While country music is often associated with laid-back, rustic vibes, its stars use red carpet moments like the CMA Awards to showcase their designer fashions and dazzling beauty.
Before winning the coveted Artist of the Year award on Wednesday night, Megan Moroney hit the red carpet looking absolutely smashing.
The 'No Caller ID' singer, 27, strutted her stuff in a custom, mermaid-style Christian Siriano gown featuring a strapless bodice and a dramatic skirt and Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
She drew attention to her fun manicure with diamond rings on several of her digits.
In her hands was a custom Edie Parker cultch, emblazoned with her album name, “Am I Ok?"
Megan's long blonde hair was styled in sculpted waves, but it was her flawless makeup-perfectly blended and glowing-that we are dying to replicate!
Fortunately, celebrity makeup artist Jessica Candage isn't keeping her process a secret! And lucky for us, she used very affordable products.
'I wanted to create another makeup look on Megan with some of my favorite affordable products from SHEGLAM for y’all so it here goes - I’ll spill the tea,' said Jessica.
Celebrity makeup artist Jessica Candage has revealed how she created Megan Moroney's stunning makeup look at the CMA Awards
'When thinking about Megan’s CMA look, I really wanted to create balance with such a bold colored dress, which is why I chose soft neutral tones and a beautiful glass-like shimmer for the lid,' Jessica told Daily Mail.
'It complimented her dress and jewelry but didn’t overpower the whole look – it created beautiful synergy.'
The artist started with Sunburst Glow Mixer light/medium cool ($9.99) for a glowy base.
'For a soft pink blush, I used Color Bloom Liquid Blush in Petal Talk ($5.99) and contoured the skin with Sun Sculpt Liquid in Brown Sugar.'
Sun Sculpt Liquid ($5.99) comes in 14 colors and is one of SHEGLAM's most popular items.
It has gained widespread attention for its affordability, blendable formula, and natural-looking finish among beauty enthusiasts.
Jessica then used Lunar Glow Highlighter in Tea Cake ($7.99) for the high points of the cheeks and nose.
Along with the bright color of Megan's Siriano gown, Jessica's makeup tricks helped bright out her baby blues.
'For the eyes I used the Afterglow Palette ($9.99) using Soft Glam and Spritzer in the crease, Rose Quartz on the lid, and Truffle to buff out the lash line for a soft-liner look.
'I used the Lunar Glow Highlighter in Neutron Star ($7.99) on top of the lid for more sparkle.
