Taraji P. Henson’s Makeup at 2010 BET Awards

The glamour quotient at last night’s BET Awards was sky-high, with presenter Taraji P. Henson leading the pack. Celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales made up last year’s BET award winner—and Oscar nominee—using Lancôme mascara and lip colors. Mylah also primped Taraji for the awards after-party, co-hosted with P. Diddy, which called for a makeup change.

The look for the awards, Mylah told us, centered around gorgeous skin, pale lips, a neutral eye palette and loads of mascara. Lancôme’s Color Fever Gloss in Delirium delivered pretty pink shimmer that played off Taraji’s sleek silver dress.

Infiniti by Conair You Curl

***GIVEAWAY***Read the following post and let us know why should we pick YOU to WIN your own Infiniti by Conair You Curl!!! 1 winner. Good luck! Go:) (USA Only).

Is your curling iron “clamping” your style? Soft, sexy curls are now easy to create with the new Infiniti by Conair You Curl. The You Curl has a unique, clamp-free design and a cone-shaped barrel that creates a softer, less structured curl.  Simply wrap hair around the barrel, hold for a few seconds and then release.  The conical design allows the curls to start closer to the root, allowing more volume through the middle (large portion of the barrel) and the bottom will have a tighter curl (small section of the barrel).  The effect is trendy, free-flowing spirals with no “clamp kinks.”

How To Get Jennifer Hudson’s Makeup Look

The ever beautiful and recently slimmed down Jennifer Hudson recently got together with Sam Fine, celebrity makeup artist and creator of The Basics of Beauty, for a shoot showing off her gorgeous new look. Here, Sam shares with us his insider advice on how you can achieve this flawless and glowing face at home with just a few easy steps.


L To R: Jennifer Hudson and Sam Fine

Makeup Tutorial

Coverage: Every great look begins great coverage. Jennifer has beautiful skin, but like many women of color, she has varied tones. I use foundation to unify those varying tones. One of my favorites is the Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation because it’s cream- to- powder, so it dries down to a powdery finish and looks really natural.

Hair Rules aloe grapefruit purifying shampoo

Summer Hair Solutions: Hair Rules aloe grapefruit purifying shampoo ($20) is my latest discovery to remove product build up and to fall in love over again with your favorite daily shampoo & conditioner. More good stuff: smells like fresh grapefruit. Although it does an amazing job as a clarifying shampoo it does it in a very gentle way. Some clarifying shampoos makes my hair feel so dry like there is not point of return, (split second panic…does this sound familiar?). Your hair is now super clean but still soft.
