Get the Look: Beyonce at the VMAs

If you’re like us, you looked at Beyonce at the VMAs last night and thought “WOW”! Forget the couture gown– her hair and makeup were just beautiful. We caught up with her beauty squad and snagged all the details on how she got so glam.

Her hairstylist, Kim Kimble, wanted to give her “something very feminine and very glamorous. I wanted to go sleek, sexy and fashionable-rocker hot because it is the VMAs.” Another consideration was keeping her hair looking good through a high energy performance. Kimble explains, “Because she is starting with a good cut and we curled her hair backwards, it will fall right back into place.” The whole process took 2 hours and started with blowing her hair straight, using a turbo ionic hairdryer and Kerastase mousse, and then curling it with a FHI big barrel curling iron. Kimble finished it off with a light misting of hair spray.

Her makeup artist, Francesca Tolot from the Cloutier Agency, recreated the look from her brand-new “Ring the Alarm” video. She started with L’Oreal True Match Foundation in Coffee over the whole face, and set it with a light dusting of La Mer Pressed Powder in Shell. She went over Beyonce’s lids with MAC eyeshadow in Bisque and higlighted the browbone with L’Oreal Eyeshadow Single in Copper Penny, before lining the eyes with Nars Eye Liner in Black Moon and finishing them off with Mac Eyelashes. Her lips were colored in with L’Oreal Hip Lipcolor in Fearless and polished off with a layer of L’Oreal Colour Juice Sheer Lip Gloss in Peek-A-Boo Clear.

Simply gorgeous!

Beyonce is a beautiful, young women and as far as the person who made the “christian” comment, Beyonce has more morals and handles herself better than any “christian” I know. The religious people are always the “worse” and try to past judgement on performers like Beyonce. I’ve seen christians do worse than dancing sexy and Beyonce always does creative, cultural, trained dancing and so what if she throws in a few sexy steps, she always gives something to everyone, so why leave the men out!! She works it and those women who comment are simply jealous cuz you know their husbands or boyfriends LOVE her!!!

beyonce is one of the best singers who can think for herself. she knows what looks good for her, and she doesn’t listen to some uppty producer telling her how to look, dress, or talk.sure they proably have an impact on her but not an overwhelming amount.

I love Beyonce, but I didn’t really like the dress either…Her performance was kind of off, it didn’t give me chills like when she did crazy in love at the vma’s. call it a sophmore slump. but she’s got plenty of other things going on. i think dreamgirl’s will be a big hit

it's me

WOW! Beyonce always looks gorgeous make up or no make up. But in this photo she just looks amazing! Her hair and make up are gorgeous. She is naturally gorgeous!

First of all, let me say that if you are real with yourself, whether it’s Madonna, Beyonce’, or whomever, you have to give credit when and where it is due. Secondly Beyonce’ is only who she is. You can’t get mad at “OTHER” people pumping her up. If you decide to, then you are so shallow and you are only allowing yourself to get upset for nothing. In addition to that, when we see her, she is doing only what she knows which is performing. Grant it, off stage she does seem to have a shyness or not have much of a personality, but on that stage, that’s who she is, that’s what pays that bills, that’s all she know’s so to speak is performing, hell she’s been doing it since 5, now she’s 25. I give everybody credit. Do-You!!! Hell, you only get one chance to live, so make the best of it, and you see she is. With some of yall “Hatin” she could give a DAMN! Believe that. If she wants to be with Jay-Z, one of the Best Rappers alive, so-be-it, that man loves her, and apparently something is going on right. That man before he came out of retirement only was featured on her s***. So please, all of these fly by night marriages, lay off of B. The girl got a body, and she always looks good, she always sounds good, and all the guys that I know lusts over her like it aint no tomorrow. These females thats talkin mess, be real with yourselves, you know you want a body like that. L.O.L., no, seriously. B, all I gotta say is ” You damned if you do, and you damned if you don’t”. Do-you. Seize the Moment. To all the girls talkin about they are tired of seeing her on t.v. and tired of hearing about her, cut your radio’s down and turn your t.v’s off cuz she is gonna open up the show with a BANG, or end the show like WOAH! Again, ladies, lets not hate, focus on yourselves. If you spend 6 months leaving other peoples bnusiness alone and 6 months attending to your own, you will never have time to hate or trip off the next person. I will do me, and continue to do me inspite of. Hell at this point i’m not even mad at Flav and Deelishis, or Janet and Jermaine, why? Beacuse when I do me, meaning focus on me, to hell with what everybody else has to think, and when I do it, imma do it just like B. How is that? HHmm, continue to be quiet, humble, outgoing, beautiful and presentable, but I will let whatever I do “RING THE ALARM”, meaning do good at the box office’s, c.d. sales ect… Nuff said, look at the girl stats. continue to be blessed, I am!!!
