"I was inspired by Monica’s sleek black dress and wanted to create a sophisticated, sultry look," said CoverGirl makeup artist Mylah Morales, who created the singer's look for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Clean skin and sculpted eye shadow allowed Monica's understated lips to be front and center. "I used a pinky nude lipstick and punched it up with a sparkly, shell pink lip gloss," said Morales. Layer your lipstick and gloss for a more impactful pout.
