    You know how you normally can’t download photos, videos, and stories from other people’s IG accounts? Well, I’ve been using Inflact, which is an incredibly nifty service that allows you to download everything I mentioned above including reels, IGTV episodes, media from Facebook, Twitter and even TikToks. I wish Inflact was available when Kelly Rowland was doing GRWM lives/stories for her X-Factor appearances. I distinctly remember being bummed that I couldn’t download a specific makeup video she uploaded her to her profile some years back. She uploaded herself wearing a metallic smokey blue eye and nude lip combo then – if I remember correctly. You can see more of her…

    Eugena Washington Skin Tones Makeup | Bellus

    /

    Eugena Washington skin tones, these makeup tutorials are for you! Content has been edited for clarity. One of my favorite models, Eugena Washington, took to social media to give her skin twinning fans her everyday makeup look. In the age of dramatic Instagram makeup, this simple beauty routine is refreshing. Washington reveals: I’ve always hated the term ‘beating your face.’ I believe that makeup should be used to highlight the the things you think are beautiful about yourself, not to create a mask that covers you up. A lot of us are all looking the same these days and it feels super boring. Being able to express yourself exactly the way you are. To me,…

    Black-Owned Lip Colors for National Lipstick Day

    /

    Can you use some black-owned lip colors for National Lipstick Day? Blaq Vixen Beauty is on the case!  Happy National Lipstick Day! A few years ago, I rounded up a quick list featuring best selling MAC pink lipstick colors on black women. This year, I want to help put black-owned makeup brands (BOMBs) in the spotlight. There are five lip colors I think every woman should own: a notable nude a reliable red a posh pink a werk it wine a vivacious violet With this aim in mind, I sought out photos of celebrities wearing five popular black-owned lip colors. If you’re looking to support more beauty brands that are for us, by us,…

    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:

    Shopping #Empire: Cookie Lyon Prison Visit Makeup

    /

    Last season, I yearned to know what products the Empire makeup department used on their leading ladies. I was absolutely famished for beauty tidbits so I hit up IMDB to see who was working in Empire‘s makeup department. I briefly exchanged tweets with the show’s chief makeup artist Beverly Jo Pryor (who was so warm and generous) for a time, asking what shades Taraji wore in certain scenes and with particular outfits. Unfortunately, there was not much she could divulge but I understood. As for Anika, Grace Gealey replied to me and another fan on the ‘Gram to say her makeup artist Jessica Williams used MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour in ALL Nighter on her in the episode “False Imposition.” Did you know? You can…
