Intoxicating. Raw. Next Level. Welcome to the world of a grown woman. Beyonce’s surprise album has sent shockwaves throughout the world. She continues to prove that there are no limits to her talent and that no one can define her. Provocative and vulnerable, this album has quickly reached the top of the charts within days of its release. But what makes this album so different from the others?
Beyonce continues to dig deeper and speaks to the souls of women all over the world, relating to their pain, joy, sexuality, confidence, and more…but it is the visual of each song that truly brings this movement to life. See below for our favorite looks from her new album and some quick tips to help you achieve your own “Beyonce” look.
DRUNK IN LOVE
In a collaboration with her husband, Jay Z, Beyonce personifies sex, passion and love in the video “Drunk In Love.” Her look is sultry, alluring and effortless and truly a reflection of the love and desire she feels inside and shares with her husband. To achieve this look, focus on creating a brown/black smoky eye smudged around the rim of each eye, flawless dewy skin, and a nude lip. The products listed below can help you achieve this bombshell look.

BLOW
Possibly one of Beyonce’s most sensual songs, yet her video “Blow” pushed the limit and catapulted her lyrics to a whole other level of musical stimulation. Her look in this video was playful and colorful, and to achieve this look, we’ve picked some of our favorite products from Dior, Makeup Forever and Smashbox. To re-create this vibrant look, focus on lining the eyes with a pop of color, coloring the cheek with a kiss of pink, and painting your pout with your favorite shade of red.
