAC across lids and finish with a sweep of eye defining mascara such as Bambi False Lash Mascara Black, £10.99, L'Oréal Paris. Less is more for this look, so add just a subtle blush on cheeks with Cheek Heat Sheer Blusher, £8.99, Maybelline and go natural on lips to finish with Rouge Coco Flash 54 in Boy, £31, Chanel.

For seriously wow factor hair - prep hair with Supershine Moisturizing Cream, £54.50, Oribe, twist hair into a rope plait, then get crafty and decorate with stick-on half pearls.

Alicia thanks her mum as her tomboy influence. “I think I got my tomboy nature from her, because she’s not very frilly, and I got a lot of that sensibility from her.“ Also revealing her experience of growing up in NYC. “A lot of my fashion and beauty sense comes from being so exposed to the streets at a young age. I always had to be conscious about my toughness, about my boundaries and my clothes, so I was always very pared down in what I wore.” She admits she’s still happy to play it down. “I mean, you could put me in a jumpsuit every day and I’d be happy.”

For this pared down beauty look, Reiko-Brown opted for minimal makeup in a neutral brown palette. Add eye definition with a soft cream shadow stick such as No Budge Shadow Stick, £5, e.l.f blended over lids into the crease, and traced under the lower lash line. Add definition with Alicia’s go-to mascara Le Volume de Chanel Mascara, £28 , Chanel and brush up brows with Boy Brow, £14, Glossier. For a subtle, glistening skin contour blend Baume Essentiel Golden Light, £33, Chanel on cheekbones and swipe on a nude toned lip shade such as Rouge Coco Flash 116 in Easy, £32, Chanel to finish.

When it comes to hair, let your natural texture take the glory. Hairstylist Nai’vasha encouraged and defined Alicia’s curls using Oribe. Try Curl Gloss Hydration and Hold, £41.50, Oribe, a lightweight gel. Apply to damp hair before air or diffuser drying to give your curls hold and shine.

Alicia’s beauty choice to convey her power and strength? Braids and full colour! "I've always been proud of wearing braids and I love learning about the power of hair. I've always felt royal when I wear braids. There's something so beautiful about the Blackness of it, about my African ancestry that I just feel truly connected to," revealed Alicia in her GLAMOUR cover interview.

Hair stylist Nai’vasha customised a braided wig for Alicia using metallic beads. Recreate the look with clip in gold cuffs or metallic beads, from £5.99 at Amazon.

To stand alongside the braids, a statement make look was required. Draw on multiple shades of blue on eyelids with Stylo Yeux Waterproof in Fervent Blue and Intense Teal, £22, Chanel and top up colour if required with the Ultimate Edit Petite Eye Shadow Brights Palette, £7, NYX Professional. Warm skin with a golden powder such as Hoola Matte Bronzing Powder Mini, £14.50, Benefit to balance the look. Lips are the only understated element here, coated with a slick of translucent colour such as Rouge Coco Flash 116 in Easy, £32, Chanel.
