Henson’s makeup artist, Saisha Beecham, revealed to PR reps that she was going for a dramatic look for “The Color Purple” star to match the vibe of the awards. “For Taraji P. Henson’s BET makeup beat, I gave her the VLuxe look using i-ENVY Crystal Glow Lashes in the style “TRILLIANT.” It gave all the drama for culture’s biggest night,” the MUA explained. “I used Kiss New York Professional Pearl Blush Wand in the shade “Bold Begonia” and Kiss New York Professional Pearl Highlight Wand in the shade “Merry Marigold” on the high points of her cheeks to give a quick snatch. I topped that off the rim of her lips with Ruby Kisses Lip Oil Booster in the shade “honey waffles.”

Henson’s BET Awards Hair Details
Not only was Henson’s face card giving unlimited swipes last night, but her different hairstyles took us on a nostalgic musical journey that we didn’t know we needed. Using GHOSTBOND Glow Up and Shark Beauty’s FlexStyle® Sparkle Air Styling & Drying System in Black Diamond, Henson’s hairstylist, Tym Wallace, created various alter ego wig looks inspired by timeless trends, including a classic flipped bob that saluted Diana Ross and a 90s deep side part, shouting out the incomparable Aaliyah. “For an install that is flawless on HD TV, I used Professional Hair Lab’s GHOSTBOND Glow Up to ensure security and a matte finish around the hairline,” Wallace explained to PR reps. “Since we were switching multiple looks, I didn’t want a super strong hold, but I still wanted security, so 1 layer of GHOSTBOND Glow Up was perfect.”

Usher was suave as he basked in the glory of all his achievements at the 2024 BET Awards. His makeup artist Lola Okanlawon made sure the heartthrob was exuding his usual sexy by applying Danessa Myricks Beauty products to his smooth skin. Get the breakdown below.
- To prep Usher’s skin, I used Yummy Skin Water Powder Serum, a multi-action water-to-powder mattifying priming serum that controls shine, refines and soothes skin. I applied it in his T-zone area using my finger to gently press into the skin.
- After prepping the skin, I used Colorfix in shade Dreamsicle to color correct any discoloration or hyperpigmentation.
- After color correcting, I applied the Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint in shade 13 using Mykitco x Danessa Myrick Beauty’s “MY 1“ brush to buff the product into the skin for just enough coverage for a smooth, natural, radiant finish.
- After applying Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint, I used the NEW Yummy Skin Lift + Flex Concealer in shade 14 to brighten his under-eye area. I love how this concealer flexes with your skin to prevent creasing.
- Lastly, to set the makeup, I use Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in shade 8.5 with the Mykitco x Danessa Myrick Beauty’s “MY 14“ brush to help lock in the complexion and set the makeup.
