Alicia Keys is a multifaceted talent who not only captivates audiences with her music but also radiates positivity and warmth wherever she goes. Behind the scenes of her recent PEOPLE digital cover shoot, her glam squad consisting of makeup artist Ayako Yoshimura, hairstylist Tanya “Nena” Melendez, and stylist Jason Bolden worked together to create a look that perfectly captured Keys' luminous aura.
Yoshimura's goal was to enhance Alicia Keys' natural features and bring out her inner light. The makeup artist opted for a minimalistic yet glowing glam, which complemented Bolden's vibrant wardrobe choices. To achieve Keys' luminous complexion, Yoshimura used products from Keys Soulcare, the singer's own beauty line. The Let Me Glow Illuminating Serum served as a primer, while the It's Like Skin 2-in-1 Concealer + Tint (shade 340W) provided additional coverage. Yoshimura added a natural flush of color with the punchy pink Sheer Flush Cheek Tint in shade Powerful and highlighted Keys' eyelids, cheeks, and nose tip with the Gleam On Highlighting Balm. For a subtle coral lip, she mixed the Comforting Tinted Lip Balm with the cheek tint.
