Naomi Sharon Dishes About Her Tems Tour Beauty Looks

From a young age, Dutch singer Naomi Sharon could see her future. “Around three or four I was already intrigued by music,” Sharon tells ESSENCE. “If I saw someone on TV, I would be like, ‘oh, that’s going to be me.’ I always had a dream that I wanted to do it.” The emotional depth of her sound can be credited to not only being born into a music-centric family, but also her being inspired by a number of culture-bending genres.

Currently as the opener for Tems’s Born in the Wild Tour, the beauty of Sharon’s sound, skin, and makeup are turning heads and perking ears. As for her beauty routine? “I love Korean skincare,” she says. “I think that they’re living in the future. I am addicted to [a brand called] Medicube,” she adds about the viral brand known for their Age-R Booster device.

When it comes to makeup, the cool-toned enthusiast channels Madonna, of course, with her eyeshadow palettes from Makeup By Mario and Huda Beauty. “I like to try new things every show, but I’m never doing warm tones,” she explains. Her natural beauty is not limited to her face, chopping off her hair to put a hard stop to her weave fixation. “I was addicted, the only way to stop was to just chop it off,” she says.
