    Lupita Nyong’o for Lancome: See All Her Ads Thus Far

    /

    For weeks following the Oscars, legions of Lupita fans waited anxiously for news of the starlet to snag a beauty contract (we’ve been waiting to hear if Nyong’o had any major movie roles lined up, but we’ll gladly have our dessert now before the main course).

Shortly after delivering an eloquent, heart-wrenching speech for her Best Supporting Actress win, Nyong’o found herself badgered by none other than Ellen Degeneres. The Oscar host strolled the aisles with Pharrell’s famous Vivienne Westwood Mountain hat, hounding various A-listers for pizza money and tips. Your stock just went up, you’ve got some money now Lupita!

    /

    Here are some of my most revered beauty items on sale now this week, in collaboration with ShopStyle, Amazon, and other e-tailers: Beauty Items on Sale: Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose chatted with Harper’s Bazaar about the look he created for actress Lupita Nyong’o at last night’s Non-Stop LA Premiere. Pantone’s spring 2014 color is Dazzling Blue, so it was fitting for Nyong’o to arrive with a set of metallic, bedazzled blue peepers to complement her copper Lanvin creation. Bypassing blue mascara, Barose instead applied Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue. He then coated the base of the…
