Steal the Look: Alicia Keys at the BET Awards

Want to know how to get Alicia Keys' gorgeous curls and glowing makeup from the BET Awards on Sunday? Well, I've got the deets!

Hairstylist Tippi Shorter worked with Alicia to achieve her beautiful flowing mane in just a few simple steps! She started with Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Shampoo & Conditioner to make her hair smooth and manageable for styling. She then used Ego-Boost Leave-in by Bed Head to detangle her curls and applied Pantene Pro-V Curls Anti-Frizz Cream through the strands. "This was the foundation to have those big curls last throughout the heat without frizz or flyaways," she said. Next, she used an iron "about the size of my pinky" to refine her curls, adding Ojon Serum to separate and fluff her curls "for all-night body." Finally, she used a strong-hold hairspray to keep the curls in place.

Makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff created a Moroccan-inspired look for Alicia based on her recent trip to the Mawaline Festival, giving Alicia flawless skin and coral lips reminiscent of a Moroccan Paradise. Ashunta prepped Alicia’s skin with Laura Mercier Mineral Primer for an even, mistake-proof surface. She then used BeingTRUE Satin Lip Shine in Luscious to create Alicia's coral pout.
