Q & a with celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler, Jennifer Hudson’s current go-to beauty expert: SheKnows: Jennifer Hudson always looks radiant. What are some ways the average person can achieve her glowing, minimal-makeup look?
Tia: My advice is to first develop a daily skincare regimen for your skin type so you can start off with a smooth canvas. The perfect skin starts with the perfect foundation match and application. Try applying your foundation with a foundation brush for an even look. one way I keep Jennifer Hudson red carpet ready is by using Johnson’s Baby Creamy Oil to get the perfect glow on the skin.
SheKnows: We love Jennifer’s dramatic, striking eye makeup — what are the steps in recreating a similar look?
Tia: There are variations of the smokey eye, and in my opinion, every woman can vamp up her look with a little smoke. Achieving a well-defined smokey eye takes practice for perfection. Try starting on your eyes first so you can clean up any extra eyeshadow before you proceed with concealer and foundation application.

The bold lip can also be the perfect accessory to a minimal look. Brows will be perfectly defined and groomed for a strong look, and the face will be flawless with highlighted skin.
