    Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1

    /

    Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious.

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.
