At last night's ACM Awards, bombshell Almay ambassador Carrie Underwood was the epitome of natural glamour. "Inspired by Carrie's intricately embellished Davidson Zanine gown," makeup artist Melissa Schleicher created this "simple glam eye and neutral lip" -- and we can't wait to recreate it at home.
Schleicher started with Almay Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup in light/medium followed by Smart Shade Skintone Matching Concealer under the eyes. To give Underwood's face a pretty yet subtle glow, Schleicher applied the new Almay Smart Shade Bronzer in Sunkissed to the apples of the singer's cheeks.
To create a sultry smoky eye, Schleicher used Almay Intense i-Color Everyday Neutrals Eyeshadow for Hazel eyes, dusting the lightest shade across the entire lid up into the brow bone. Next, she applied the dark brown shade (Hot Fudge) in the crease, finishing with a sweep of Almay Liquid Liner in black on the upper lash line and Almay Intense i-Color Gel Smooth Liner in Espresso on the waterline.
Underwood has always been a major beauty icon, but we're digging her pretty, modern look these days. There really must be something in the water.

Sarah Hyland's look was one part gorgeous and two parts badass at the Vanity Fair Pre-Oscar party, and needless to say we're obsessed. Hyland teamed up with Nine Zero Salon co-founder Nikki Lee to debut an edgy braided ponytail we're all dying to copy on our next night out.
To create the sexy and sleek look, Lee began by adding Unite Texturiza Spray, $35, to Hyland's strands. Brushing the hair back, she then sectioned out Hyland's hair for the top Mohawk and clipped it out of the way. To give the edgy look a feminine flair, she created an inverted braid on each side of the head, and teased the top of the hair for added volume, before pulling it back into a ponytail. To finish and hold the gorgeous hairstyle, she spritzed it with Unite Max Control Spray.
Look out ladies, we've got ourselves a new favorite boss babe style.

Brie Larson took home a 2016 SAG Award for her role in "Room," but she also deserves special recognition for her bold lip color choice.
Celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin created the look using Chanel makeup. "Brie was wearing a beautiful, sky-blue dress with a fun, orangey-red detail on the back," says Goodwin. "So I decided to go with a really vivid lip as the focus of the look."
To get the color just right, Goodwin lined and filled in Larson's lips with Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Orange Intense, then added Chanel Rouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in Article to give it extra pop and shine.

"Fresh Off the Boat" star Constance Wu stunned on the red carpet at the Critics' Choice Awards with a chic braided crown. She teamed up with celebrity hairstylist Marissa Marino from Nine Zero One salon, who roughed up Wu's texture with Unite Texturiza Spray. To create the inside-out French braid, Marino started braiding behind Wu's left ear and continued to wrap the braid all the way around her head, pulling out a few face-framing pieces in the front.
"It is important that it was an inside out braid instead of a regular braid because her hair is so dark, and this style shows the braid better," Marino said. "I wanted the front to stay clean with just one visible braid, so I took the remainder and wrapped it underneath and secured the braid bun with bobby pins."
Simply gorgeous.

Though she didn't win Favorite Actress in a New TV Series, Lea Michele won our award for best natural makeup look. Michele paired up with celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis to debut a pretty berry lip with her gorgeous Ellie Saab dress, and proved that less is more when it comes to looking red carpet ready.
Focusing on Michele's pretty pout, Inglessis first applied the Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm to moisturize Michele's lips, before lining them in Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Napa Vineyard. To create her deep, yet bright berry pout, Inglessis used Burt's Bees Lipstick in Juniper Water.
The beautiful part (besides the look)? It literally costs you $18 to recreate the pretty pout. Now that's #winning.
