Angela Bassett 2014 Emmys Makeup
Late last night, I shot my first email to celebrity makeup artist D’Andre Michael. I followed him months ago after learning he does makeup for Mary J. Blige, Garcelle Beauvais, Queen Latifah and many more of our favorite celebrities. I saw a behind-the-scenes snap of him touching up Angela Bassett on Instagram (@dandremichael) and was compelled to introduce myself and my blog. Angela B looked absolutely REGAL, and I wanted to capture her beat for the blog. It would’ve been criminal of me not to ask the master behind the mug. After I practically begged Mr. Michael for details behind her Emmys makeup look, he sent over an arresting, high-resolution photo, which…

Viola Davis 2014 Emmys Makeup
I haven’t had a Viola Davis beauty breakdown since 2009 – Get Her Exact Look: Viola Davis’s 2009 SAG Awards Makeup – so I was beyond giddy when I scrolled through my newsfeed this morning. Celebrity makeup artist Autumn Moultrie so graciously posted Viola’s complete Emmys beauty breakdown. Now, I am about to share the goodness with you. From her skin care to that pouty red lip, I’ve got it all!

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…

Jill Scott Curly Bob at Get On Up NYC Premiere
On the heels of her “The Beauty & The Brand” brunch (which I, unfortunately, could not attend), Motions celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephens created a curly, sexy look for singer Jill Scott for her appearance at the “Get On Up“ world premiere in NYC at the Apollo Theater on Monday evening. “We were going for a very sexy, curly look to complement her sultry, curve-fitting dress. The overall look was old-Hollywood glam and she definitely pulled it off!” exclaimed Stephen. Here’s how to get the look:

Uzo Aduba White House Makeup
Uzo Aduba by Jessica Smalls: Alter Ego Lashes, Black Opal Beauty, Damone Roberts, and MAC Cosmetics Celebrity makeup artist Jessica Smalls did a glam slam on “Orange Is the New Black” star Uzo Aduba. She was unrecognizable in a sleek and smooth lob, highlighted skin and glossy magenta lips. I’d love to see Suzanne (bka Crazy Eyes) take the sexy route more often! She is wearing Alter Ego Lashes, Black Opal Stick Foundation, Damone Roberts Brow Pencil, MAC Lipstick in Flat Out Fabulous, MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum and MAC Lip Liner in Nightmoth. As for accessories, Uzo donned a pair of Melinda Maria Gold and Gunmetal Pyramid Cluster Earrings and a Darjeeling…
