    Uzo Uduba Creative Arts Emmy Awards Makeup

    /

    Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba was one of Saturday’s biggest winners at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. She nabbed “Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” for the uber-popular Netflix series (I kid you not, this whole “guest actress” business is throwing me for a loop though). For her big day, she enlisted the help of dynamic duo celebrity hairstylist Jamika Wilson and celebrity makeup artist Jessica Smalls. And doing what I do best, here is how you can get her exact makeup look!

    Uzo Aduba by Jessica Smalls: Alter Ego Lashes, Black Opal Beauty, Damone Roberts, and MAC Cosmetics Celebrity makeup artist Jessica Smalls did a glam slam on “Orange Is the New Black” star Uzo Aduba. She was unrecognizable in a sleek and smooth lob, highlighted skin and glossy magenta lips. I’d love to see Suzanne (bka Crazy Eyes) take the sexy route more often! She is wearing Alter Ego Lashes, Black Opal Stick Foundation, Damone Roberts Brow Pencil, MAC Lipstick in Flat Out Fabulous, MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum and MAC Lip Liner in Nightmoth. As for accessories, Uzo donned a pair of Melinda Maria Gold and Gunmetal Pyramid Cluster Earrings and a Darjeeling…
