inspirational black beauties

[mz hanan]

Make up as an African woman has been really difficult. Finding colours that match my light but not white complexion has not been easy. As a young girl I never saw girls that looked like me on the front cover of magazines or on the TV screens but recently there has been progress. But know I have the likes of Thandi Newton and Jada Smith I think its quite motivating. Please feel free to post any pics of ur fav celb.

I love, love, love Sanaa Lathan. Makeup and Style wise, she can usually do no wrong in my book. I can't forget about Rhianna, GORGEOUS. And I agree with what everyone else has said espeically Halle and Dorothy!

I love Angela Bassett. I swear my Mother-in-law looks just like her twin.

i think i take something from them all but most recently i have been really in love with phyllis hyman. her facial features are very similar to mine-big lips, full nose, big eyes-everything big and seeing her is like seeing my potential. too bad she faded too soon. she even makes me comfortable with my deep voice (well her and toni braxton).

Wow! I have so many! But right now I am really feeling Jada. Jada's skin is always on point! She needs to write a book. A few books actually. She's such an inspiration for the African American community especially but also for women in general.

It's the new hair. Had the same reaction. I'm not a fan of it either. Try to overlook the hair and focus only on the face. Her skin and makeup is beautiful.

I think Queen Latifah always looks nice, especially her hair and makeup.


I also think Keyshia Cole's look has came a long way since she first came out. I love her darker hair and her makeup is alway flawless.

Re: inspirational black beuties

I think Tyra's beautiful.

I have an ever-growing girl crush on the beautiful, talented and (from what I've heard) smart Kerry Washington.

Mary J. Blige

Re: inspirational black beuties

These aren't necessarily my favorite celebrities but I do google them often for makeup looks as they vary a lot and not stick the simple norms (which I do love). And the hair styles - makes me wish for a stylist everyday.

Rhianna (although I find her too weird at times)

Ashanti

Niecy Nash (I LOVE her lip color choices)

Alicia Keys
