    Lori Harvey Nude Lips: 7 Lip Looks to Try Now

    /

    Welcome to my first Lori Harvey Nude Lips roundup! I literally stalked celebrity makeup artist Sean Harris’s IG for this information. Lori’s best friend, celebrity makeup artist, Courtney Kareem, is another fave of mine for beauty tips. I am always extremely grateful for professionals like Harris and Kareem. They not only post beauty breakdowns but answer fans’ queries! I found a few answers to my own questions this way. Let’s get into these nude lip looks:

    Doja Cat Skin Care Prep for the 2022 Billboard Awards Prepping the skin is essential for a glowing complexion. I used my favorite The Ordinary and DECIEM products to create a well hydrated and healthy complexion as a base for my makeup. I first cleansed Doja’s skin using the Squalane Cleanser. I then flooded the skin with a combination of Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. As the final step to my skin prep, I applied a generous layer of Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. –Celebrity makeup artist Ernesto Casillas

    Ashanti Hollywood Walk of Fame Makeup

    Ashanti finally received her star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame today! I didn’t realize it’s been at least 20 years since her eponymous studio album debuted in 2002. Can you believe I’ve never had a beauty breakdown for her until now? Celebrity makeup artist Erika La’Pearl so graciously shared product details to her Instagram. She also uploaded behind-the-scenes closeups of Ashanti’s makeup for her memorable day. Honestly, I wish more makeup artist uploaded makeup details like La’Pearl. It makes writing encyclopedic entries for my blog so much easier. Anyway, let’s get into the glam!
