Venezuelan-born celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Gabriel Samra has glammed up the likes of global influencers such as Chiara Ferragni, Pam Allier, Paulina Goto and Michelle Salas; top Latina stars such as Ana Brenda Contreras, Chiquis Rivera, Maite Perroni and some of the world’s biggest athletes during his time at Rio Summer Olympic Games as the P&G Lead Stylist including Team USA Women’s Basketball Star Elena Delle Donne, Tennis Superstar Caroline Wozniacki, and many more.

Gabriel's love for beauty motivates him to perfect his craft with coloring - he is the King of Balayage- cutting, styling, both hair and makeup trends, and much more. Samra owns a hair salon in Coral Gables, a Miami’s chic community perfect to experience beauty and become a work of art in a stylish and inviting sanctuary.

Thanks to his undeniable charisma and expert knowledge, national/local media and global brands call to him to provide on/off-camera commentary around beauty and fashions trends. We also wanted to be part of his artistic abilities and contacted him. His excitement was evident and after a brainstorming we came up with the idea of a "Chiquis Rivera Look Tutorial."

Follow the step-by-step of Chiquis’ signature look! A gorgeous smokey eye and soft voluminous waves.

• Step 1: Fill in brows for a bold brow look using Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW Pomade.

• Step 4: Then take a dark metallic dusty rose right above the crease as a transition color.
