Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1
Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious. She satisfies my desires for all things dark and dangerous. And of course, as I am in love with her wardrobe! According to costume designer Lisa Padovani, Jada’s leather and metallic dress as “80’s Versace/Mugler inspired.” Three parts Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Griselda Blanco and Norma Desmond, I love that Jada is on this show. I love that she…

Kerry Washington 2014 Emmys Makeup
Kerry Washington by Carola Gonzalez: Neutrogena, Kevyn Aucoin and Dior skin. Kerry’s skin is always exalted as “naturally flawless” so I’ll continue with the accolades. I’m sure Gonzalez followed a similar regimen in preparing Kerry for this year’s Emmys: Prep the skin with Neutrogena Visibly Even Moisturizer to even out her skin tone, apply foundation where needed (Kerry usually wears Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #9 but Gonzalez used Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX11) and add a touch of warmth with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Natural Radiance Bronzer in Sunkissed. Based on the behind-the-scenes snap shared on Twitter, Kerry is also wearing Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Bronzer and Blush Duo in Raisin Glow, a “universal…

And now, thanks to Mylah’s assistant stealing her phone, I have all the details! “My inspiration for Rihanna’s look was her dress and her head wrap,” Morales said. “The minute I saw them, I knew immediately what I was going to do. I texted [Rihanna] and said, ‘Give me your face. I can’t wait to create!'” Rihanna CFDA Makeup: Keri Lotion Sultry smokey eyes and a sexy nude mouth were the order of the night. With MAC on deck, Morales used a dash…

Taraji P. Henson Think Like a Man Too LA Premiere Makeup
This past Monday, the photogenic Think Like a Man Too cast graced the red carpet for the LA premiere hosted at TCL Chinese Theatre. Taraji P. Henson arrived in a KAYAT Fall 2014 Cranberry Hand Beaded Halter Gown (according to the brand’s Facebook page). This is the same dress Avenue Magazine highlighted in their coverage of KAYAT’s Fall 2014 collection, which was shown exclusively at Marina B boutique during New York Fashion Week back in February: One piece that stood out was a red embroidered halter dress featuring a pattern derivative of the Berber nomads of Northern Africa, and delicately embellished with Swarovski crystals. I am on the fence about the print and the plunging…

Celebrity Nail ID: Kat Graham’s NCLA Nail Wraps in Jenna’s Nude Moon
Celebrity nail stylist (fancy, huh?) Karen Gutierrez shared this behind the scenes look of Kat Graham wearing NCLA Nail Wraps in Jenna’s Nude Moon. Last year, actress Rachel McAdams (of The Notebook fame) tried on the minimalist mani on for size for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and at the premiere of her movie To The Wonder. I thought about buying these to wear in uniform but balked as I didn’t know how they would look on women of color. I’m about 2 to 3 shades darker than Kat but her nails look amazing! I can imagine how they would look against richer skin tones. Get yours at Shop NCLA and don’t forget to sign up for…
