Post the looks of Brown Beauties, Caramel Cuties, and Golden Goddesses that you admire!

I am in L-O-V-E with whoever does Gabrielle Union's and Rihanna's makeup!

I want to recreate the first look....

Even though I disagree with her stylist's wardrobe choices at times (I can't stand it when a woman's natural curves are masked), I think Raven is a BEAUTIFUL young woman and a positive influence on young girls, versus Lindsay Lohan and the likes.

FYI, this next picture is HORRIFYING to me, because I know for a fact that she's NOT this stick like and I despise the fact that they seem to have put her beautiful face on some anorexic woman's body.

Just my little rampage. As a heavier woman, I resent the fact that skinny is the only way to be in show business.

Another makeup/style icon of mine is the beautifully entertaining Mo'Nique
I ENVY her cheekbones!

I love Mo'Nique's makeup....Before I got into shadows, I would just watch her and admire her looks. As a matter of fact, the last movie I watched starring her---Hair Show---before buying some MAC was on BET today. I look at EVERYBODY'S eyeshadow!

I like pretty natural, understated looks (a la Halle Berry an Thandie Newton), but there are a few women whose makeup I wish I could pull off (they're thumbnails):

How could I forget Monique? Watching her on the Parkers... I always loved the makeup. She came and performed at my school earlier this semester....ticked off quite a few people while she was at it

I forgot about Nia Long too! The first few times that I " The Best Man" I was intrigued by the white shiny thing below her eyebrow...basically her brow highlight, but I didn't know what the heck it was called back then

Missy's lips look absolutely scrumptious in that pic

I always admire Paris Hilton's make-up, she always does these really pretty neutral eyes & bronzy cheeks.

Her friend Kim Kardashian's make-up I also think is gorgeous! She does awesome smokey eyes & nude lips.

I'm a Caucasian, so I can't totally relate, but I've never seen Halle Berry looking anything other than out-of-this-world gorgeous.
I love Oprah's looks, too.
I saw a photo of her earlier in the year wearing the most wonderful rose/wine lipcolor. She looked fabulous!
I thought, "Hmmm; wonder if that's 'Lovemate'..."

Yeah, I adore Oprah's makeup. She is who I imitate the most. I wear Knight Divine and Star Violet often because I saw her wearing something similar.

Haifa is gooooorgeous. I can't pull off the super-black smokey eyes that well, though. I think part of what makes it look so good is the amount of contrast between her skin color and the makeup.
