    Marjorie Harvey Steve Harvey Show Makeup

    /

    Did you catch Marjorie and Lori Harvey on The Steve Harvey Show today? I just happened to catch the latest episode while getting my gel nails filled. The mom-daughter duo embarked on a 21-day fitness transformation with another mother-daughter team: Ellen and Lana Ector of Gymnastics Fitness. Marjorie opted for a Gucci Resort 2016 Chantilly-Lace Embroidered Dress to showcase her enviable bod as well as an equally splendid beatdown by makeup artist Courtney Gower. The details as follows:

    Lupita Nyong’o for Lancome: See All Her Ads Thus Far

    /

    For weeks following the Oscars, legions of Lupita fans waited anxiously for news of the starlet to snag a beauty contract (we’ve been waiting to hear if Nyong’o had any major movie roles lined up, but we’ll gladly have our dessert now before the main course). And thanks to WWD, she has a new role: the newest face for French makeup and skin care monolith Lancôme. Since Lancôme is such a lucrative deal for the striking Academy Award winning-actress, this will keep us satiated until we hear more promising updates about her blossoming acting career. I checked out celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose’s Instagram feed to see if he participated in this glorious…

    Black Celebrity Beauty ID: Lupita Nyong’o’s Clarins Lip Balm

    /

    I love when black actresses share their favorite beauty products…and this year, besides learning about her love for face oils, Lupita Nyong’o revealed her go-to lip balm. Shortly after delivering an eloquent, heart-wrenching speech for her Best Supporting Actress win, Nyong’o found herself badgered by none other than Ellen Degeneres. The Oscar host strolled the aisles with Pharrell’s famous Vivienne Westwood Mountain hat, hounding various A-listers for pizza money and tips. Your stock just went up, you’ve got some money now Lupita!

    Here are some of my most revered beauty items on sale now this week, in collaboration with ShopStyle, Amazon, and other e-tailers: Beauty Items on Sale: Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose chatted with Harper’s Bazaar about the look he created for actress Lupita Nyong’o at last night’s Non-Stop LA Premiere. Pantone’s spring 2014 color is Dazzling Blue, so it was fitting for Nyong’o to arrive with a set of metallic, bedazzled blue peepers to complement her copper Lanvin creation. Bypassing blue mascara, Barose instead applied Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue. He then coated the base of the…
