Make Up & Celebrity looks & best kept tutorials via Tiffany Powell Me Teyana Taylor: rocking this royal blue “Harlem Knight” Ka’oir matte lipstick. I love this picture because she is giving you beautiful lips, eyes and so much sexiness at the same time. Kelly Rowland: giving us Spring and Summer. I love this look because of the bright colors. Kelly matched her tangerine dress with an engraved black liner, and similar color lips. This entire look werks! Janelle Monae: Every women should have a shade of red in their purse. Janelle is giving us simple, yet gorgeous and elegant all at the same time. You are drawn directly to her lips, with one of her signature lip colors. She is looking nothing less then flawless. “Wear the makeup, don’t let it wear you.” What inspires your tutorials? I can’t say that I have inspirations. I do tutorials to show women how to apply the right amount of make up, to get a complete gorgeous look. Less is always more when it comes to make up. I have always said “ No matter how much makeup you apply, if your attitude sucks, there’s not enough makeup to make you beautiful!” No matter how much or how little makeup you put on, always remember to “wear the makeup, don’t let it wear you.” Which brands of make up do you recommend and why? 1. With us stepping into Spring and Summer I would recommend Maybelline’s ‘Fit Me’ foundation because it is light on the face, easy on and easy off and most importantly it is inexpensive. 2. As for lip and eyewear I would recommend Portia Allure Cosmetics. All of her products are beautiful, bold, and easy on and off as well. It doesn’t smudge. I think every girl should own a lipstick or lip gloss from Portia. You can find her cosmetics at www.Portia-Allure.com. 3. I’m in love with Queen Latifah’s CoverGirl “Queen”Collection. It is made strictly for African American women! It is light on the face and totally affordable. How do you determine your daily make-up blends? I don’t, lol. I’m very spontaneous when it comes down to makeup. My ideas may change from when I moisturize my face, until I pickup a eye shadow palette. PCL 44
