It’s been a great year for Black actors and an even better year for red carpets. Some of our favorite fresh faces in Hollywood brought their A game to their beauty choices at the 2018 MTV Movie Awards. Find out how you can recreate their looks below!

1. Zendaya

When she’s not speaking out against colorism Zendaya is killing it on the red carpet.  Get her flawless brows by trying out ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Dipbrow Pomade ($18). Use a dual-sided brow tool ($10) to apply it just right.

Get the “Grown-ish” star’s hydrated curls by soaking your hair in EDEN BodyWorks rich Curl Defining Creme ($7.99). Make sure to saturate each curl with product and distribute it evenly to get the desired look. Cover your side part by slightly teasing the hair at the crown on each side with a rattail comb ($2.79). 

3. Tiffany Haddish

Lay your edges down like the evening’s host Tiffany Haddish by using Creme of Nature’s Argan Oil Edge Control Black ($4.99). Black edge control is becoming more and more popular because it completely eliminates the risk of white residue but be careful because a little goes a long way and the last thing you want is tar streaked forehead.

5. Lena Waithe

We live for “The Chi” creator’s light beats. Recreate her effortlessly smooth look with Danessa Myrick’s Vision Cream Cover ($28). We love this all in one foundation and concealer for full-coverage but the best part of the product is that it’s Black-owned.

7. Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson balanced out her bright red ensemble with a nude lip. Rock your own with a neutral lipstick from Gold Label Cosmetics ($14), we love this Black-owned brand for their pigmented lipsticks. Finish the look with a peach highlighter from e.l.f cosmetics ($4).

The woman lovely enough to be a believable Young Taraji took a risk that totally paid off with this vibrant pink eyeshadow and wispy lashes combination. Get the look by pairing Nars falsies ($20) with URBAN DECAY COSMETICS Eyeshadow ($20) in Woodstock.
