    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…

    Uzo Uduba Creative Arts Emmy Awards Makeup

    /

    Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba was one of Saturday’s biggest winners at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. She nabbed “Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” for the uber-popular Netflix series (I kid you not, this whole “guest actress” business is throwing me for a loop though). For her big day, she enlisted the help of dynamic duo celebrity hairstylist Jamika Wilson and celebrity makeup artist Jessica Smalls. And doing what I do best, here is how you can get her exact makeup look!

    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…

    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…
