Makeup We Admire?

[Fairybelle]

Raven and Mariah. Mariah, because she always keeps things pretty simple--pinky beige lips and slightly smokey eyes (and she has gorgeous cheekbones). I know, a bit boring, but classically beautiful, even though Mariah and Raven are a little too daring in their fashion statements at times. Still, I think both have absolutely stunning makeup pretty much all the time.

I really like the first picture of Gabrielle Union. I think its really pretty. I would love for my make up to look like that. I LOVE the blue eyeshadow. Does anyone know how to create that look?

Some of my favorites:
Thandie Newton, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Kerry Washington, Penelope Cruz.

I think these women always have incredible makeup and are well styled.

I've always liked Eva Mendez and Mandi Moore for makeup. Also, that one chic from Memoirs of a Geisha. She's beautiful.

Thought of another one: LeToya Luckett:

 

[noahlowryfan]

since there aren't alot of asian american celebrities, i have to admire brenda song and lucy liu's makeup

 

[uberlicious]

I looooooooove Halle Berry's makeup. It's too early in the morning for me, but once my brain is functioning I'll post some more people.

Mo'nique . . . a beautiful woman, in and out . . . her makeup is always wonderful.

Sanaa Lathan and Tamela Jones also wear very nice makeup.

When it comes to the more daring looks in makeup, especially e/s, I must say that the makeup in Dreamgirls was incredible. I love bold e/s and dramatic looks and it was by far the best I'd seen (apart from MAC ads).

I agree with you! The makeup in Dreamgirls is AMAZING! Quote:

I always hung around the "alternative" crowd in school and was always interested in the dark look and had a hard time pulling it off. I couldn't exactly figure out how to make it work for a brown girl. So when I saw Aaliyah with this look I immediately fell inlove and tried my darndest with my little Cover Girl gray eyeshadow and come-with brush to make it work for me but I just couldn't haha (at the time).

An introduction to MAC and looooooooots of practice saved my life.

 

[TangoMango]

I'd have to say Halle Berry, Joy Bryant (she keeps it natural), and Arabic actresses and singers. Oh and how could I forget Aaliyah?!

 

[aziajs]

I am NOT a Garbrielle Union fan AT ALL BUT....she is a beautiful woman and her makeup is flawless. Those pics that were posted were fantastic.

There are so many amazing women of color whose makeup is incredible - Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Rhianna, Beyonce, Letoya, Queen Latifah, I could go on forever. But, one young woman who always amazes me is Alicia Keys:

 

[Dolled Up]

On the same note of Arabic singers, let's not forget Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai.

Soooo gorgeous...her eyes look like jewels in this pic. And that liner is awesome too!

 

[Toya]

I have to agree with those of you who mentioned the Arabic singers/actresses. As a bellydancer, I have used a lot of them for inspiration.

 

[Dolled Up]

haha Just noticed that picture is from Alicia-Keys.net

Never really liked them

[ebonyannette]

I LOVE Mary J. Blige she is always on the cutting edge but still classy with her make up

 

[aziza]

I totally agree ebonyannette...have you seen the "We Ride" video....I swear I was drooling all over myself looking at her makeup. Freakin' awesome. I wonder who does her makeup.
