She’s undeniably one of the brightest shining afro-pop stars on the planet, who often, nowadays, hit the stage with sparkling, glowing skin, so we aren’t surprised to see Yemi Alade disclose her beauty secrets to Vogue. According to the singer, back in the day, her makeup was like a “personal hurricane was hitting her face.”
“You should see my makeup from [the early] days,” she told Vogue. “I’m not sure what I was thinking. “It was like my own personal hurricane was hitting my face.”
In the new episode of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets, Yemi walked the media powerhouse through her performance-ready makeup routine — from using a charcoal soap for cleansing, and natural coconut oil to moisturize her skin, to brushing up her brows and filling in the arches with a dark brown Maybelline pencil.
Watch her full routine below to learn what makes the afro-pop singer glow as such on the stage.
