From her vivacious personality to her sizzling looks, Cardi B always knows how to leave a lasting impression. For the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards it was all about fiery eyes, blinding highlight and a glossy lip to match her seductive Deviant La Vie dress.
Cardi’s key makeup artist Erika La Pearl always delivers memorable beauty moments on the Grammy winner, and naturally MTV’s biggest night in music was no exception. Using a variety of Pat McGrath Labs products Erika created a soft, yet sultry look that brought the heat. Warm twinkling eyes, glowing skin and a nude matte lip (a favorite of Cardi’s) made this glam one of the best beauty looks of the night.
