    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:

    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…

    Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1

    /

    Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious. She satisfies my desires for all things dark and dangerous. And of course, as I am in love with her wardrobe! According to costume designer Lisa Padovani, Jada’s leather and metallic dress as “80’s Versace/Mugler inspired.” Three parts Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Griselda Blanco and Norma Desmond, I love that Jada is on this show. I love that she…

    Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick on #Scandal: Get Her Look 6 Ways

    /

    Without fail, I receive numerous requests for “Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick.” You can find all the information I’ve gleaned thus far in this post. I’ve compiled information about Olivia Pope’s mauve, pink and nude lip looks from the hit Scandal TV show. First up, let’s review lip liners from Laura Mercier, MAC Cosmetics and Chantecaille: Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Hazelnut Tea MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Nice ‘N’ Spicy Chantecaille Lip Definer in Discreet Nice ‘N’ Spicy debuted in MAC Cosmetics’s Fall 2011 Styledriven collection but is now permanent. It is a “pink cinnamon stick,” but beauty blogger Temptalia offered a more authentic description: A medium-dark brown with warmer,…
