The Ten-Minute Beyoncé Makeup Look That Began a Friendship
In 2002, a makeup artist named Roncal was suddenly asked to prepare Beyoncé for a movie premiere.
Beyoncé was wearing a shiny gold dress but had not yet had her makeup done.
Roncal noticed that Beyoncé already had beautiful-looking skin.
Instead of using lots of makeup, Roncal decided to keep the look simple.
She used a little concealer, foundation, eye shadow, mascara, blush and groomed brows.
She finished everything in about 10 minutes.
Beyoncé was surprised because makeup usually took her about two hours.
The quick makeup job helped begin a long friendship between them.
In late July 2002, Roncal was rushed to do Beyoncé’s makeup for a film premiere.
Beyoncé was already dressed in a gold, bejeweled slip dress when Roncal arrived.
Roncal chose minimal makeup instead of the more elaborate looks commonly used at the time.
The look included concealer, minimal foundation, bronze shadow, mascara, combed brows and pink blush.
Roncal finished in 10 minutes, surprising Beyoncé, who said makeup usually took two hours.
