The photos of Angela Bassett at the Emmys have been floating around my timeline and getting tons of social media likes, with good reason. Because Angela Bassett looks AMAZING. The word flawless gets tossed around a lot. Here, I’d say it applies. Behold.

Angela Bassett is never one to half-step and she SLAYED at the Emmy Awards. I had to get the full breakdown of that look. Who doesn’t want to know what’s being used to beautify this goddess of film and television?

I reached out to Angela’s makeup artist, D’Andre Michael. D’Andre’s been working with Angela off and on since 1999, and consistently since 2003.

For Angela Bassett’s look at the 2015 Emmy Awards, the focus was flawless skin and bold, seductive eyes. Here’s the breakdown of Angela’s look straight from the one and only D’Andre Michael!

As a make up artist and in the theater industry I love Ben Nye banana powder. It is cost effective, and does so much. Try this if you want a powder that does so many things from even coverage to reducing dark under eye areas and controlling oil.
