#CopyThat: Kerry Washington’s Golden Eyes
If a skin care brand figured out how to bottle Kerry Washington’s pregnancy glow from the 2016 Emmys, we’d slather ourselves in every last bit of it. Seeing as that’s likely far from possible, we will happily settle on copying the Scandal star’s golden eyes.
Washington’s gleaming gold shadow was just as spectacular as the big, curly hair (using extensions by her longtime stylist, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew) she rocked on the Emmy red carpet. Pay close attention to makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes in the video above, as she shows us how to get our shine on like the actress. If you need more details, don’t worry — it’s been handled. Just keep reading for all the step-by-step instructions.
