Pharrell Glytone Skincare Regimen: Get Lucky!
Let’s get lucky with Pharrell Glytone skincare regimen! Pharrell Williams, once a devout Cetaphil user, has switched up his skincare regimen. Living by the maxim “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” the ageless star laid down the first law of immaculate skin: You have to clean your face. You can’t sit around and assume it’s going to be OK. I wash my face every day – don’t be afraid to wash yours before you go to bed! I, too, used Cetaphil for a spell before switching over to organic, cruelty-free skincare products from black-owned businesses. Sometimes, I use select products from Peter Thomas Roth, GlamGlow, and Ole Henriksen.

Kerry Washington Nude Lipsticks: 14 & Counting

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. For example, for someone with Kerry’s complexion, she could use the same options the Scandal makeup department uses on the actress: Laura Mercier Lip Liner in Hazelnut…

Chaka Khan and Jody Watley Love NARS Cosmetics
What do Chaka Khan and Jody Watley have in common? Both love NARS Cosmetics! I own a few lip products from NARS Cosmetics that I absolutely love. Bad Education Lip Gloss was my first splurge. Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil was the next shade to find a home in my makeup bag. I saw Cassie wearing Funny Face Lipstick in Vibe Magazine, so I snatched it up. Thanks to Kerry Washington, I bought Terre De Feu Pure Matte Lipstick. Valparaiso Pure Matte Lipstick is similar, so I bought it too. Downtown is a unique purple gloss. Heat Wave, a hot blood-orange, is missing in action. Let’s see which NARS products these divas stan…

beautyblender, a Perfect National Pink Day Pick
Happy National Pink Day! In honor of this fun day, I’ll talk about one of my revered pink picks: the original beautyblender. Created by celebrity makeup artist Rea Ann Silva, this is not your usual sponge. You “bounce” it on the skin to apply your makeup. This keeps my face from turning into a layered cake. You never glide it across the skin like a regular sponge nor do you use it dry. You always wet it first for best results. It’s like watching a pink pet grow in the palm of your hand. Besides the great results I get, this is my favorite part of the whole process. It was the…
