Sparkle is BACK!!

That's right, you remember R&B sensation Sparkle from the late 90s with hits like "Be Careful" and others. She was the first and only successful artist to release an album under R. Kelly's Rockland label.

Well, it's 2012 and she's back with new songs, a new attitude, and a new look. She can't go wrong with those gorgeous Diana Ross eyes, so I was hyped to do her make up for BET weekend. She also had great brows and cheek bones! Check out a behind the scenes look at what we did, and stay tuned for more! xo

Rebecca Crews setting trends...

BET Awards weekend was chaotic I'm sure for anyone who works behind the scenes in makeup, wardrobe, or hair! Lucky for me my clients are as cool as they come, so I don't have to work so hard:)

I had the pleasure of meeting actor, Terry Crews and his lovely wife Rebecca in Chicago a week before the award ceremony. Rebecca made sure we exchanged info, and I was very excited to work with her! When I arrived to do her make up, she showed me this amazing jacket she planned on wearing on the carpet...and I immediately thought of a bright lip! It's a summer trend, her hair had a spiked edge to it, and her look was kind of rocker chic. She was all for it!

We went with a more natural eye, because less is more in my book, then we went bold with the lip choice. She also wanted a cat eye, so we winged out her Shiseido Accentuating Cream Eyeliner in black. The lip color was YSL Rouge Volupte #10. Rebecca and her hilarious husband Terry looked amazing on that carpet!
