From the red carpet to court side with Jay, Béyonce has managed to maintain an unparalleled radiance. Just when we thought complexion perfection had been achieved, Béyonce's performance at the UN of "I Was Here" had us reeling over her  super-human glow. After consulting celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño, we learned that you don't have to be a decorated diva in order to achieve radiant skin like Béy's. Using the right products and techniques is key: Avendaño recommends Lancôme's Teint Miracle Foundation for a "glowing from within" look, a subtle cheek color such as Chanel Contraste Powder Blush, and the multipurpose Orlane Paris Highlight Care Brush to illuminate all the right places. "Use it under the eyes, brow bone, bridge of your nose and cupid's bow to get a subtle highlight and add dimension to your face," he notes.  

The defined eyes complete the look, and Allan advises to keep it simple with three products, stressing that "you don't have to pack on the makeup to look like a million bucks." With Chanel's Ombres Contraste Eyeshadow Duo, he says to blend the shadow over the lid and below the eye, contrasting with smudges of Chanel Le Crayon Yeux Eyeliner in Brun Intense, and topping it all off with two coats of Orlane Paris Volume Care Mascara "for voluminous, but never clumpy lashes." Paired with a light lip--like Chanel's Hydrating Creme Lip Colour in Camélia--this look will bring you one step closer to a goddess-like glow.
