Rihanna Vampy Lips & Tips
Say what you will about Rihanna but the chick has a face made for makeup. How many times have you marveled at celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales’s work? Can you say that you are not moved by Morales’ mastery of luminizer, lashes, and lips? Save it – I don’t believe you…and here’s why.

I’ve been waiting for months for LN to release photos of the actual lip glosses and I finally have a few. It’s a durable and long-lasting black-light lip gloss line dedicated to the vixens who throb in the…

A coveted trend for Spring 2012,…

Loretta Devine Emmys Makeup
“Jumping the Broom” star Loretta Devine arrived at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards in a Deanzign Couture Emerald Green Jersey Dress. I thought she looked superb in this gown! But Ms. Devine needed better support for the girls. Nevertheless, Devine was still one of the best dressed of the evening. She won for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama for her role as Adele Webber on Grey’s Anatomy. Celebrity makeup artist Anthony Merante worked with the Emmy winner last night. He applied Anastasia Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo in My Bedford, pale pink shimmer/ violet sheen combo, “with a damp brush to give it staying power.” Merante coated Devine’s lashes with Anastasia Lash…
