I'm not sure if I can adequately describe my adoration of Keri Hilson's makeup look at this year's Billboard Music Awards but I'll try. I love how Hilson's winged, green and gold eyes complemented her chartreuse, sheer bell sleeved Rachel Roy mini dress (paired with a turquoise belt) and nude glitter Christian Louboutin Balota Sandals. The touch of blush and baby pink lips pulled it all together. Celebrity Ashunta Sheriff so graciously (again) shared the details and inspiration behind Hilson's look. "[I] was reminded of Michelle Pfeiffer from Scarface. It was very 1970's inspired with icy pastel colors [which I] made modern and fresh by infusing warm golden and copper colors to make Keri's skin glow. We also added two pairs of Ja'Maal Buster Lashes to add some serious drama."

How to Get Keri Hilson's Makeup Look at the 2011 Grammys
Okay, so makeup is so not my strength but I've managed to learn quite a few things. For one, I've noticed that Ashunta Sheriff's signature seems to be some type of "body bling" (not to be confused with Scott Barnes product that he created for Jennifer Lopez). For the 2011 Grammys, Sheriff used Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer, which is "an ultra-light skin brightener with a hint of bronze." As soon as I spotted the sparkles on Hilson's decolletage and chest, I automatically knew that it was Ashunta Sheriff's work. Get the rest of Keri Hilson's look below:

Vixen, Validated: How to Do Keri Hilson's Silver and Black Glitter Manicure from the 2010 BET Awards
Arriving at a post BET Awards party, Keri Hilson was the third celebrity to be treated to a manicure by celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees. She is wearing the OPI Axxium Gel Lacquer with silver glitter tips. On her ring finger, Kyees glued black Swarovski crystals and topped it off with a black glitter tip. For Keri's pedicure, Kyees used "Sally Hansen in 220," which could possibly be Cafe Au Lait.
This look could be easily requested at your local nail salon. In fact, my mom and sister have had the pleasure of experimenting with the different glitter gel tip combinations available at J. Nails here in San Antonio.
Keri Hilson is the New Face of Imari and Avon's Color Collection
Avon recently announced that award-winning songwriter and singer Keri Hilson has joined the Avon family as the face of Imari, Imari Seduction and Avon's flagship Color collection! According to Avon, Hilson represents the modern Avon woman due to her "magnetic appeal, singular talent, and classic beauty." The brand has also said they "are thrilled to have her on board as the face of Imari and our Color collection."
"I’m so excited and honored to be Avon’s newest face,” says Hilson. “Avon has always been dedicated to empowering women through beauty. I’ve always strived to do the same with my music. To be a part of that experience means a tremendous amount to me.”
Starting in August 2010, Keri Hilson will appear in the pages of Avon's brochure for Imari and Color throughout the remainder of the year. Her first official appearance on behalf Avon will be performing at their annual sales conference this month.
P.S. I love her hair here! I think I might try this hairstyle next. Also, Keri is wearing the Big Color Eye Pencil in Eggplant (big surprise, right?!) in the video. Hair by Tippi Shorter; makeup by Paul Innis (Warren-Tricomi Management for Avon Cosmetics).
