    Recently, Harper’s Bazaar interviewed some of their favorite celebrities about their 2014 beauty resolutions. Among the interviewees was actress Kerry Washington and supermogul Iman.

    Rihanna AMAs Makeup

    /

    I missed this year’s American Music Awards but thanks to my Instagram feed, I was able to catch the highlights. Of course, Rihanna stole the show. The Empress (as the Navy calls her) won the first-ever Icon Award with a classic cat eye, glowing skin, nude talons…and a smooth doobie. Yes, you read that right: a sleek wrap with bedazzled bobby pins was the look Rihanna chose to accept the special merit award at the American Music Awards. Jessica Andrews breaks down the protective style on Elle.com

    Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup

    The inspiration for Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup was punk chic. As told to Blaq Vixen Beauty by celebrity makeup artist Lucky Smyler. Edited for clarity. Kevyn Aucoin & Urban Decay | Naomie Harris Met Ball Makeup I framed the face by penciling in her eyebrows with Kevyn Aucoin Brow Pencil in Brunette.

    Kerry Washington’s L’Oreal Live UStream Video Makeup

    /

    Naturally gorgeous Kerry Washington recently recorded a L’Oreal Live UStream with her hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew in which she talked about the products that helps keep her hair shiny, healthy and gorgeous. I was extremely happy to learn that she’s a fan of the L’Oreal Everpure products since I invested a couple of products from this line (the EverStrong Overnight Repair Treatment and the EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque.) Celebrity makeup artist Valente Frazier mostly used all L’Oreal products along with a “beautiful baby pink blush” on her cheeks and “a little concealer under her eyes and around the corners of the mouth.” Kerry just looked fabulous all around!
