Dasha Polanco Emmy Beauty Exclusive

Dascha Polanco is one of my favorite actors from the Netflix hit Orange Is the New Black. Dascha looked beautiful at last night’s Emmy Awards, her makeup artist Lucky Smyler did an amazing job. I’m so excited to share exclusive tips from Dashca’s award winning look. Read below for celebrity makeup artist Lucky Smyler’s step by step guide:

HER SKIN:

1. To achieve a luminous and creamy canvas, Lucky prepped Dascha’s skin with SheaMoisture Misting Toner before applying SheaMoisture Primer using a foundation brush.
2. He then applied SheaMoisture Sheer Liquid Foundation in ‘Yasuni Honey’ using a damp sponge and stippling the product to build a smooth, even canvas.
3. Using his ring finger, Lucky swept SheaMoisture Concealer in ‘Snowdonia Fawn’ under the eyes. To create more shape, he used the Color Correcting Contouring and Highlighting Palette in ‘Medium Light’ to sculpt the hairline, cheekbones and jaw area.
4. To set, Lucky applied Yala Golden Pressed Powder (a very warm and sunny color) to complete the ethereal look and feel.
5. The final effect for the skin was the glow! Using the SheaMoisture Illuminating Powder in ‘Cinnamon Ceylon’ and ‘Mandalay Dusk,’ Lucky contoured the temples, cheekbones, jawline and neck before adding a final pop of SheaMoisture Annecy Maroon Mineral Blush to the apples of the cheeks for whimsical fun!

HER EYES:

1. Lucky dusted SheaMosture Eyeshadow in ‘Cecilia’to set the lid and to act as highlight under the brow bone.
2. He then mixed the ‘Deysi’ Eyeshadow with ‘Cecila’ and applied to the lid using a damp shadow brush to create a more intense pigment.
3. To complete, a black liquid liner was applied corner-to-corner and Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara was layered to the lashes.

HER LIPS:

1. For a luscious jewel toned lip, Lucky exfoliated, moisturized and primed the lips in one step withSheaMoisture Lip Exfoliator.
2. Following this prep, Lucky applied SheaMoisture ‘Roberta’ Lipstick Crayon all over, blotted and re-applied.
3. The final touch was a generous layer of SheaMoisture Lipgloss in ‘Rosie’.
