This smouldering eyes look on Andra Day will likely be imitated by beauty connoisseurs soon enough. The metallic bronze-red shadow on the lower lid makes a unique touch to her overall look. (Image: Chris Pizzello-Pool/Getty Images)

Glossy lips have been out of sight since the pandemic thanks to mask-wearing so it was refreshing to see it on Tiara Thomas here. It's a subtle shine but enough to complete her look, which includes perfectly brushed brows and voluminous falsies. (Image: Chris Pizzello-Pool/Getty Images)
