lean, easy, and authentic are some of the words that characterize the best beauty looks from last week. Clean being that the strokes and curves were executed in pristine quality. Other than that, each look gave off an effortless air that easily spoke volumes without even trying. And let’s not forget the reign of authenticity as each woman opted for a face card that was more her than anyone else. In all, last week’s offering was a delightful assembly of beauty inspirations that any Black girl would find useful.
The Looks
Makeup
Music icon Toni Braxton caused a stir last week in a flowy leopard-print number by Sergio Hudson. Of course, the outfit was absolutely gorgeous, but what really stole our heart was the face beat she complemented it with. The look was both subtle and effortless, yet managed to be sexy. This is in part due to how well her eyes were accentuated and largely thanks to her natural sex appeal. We didn’t forget that.
Elsewhere, South African movie star, Thuso Mbedu embodied cute in every sense of the word. As she showed up for the premiere of Netflix’s The Gray Man, she did so dolled up to the T and the result was OMG-ish adorable! From her lightly-filled brows to her bright pink eyeshadow and charming smile, every element of the look correctly played its part. The result is a well-balanced look that communicates easy, breezy, beautiful. Surely, a solid makeup inspiration for Black girls.
Hair
If there’s one celebrity who understands the art of styling locs, it’ll definitely be Halle Bailey. Week after week, the songstress endeavors to update her locs-game and she nails it every time. Last week, the theme was likely flower girl as her stylist creatively transformed her two-tone locs into petals that adorned her head and the sides of her face. We’re totally diggin’ it.
