Star of ABC’s award winning primetime comedy, Black-ish, and red carpet fave, Yara Shahidi is well on her way to having quite the year, and looks stunning all the while.bcw-yara-shahidi-26

Gorgeous skin like Yara’s is the perfect base for makeup artists to explore different looks. Yara tends to lean more toward earthy tones, subtle bronzes, and soft pinks on her lips and full cheeks to compliment her complexion.bcw-yara-shahidi-21 bcw-yara-shahidi-19

But she loves to bring drama to her eyes every now and then with deep reds.bcw-yara-shahidi-9
