Celeb Inspired Makeup Look: Jennifer Hudson’s Essence Magazine January 2014 Cover

I recently received my January 2014 Essence magazine with Jennifer Hudson on the cover and loved J Hud’s makeup. It looks so girly and sweet yet soft and natural. She looks stunning! I couldn’t help but to do an inspired makeup look.

Inglot Eyeshadow in DS 458 all over lid and blended into crease
MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe all over lid (layered over Inglot DS 458)
MAC Eyeshadow in Shroom to highlight browbone
Senna Pinpoint Micro Tip Eyeliner in Black on upper lashline
