One of her must have beauty product is the Rosebud Slave, a cult favourite that is loved by makeup artists and celebrities. ” I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny,” Beyoncé shared with Allure during an interview.

4.  Stay away from using anything that creates shine on the center of the face

“The center of the face should always stay matte,” said Beyoncé’s makeup artist Sir John. “That way, when you take pictures straight on you won’t look oily or shiny.”
