undane — a word that should evoke dread in the heart of any beauty enthusiast. Indeed, even our best can sometimes become regular, which is why true style stars understand the necessity of switching things up. Last week, Black A-listers played to this as they graced red carpets and the streets alike in looks that supercharged our week. From award shows to the Superbowl and everything in between, celebrities were bent on keeping things interesting with their makeup looks and hairstyles, ensuring that no one dared to challenge their prominence.
The Looks
Makeup
We’ve said this before, and we’ll say it again: Ciara is who she thinks she is! With such a flexible personal style, the mother-of-four has mastered the craft of offering upbeat looks that keep things exciting. Last week, she brought a soft glow to the fore in a muted face beat that saw feather brows meet with soft, smokey eyes to a remarkable conclusion. She kept her lips bare, her highlights popping, and her pose fierce. Now, that’s how to make an effortless statement.
We all agree that the eyes are the window to the soul, but if you’ve ever doubted, Zendaya came ready with the proof. The actress kicked off a press tour in Mexico in an interesting makeup look that presented her feral side. Her well-lined eyes were the main cast of the doll-up, and the witchy lashes and prominent brows only emphasized them further. With her eyes taking a strong stance, her lips stayed submissive with a nude gloss. We’ve looked into Zendaya’s eyes, and they told us the lady means business.
Hairstyle
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, a big chop might just be what you need to ditch mundanity for sass. Last week, Janelle Monáe graced the red carpet of the NFL Honors event in a haircut that proved a formidable ally for her spirited face beat and statement dress.
