BET Awards 2015: Zendaya’s Bold Beauty Look – All the Scoop and Photos!
The BET Awards are always unpredictable, but we knew one thing for sure: Zendaya Coleman, 18, was going to be doing her usual style chameleon thing — and looking impeccable while she did it. She didn’t disappoint, hitting the red carpet in a sparkling shirtdress, silver sandals and a chic, soft pixie — plus a glam face of makeup to go with. Below, we got the beauty breakdown from her pro, Allan Avendaño for the Sephora Collection.
“I took a glimpse of Zendaya’s shimmering dress tonight and knew I wanted to go for pastel shades and golden skin,” Avendaño tells PEOPLE. “Me kept her makeup soft and used pastel shades to complement the jewel tones of her dress and drastic hair style. Her final look reminded me of a ‘fierce fairy princess.’”
And though Zendaya is an easy client, that doesn’t mean her look was simple. “Zendaya is a huge fan of makeup so we work together to create the overall look, which ended up being a focus on contoured cheeks, defined eyebrows and soft pastel eyeshadows that matched her dress,” he says, adding that, for those at home giving the look at home a shot, “The trickiest element to Zendaya’s look was the contouring. The key to pulling this off is to make sure to blend all your lines together.” (His top products? This Sephora palette and blending brush.)
