Did anyone catch Ciara at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards? The sultry singer was decked out in Givenchy haute couture (oh, to be pals with head designer Riccardo Tisci), pairing a heavily embellished jacket over a lace jumpsuit.

Ciara didn’t want her hair and makeup to compete with the intense drama of her ensemble, so she enlisted makeup artist Yolanda Frederick to create a nearly-natural red carpet look that showcased her already-gorgeous features.

Frederick, who works almost exclusively with shu uemura products, shared the steps for creating Ciara’s glow. In her own words:

1. For Ciara’s Grammy red carpet look, I prepped the face with shu uemura’s new UV Under Base Fluid in Medium Beige.

2. I then followed up with shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick foundation in 524 for a flawless golden finish.

3. In order to complement Ciara’s stunning Givenchy ensemble, we decided to go with a flirty lash and lots of shu uemura’s Ultimate Mascara in Black to frame the eye.

4. For cheeks, I used shu uemura’s Glow On blush in M Amber 89 and highlighted with Lancôme’s Model Mocha Cream Shimmer for more drama!

5. For a perfect lip, I lined ever so lightly with shu uemura’s Drawing Lip Pencil in Brown 710 then topped it off with shu uemura’s creamy nude Rouge Unlimited lipstick in BG 940M.

6.  I then wanted to highlight the center of the lip with a shimmery gloss, so I applied shu uemura’s Gloss Unlimited in BG 980N for that extra pop!
