11 of Whitney Houston's Most Dazzling Beauty Looks

11 of Whitney Houstons Most Dazzling Beauty Looks
On what would have been her 60th birthday, Vogue takes a look back at her best beauty moments.

Whitney Houston would have been 60 today. One of the bestselling artists of all time, not only did she have an unforgettable voice—one that sold over 220 million records around the world—she also knew her way around a stellar beauty look. From those bounteous curls to her eyeshadow and lipstick combos (pastel purple shadow with red lipstick was a favorite), her look was every bit as show-stopping as her vocals. With her magnetic performances and dazzling smile, she is remembered as a queen of R&B.

In celebration of her birthday, Vogue takes a look at some of Houston’s best beauty moments.
