The Way I Are

Kerri Hilson first caught our attention as the female vocalist on Timbaland's The Way I Are (I prefered her hair in that video too), then she did a follow-up with Timbaland and Nicole 'Scream'. Ho hum. Then she was a rather scandalous looking (well Tameka got mighty stressed about it) love interest in Usher's 'Make Love In This Club' video. And now she's launched her debut solo single 'Energy'/

I'm no beauty aficionado, but these tips from Kerri Hilson's make up artist sound interesting so I'm sure more than a few of us might pick up a tip or two from her make up artist Romero.

This pic is of her backstage before going on air for MTV's TRL.

Romero tells us how to get Kerri's fab look (with a little help from MAC, of course):

1. Pump-up lashes, top and bottom, with two coats of Prep + Prime mascara.
2. Add one heavy winter coat of Plushlash mascara in Plushblack.
3. Add MAC's #7 lashes. Cut them into fine pieces and place on top lashes.
4. Prime skin with Prep + Prime Skin and polish with a sheer coat of Moistureblend Foundation.
5. Highlight face with Moisturelush Eye Cream and contoured Matte Bronzer.
6. Use Creme de Violet eye shadow as a liner/shadow under the eye, and frame with Saddle and Black Tied shadows.
