As you may have seen, Selena Gomez had an... experience at the SAG Awards last week. The singer iconically presented barefoot, and even fell on the red carpet after her heel broke – yet, she looked stunning through it all.
For the special occasion, the singer rocked a natural bronzed glow, which included a fluffy natural brows, a subtle smokey eye and nude lip, created by makeup artist Hung Vanngo. But our favourite part of the look? Selena's cheeks were draped with a gorgeous rosy blush that gave her skin a beautiful, natural-looking flush.
In fact, the makeup look was so nice, even Selena couldn't stop taking selfies – shown by the round-up of pics she posted on Instagram. In the caption, she wrote: "Last night was such a magical one. I couldn’t keep my heels on but I did manage to take a couple selfies". We love a Queen who can laugh at herself.
The makeup look was also paired with one of the most popular hairstyles around atm. Selena sported her signature sleek bun, complete with a middle-parting that was slicked down for a super smooth finish. The look was created by celebrity hairstylist Marissa Marino, who also posted pictures on Instagram. In Melissa's pictures, we can also see the cute bow accessory that was added to the look:
So chic.
Suddenly, I have the urge to dig out all of the hair accessories I wore to school, BRB.
