Beyoncé Knowles as Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember
Make-up designed by Michele Burke / Applied by Kate Biscoe
As Austin Powers' foxy '70s flame, Destiny's Child Beyoncé is all about "big lashes, liner with lots of flare, and super glossy lips," says make-up designer Michele Burke.

Foundation - Black Opal in Heavenly Honey
Concealer - Black Opal in Honey
Powder - Chanel Translucent No.3
Cheeks - Shu Uemura powder blush in Rust, and Shu Uemura Cherry blush on apples of cheeks.
Eyes - Varied for every look depending on the outfit. She wore very warm shades (lots of yellows, golds, oranges) and basically her shadow color matched her clothes. For instance (in the picture to the left in all gold) she wore a mixture of yellow/gold and bronze glitter all over lids, her lashes were from Naimies (style #80), and mini black rhinestones were applied over black creme liner by MAC, which ran along lash line. When she wears the green hat, her shadow is a periwinkle green color and her lashes are "pixie" lashes (#302). For the pattern eye (in green leather outfit, not pictured) they used a stencil over gold shadow, and painted little black dots on lids.
Eye liner - The inside rim of her eyes was always lined with a black pencil. MAC Crème liner in black was used to line along her lashes and alway swept up at outer corners.
Brows - Nicely defined with a dark brown pencil by Max Factor
Lashes - Chanel Instant Lash mascara in Black. As previously mentioned, lashes were a big part of her look. The make-up team used a variety of different styles of lashes from Naimies Beauty Supply in Los Angeles. Mostly used styles #80 and #302.
Lips - Benefit lip pencil in Smolder with clear MAC Lipglass was the staple lip look. Depending on outfits, glitter was mixed with the gloss.
Body Make-up - Max Factor Lasting Performance in Bronze

 

Beyoncé Knowles in Dream Girls

Beyoncé Knowles in Dreamgirls
Make-up by Francesca Tolot
In Dreamgirls, Beyoncé Knowles plays Deena Jones, a member of a singing trio called The Dreams. Here, she’s shown in the midst of “One Night Only,” a disco song. Knowles was showered with glitter before the scenes were filmed. Make-up artist Francesca Tolot was inspired to create this look after she saw the sequined, thrillingly reflective costume.

Foundation: La Mer The Treatment Fluid Foundation in Tan and Caramel mixed with Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Tan.
Cheeks: For blush, Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder #2 mixed with Nars blush in Lovejoy.
Powder: La Mer The Powder in Translucent.
Eye shadow and eyeliner: White glitter from a craft store; MAC Glitter in Purple, Jewelmarine and 3-D Gold; MAC Glitter liquid eyeliner in Divine Lime. Tolot followed the natural shape of Knowles’ eyes when lining them, resulting in a bold almond contour. She extended the white glitter upwards, so that it touched Knowles’ eyebrows.
Mascara: L’Oreal Double Extend in Blackest Black.
False lashes: MAC’s 5 Lash and Ardell’s Runway Claudia.
Brows: Tolot used no product, leaving the focus on the shape and grooming of the brows. This contrasts this with the beginning of the film, when Deena’s less refined look required Tolot to thicken the brows.
Lips: L’Oreal Colour Juice in Sugar Coated.
Working with this face: Tolot says Knowles “has a great face, which is great for make-up.” She notes that Knowles “has just the perfect amount of space between her eyebrows and eyelashes.”
