    #Scandal 4 x 1: Back to Life From the Beach

    /

    Situation at the Location: Livin’ La Vida Pacífica In the opening scene of “Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia,” Olivia (a.k.a. Julia Baker) has gotten her life on the coast of Zanzibar. Curly, bouncy natural hair reigned supreme for the political fixer since we last saw her. Her beach was better with a pair of Dior Exquise Sunglasses, her Monique Pean White Diamond & Gold Cage Ring, a white Kosmos by La Perla Mare Non-Wired Swimsuit, a Roberta Freyman Nicola Dress Magik…and Jake. I imagined the former B-613 operative bathing her in countless ounces of Coola Body SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer. These moments happened, of course, between rounds of sultry beach sex. Olivia’s lip-of-the-day, always, was…

    Kerry Washington by Carola Gonzalez: Neutrogena, Kevyn Aucoin and Dior skin.  Kerry’s skin is always exalted as “naturally flawless” so I’ll continue with the accolades. I’m sure Gonzalez followed a similar regimen in preparing Kerry for this year’s Emmys: Prep the skin with Neutrogena Visibly Even Moisturizer to even out her skin tone, apply foundation where needed (Kerry usually wears Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #9 but Gonzalez used Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX11) and add a touch of  warmth with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Natural Radiance Bronzer in Sunkissed. Based on the behind-the-scenes snap shared on Twitter, Kerry is also wearing Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Bronzer and Blush Duo in Raisin Glow, a “universal…

    Iman & Kerry Share Their 2014 Beauty Resolutions

    /

    Recently, Harper’s Bazaar interviewed some of their favorite celebrities about their 2014 beauty resolutions. Among the interviewees was actress Kerry Washington and supermogul Iman. Remove all of my makeup before I go to sleep regardless of how I feel! Iman This one was quite easy as Harper’s Bazaar also did a “day in the life of” feature on Iman for their December 2010 issue. Of course, this was over three years ago but let’s see what the Somalian stunner used for her bedtime routine:

    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. Nude shades and pink (tones) can get lost against rich skin tones, so I use brown lip liner for definition.
