In celebration of Nelly Furtado’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and her big night at the 2026 JUNO Awards, celebrity makeup artist Susana Hong crafted a “skin-first” masterpiece. Inspired by Armani Beauty’s “Power of You” philosophy, the look was all about effortless luminosity, natural dimension, and a soft-rose pink lip—striking the perfect chord between classic elegance and contemporary edge.
Ready to glow like a global icon? Here is the full breakdown of Nelly’s award-winning glam:
The Complexion Base
- Targeted Glow: Susana started with Luminous Silk Illuminating Primer, applying it primarily to the upper cheekbones for a hit of targeted radiance.
- The Foundation Duo: For the main base, she used NEW Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 3.5, then switched to shade 7 around the perimeter of the face to add a touch of warmth.
- The Finishing Touch: Luminous Silk Multi-Purpose Concealer in shade 4.5 was used to brighten and perfect.
Sculpt & Glow
- The Flush: To achieve that natural, soft-pink glow, Susana layered Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in shade 53S and buffed it with a hint of shade 65.
- Sun-Kissed Contour: Luminous Silk Bronzing Powder in shade 90 was used to softly blend the contour and keep the look feeling warm and cohesive.
Eyes & Lips
- Soft Focus Eyes: The eyes were defined using Eye Tint Long-lasting Liquid Eyeshadow (shades 12S and 22M) and finished with Vertigo Lift Mascara for maximum impact.
- The Perfect Pout: The look was anchored by a high-shine, soft-rose finish using Prisma Glass Gloss in shade 02 Candy Halo.
This luminous, confident look perfectly mirrors Nelly’s evolution as a powerhouse in Canadian music. —Noa Nichol
