Amid the headline-making events that took place last week, the hair and makeup looks spotted on Black celebrities were the real MVPs. They accompanied the stars as they broke ceilings, secured the bag, and advocated for societal change, reiterating that “Black girl magic” is truly all-encompassing. From Megan Thee Stallion to Tiwa Savage, A-listers brought the heat, setting the stage for a truly electric second half of 2024.
The Looks
Makeup
Saweetie looked like a literal goddess last week, so much so that we can’t help but bow down to her warm glowy makeup look. Featuring radiant skin, soft blush, smokey eyes, and soft pink gloss, it was a total eye candy. The rapper submitted a masterclass in glam that showcased how to highlight your natural beauty with a subtle touch.
Sometimes, shaking things up with your makeup routine is the easiest way to transform your look, and Maya Jama‘s dramatic graphic eye is the perfect inspiration. Two steps of eyeliner, one thin and the other bold, brought an interesting element to her otherwise understated makeup look. The result was a bold statement that reminded us there’s no single definition of “pretty.” Play with color, experiment with shapes, and embrace the power of a little artistic expression on your eyelids.
Hair
Forget what you think you know about updos because Chloe Bailey’s take is pure elegance. Her intricate locks, held into a face-accentuating updo, testified to the versatility of afro-textured hair, underscoring that class and sophistication come in all forms. Indeed, this is Black girl magic at its finest!
