    Your Complete Fashion Guide to Beyoncé’s ***Flawless

    /

     ***Flawless has been my anthem ever since I first heard it these past few days. The black-and-white video, both gritty and glamorous, has energized my soul with purpose and bravado. This particular scene stood out to me as I recognized the beanie this member of Bey’s gang wore. After unsuccessfully racking my brain for the exact name, I finally Googled and found out where I would be buying my own. It’s the Profound Aesthetic Monarchia Mastermind Beanie in black.

    Recently, celebrity makeup artist Autumn Moultrie chatted with Los Angeles Times’s Melissa Magsaysay about the metallic eye trend that ruled the red carpet season. My go-to metallic shades are bronze and copper, both of which are spectacular on women of color, particularly black women. To complement Oscar nominee Viola Davis’ rich goldenrod-yellow dress at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, the makeup artist gave her what she calls a “glamorous spring” look in green and golds. “Very fresh,” Moultrie says. face.
