Taraji P. Henson practically glowed and seriously twinkled on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. The Hidden Figures star wore a sheer and sexy gown from Reem Acra. Why shouldn't she be glowing all night long, she and the cast of the film won the Outstanding Performance by a Motion Picture Cast Award.

Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff collaborated with Taraji on her look. “Getting ready for the SAGs is actually a fun process,” shares Ashunta in a press release. “Taraji is very zen and relaxed its the glam team who’s not. We listen to great music and laugh but most importantly she makes sure we have fun.”

Want to recreate the look yourself? Here are the step-by-step directions courtesy of Ashunta.

"I prepped her skin by using Dermaflash, which allows me to get the highest level of exfoliation plus it removes unwanted peach fuzz, so skin care products work ten times better.

Skin

I used Kate Somerville Goat Milk De-Puffing Eye Balm to decrease puffiness and hydrate eyes. Then I used the brand’s DermalQuench Liquid Lift and Quench Oil Free Hydrating Face Serum. Both of these products work together to plump, hydrate and give skin that superior radiant glow.

I applied Dior Airflash CC Primer to create an even canvas for makeup application. I love that is also has a radiance booster.

Next, I used Perfect Blend by Ashunta Sheriff in Tan to create a natural, glowing, contoured and lifted canvas.
Set everything with Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana, which is great for warm skin tones."

Eyes

"I wanted a soft rose glow affect so I used Taraji's MAC Collection Highlight The Truth on the lid just tapping with my finger and using a MAC 266 angle brush on lower lash line for a soft smokey affect.  Then I added Taraji Glow, a coppery gold highlight in corner of the eyes and center of eyes so they popped.

I took her eyes to the next level with Cozzette Brushes and Eyeshadows. I added Penultimate Eye Liner from Taraji's MAC collection to give a tight precise line on the top lash line and then added two coats on top and bottom lashes with MAC Haute & Naughty -- Too Black Lash Mascara. I  completed her eyes with Damone Roberts Minx Brow Pencil for brows.
Finishing Touches

For cheeks, I added a soft subtle warmth with Maybelline Crème Blush Stick and highlighted cheekbones with Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit.

I lined her lips with MAC Cosmetics Plum Lip liner, adding MAC Cosmetics Amplified Lipstick and shining them with a touch of MAC Cosmetics Lipglass.

Finally, I set her pout with Model in a Bottle Makeup Setting Spray, Sensitive Formula for Lips."
