MAC Viva Glam Rihanna: Black Women Love Her!
Soon as it was announced that Rihanna was MAC’s new spokesperson for their wildly popular Viva Glam campaign for 2014, many criticized the Canadian brand’s lack of ingenuity. 2013 was Rihanna’s bitch, to paraphrase a line from her infamous song “Birthday Cake.” And now, her next target is 2014’s MAC Viva Glam campaign. And I’m here for it!

Kerry Washington Nude Lipsticks: 14 & Counting
Kerry Washington nude lipsticks: let’s examine. Kerry Washington’s signature pinky-nude lipstick as Olivia Pope is pretty epic so I thought I’d continue the trend by identifying similar shade she’s worn throughout the years. She sets the standard for habitual nude lipstick wearers everywhere, wouldn’t you say? This dimension, as celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine prefers, is what makes a nude lipstick truly ready-to-wear for brown skin.
