Editor's Note: This post will be updated as soon as find more information. I am so thankful that Mr. Sam Fine is sharing what he used on Mo'Nique via Twitter. I wish more celebrity makeup artists would do the same! You can also follow him @SamFineBeauty!

It all started with a question. Amber from Brown Bombshell Beauty asked Sam Fine on Twitter what type of lashes he used on Mo'Nique for the Golden Globes. I promptly emailed my contact and they sent me a complete breakdown of Mo'Nique's makeup look:

[face] Sam Fine described Mo'Nique's Golden Globes look as "classic glamour." He sculpted her face with one of his favorite drugstore foundations for women of color, Black Opal True Color Creme Stick Foundation with SPF 8. Next, he dusted CARGO Bronzer and MAC Bronzing Powder on cheeks to achieve a glowing complexion.

[eyes] Fine chose the #747 in long, a wispy style from the Image Exclusive store in Los Angeles. The #747 is Fine's favorite style and it also comes in small and medium. To make Mo'Nique's eyes pop, Fine reached for Shiseido The Makeup Eyeliner Pencil Duo in Desert Dusk. Instead of using white eyeliner, Fine recommends that for brown-skinned babes, we opt for a beige eyeliner since it is more wearable. He used the Shimmery Beige shade inside the inner rim of the eye to make it appear wider and whiter. For her eyebrows, first he bleached them and then he filled them in with Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Brown.

[lips] Fine topped of Mo'Nique's look with Yves Saint Laurent GOLDEN GLOSS Shimmering Lip Gloss. This gloss contains 0.2% 24k gold, which of course was perfect for our Golden Globe Goddess.

Celebrity makeup artist Matthew van Leeuwen created Dania's People Choice Awards look. In addition to CoverGirl (of course), he also used Cle de Peau, Bobbi Brown, Make Up For Ever, Shiseido, and MAC Cosmetics. Her look actually reminds me of the look he created for Salma Hayek at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards.

face. "After moisturizing with Cle de Peau Beaute Gentle Nourishing Emulsion (Emulsion Tendre), I applied a few dots of CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup in Tawny and blended it all over the face. Then I took Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Golden (#6) and used it as concealer and as a base on the entire eye area to lighten before applying shadow. Make sure to set the entire eye area with powder before you apply dry eyeshadow to avoid streaking."

eyes. "I then took CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast Shadow Stick in Silver Sky and filled the eyelid with it. I then defined the crease with MAKE UP FOR EVER Eyeshadow in Deep Plum Shimmer Iridescent 79. I lined the eye with CoverGirl Perfect Blend Eye Pencil in Basic Black and smudged over it with a deep black eyeshadow for blending. I applied Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Provence to the inner half of the eyelids being careful not to overlap the eyeliner. I finished the eye with 2 coats of CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara in Very Black."

cheeks. "Then I applied CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach all over the cheek and powdered the face. To make the pillows of the cheeks pop I applied a bit of Bobbi Brown Blush in Apricot."

lips. "Finally, I lined the mouth with MAC Lip Pencil Lip Liner in Plum and filled with CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain Lip Color in Plum Pout. Dot a bit of clear gloss on the mouth and she's red carpet ready!"
