Janelle Monae hit the orange carpet on Saturday for the 2019 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. The “Dirty Computer” singer seemed all the way in her element, grinning and hitting quirky poses for the cameras all night. We all know Ms. Monae for her larger than life personality which she frequently expresses through her style, fashion and makeup, and tonight was no different. Janelle kept it simple but chic in a cute black and white blazer dress and her signature black pork pie hat, dressed by stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn. Her hair was styled in a Rapunzel-length braid adorned with silver hoops, snatched by longtime hair stylist, Nikki Nelms. While the entire look was a major yes, we were all the way here for Monae’s makeup which was fun and playful in perfect keeping with the tone of the evening. Electric blue liner and lashes pulled focus up to the eyes, where we also found adorable star-shaped beauty marks for an unexpected twist. With warm weather coming up, this is a perfect look for a music festival. Keep reading to learn how to recreate her bold look for less than $75.00.

To recreate any Janelle Monae look, you’ve got to start with flawless skin. After all, she has been the spokeswoman for Covergirl since 2012. Any good face routine starts with primed skin. Try the Maybelline Face Studio Master Prime Primer ($7.99, target.com). The “Blur + Pore Minimize” formula will give you that smooth, poreless finish to set the perfect base for foundation. Next, go in with the Covergirl Vitalist Healthy Elixir Foundation ($11.99, ulta.com) to match Janelle’s natural, skin-like glow. It’s just enough to keep your skin looking like skin, with a lightweight formula that’s comfortable to wear. Now it’s time to bronze. Yes, bronzer is important for black girls, too. Adding warmth and color to the perimeter of the face adds back some of the dimension that a flat layer of foundation strips away. To match Janelle’s bronzy glow, try the e.l.f. Cosmetics Bronzer Palette in Deep ($6.00, target.com).

EYES

Janelle’s eyes were definitely the star of the show. The songstress’ brown eyes popped thanks to a stunning duo of teal eyeliner and mascara. For a similar look, create a classic cat eye using a black liquid liner like the e.l.f. Cosmetics Expert Liquid Liner ($2.00, ulta.com). Add some depth to the eye with a black kohl pencil on the lower waterline. Try the Wet n Wild Icon Kohl Eyeliner ($0.74, target.com). For the pop of blue, line your bottom lash line with the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in “Electric” ($22.00, sephora.com) and hit your top and bottom lashes with a coat of Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Color Blast Colored Mascara in Sea Foam Green ($2.99, wetnwildbeauty.com). Lastly, we can’t forget about the cute star adornments Janelle rocked right atop her cheekbone under her left eye. To get the look, try the Milk Makeup Tattoo Stamp ($12.00, sephora.com).

LIPS

Finally, with an unconventional look like this, it’s important to let the eyes do most of the talking. Keep your lips nude and natural like Janelle’s with an understated pink-nude lippie. Try the Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick in the shade “Baddest Beige” ($6.99, target.com). Voila! You’ve achieved Monae-worthy flyness.
