James Vincent Speaks on the American Music Awards Makeup

Classic glamour was the key makeup look at the latest American Music Awards. Sexy, sixties, nude lips took center stage as music artists from every genre gave their best Bond Girl pout. If you loved the fair pink nude look on the lips of ladies including Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift and Ciara, Ardency Inn AMERICANA Natural Lip Color Pencil in Bowery is ideal when paired with a deep smoky eye or a natural eye for more elegance. I loved the way Jennifer Hudson paired the fair pink lip with a shock of blue along the lash line. To achieve that electrifying look give Ardency Inn MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner in Dark Blue or Turquoise a try. The look will be unforgettable and indelible with this highly pigmented waterproof formulation that gives a true shade on every skin tone. For the beautiful beige lip look we saw on stars like Ariana Grande and Jordin Sparks the sexy light beige look of Ardency Inn AMERICANA Lip Color Pencil in Delancey does the job.

On the opposite end of the spectrum bold lips gave leading lady looks to many artists such as Christina Aguilera.  She added a beautiful bright glossy orange to her perfectly polished look. Ardency Inn MODSTER Long Play Lip Vinyl gives glamour and gorgeous shine for the girl that wants this eye catching lip look. If classic red is more you take your cue from Katy Perry or Kendall Jenner. Ardency Inn MODSTER Long Play Lip Supercharged Lip Color in Ladder 15 and Lovecat are smooth and matte that makes keeping the classic look in place a minimal amount of work.
No surprise my favorite look of the night was my lead lady, the legend herself, Joan Jett. The queen of rock kept her signature smokey eye but added in accents of shimmer and silver. For Joan Jetts perfectly Punker eye combine Ardency Inn MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner with PUNKER Eyes Like Fire Shadow and finish with MODSTER Light-Catching Eye Powder in Friendly Fire and Borealis Black. A bad reputation won’t even be a worry with this iconic music inspired eye look.
