As you might know, I consider Nia Long as one of my girl crushes. Last month, I posted her entire skin care regimen but never had the pleasure of posting what products were used to create one of her beauty looks. Well, if you caught Long on "The View" this past Tuesday, you might have noticed that she was glowing more than usual. Celebrity makeup artist Saisha Beecham said that she knew that Nia "would be wearing a coral Rachel Roy [Fold-Neck] Dress, so I wanted to give her a subtle peachy/coral look." You can check out more of Saisha Beecham's work at her website. You can also follow her on Twitter at @saishabeecham.
Get the look!

Yesterday I finally picked up the March 2011 issue of Essence Magazine (with Angela Bassett on the cover). I was looking forward to a couple of features in this particular issue - the Essence 2011 Beauty Awards, Angela Bassett's "Unstoppable" and of course, Amber Riley's "She's Every Woman" photoshoot. I shot celebrity makeup artist Saisha Beecham an email after she revealed that she did Riley's makeup on Facebook.
For a moment, I honestly didn't think I would get this exclusive but Saisha came through last night. I am totally grateful that she emailed me back and I'm able to share this information with you all! She used all NARS Cosmetics. You can check out her profile on the Tamu Artist Agency website. For even more information, check out her website, her Facebook and Twitter.
Amber Riley is such a scene-stealer, thanks to Saisha Beecham!

Earlier, I managed to chat with celebrity makeup artist Saisha Beecham on Twitter. She did Melanie Fiona's makeup for the 2011 Grammys. It seems like everyone was saying how amazing and beautiful Melanie looked on the red carpet and I agree. I knew that it was going to be challenging to get a full beauty breakdown of Fiona's look. However, I did manage to learn some of the products and brands Beecham used:
[face] Will you check out that fabulous glow? Beecham used the NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Loose Pearl Shadow in Yellow Gold. She said, "It's really sheer and reflects the light!" That's a makeup idea to try: use eyeshadow as a blush. Why don't you try this golden chrome cheek paint tutorial?
[eyes] For Fiona's shimmery smokey eyes, Beecham used eyeshadows from her Le Metier de Beaute Le Cirque Kaleidoscope Eye Kits. Again, I didn't ask which shades (I should've!) but hopefully later on this week, I can get more information! Fiona is also wearing Smoke and Mirrors Beauty Hollywood Lashes.
