ICYMI: 13 Celebrity Moments This Week – Essence

Protective style, cheeks touched with rose and decorated ends all of which were last week. While the celebrities split between wigs and braids (as expected this season), protective styles didn’t waste a moment. And when it got here to the beats, layered blush and contrasting lips reminded us of the close bond between the 2. Throughout, embellished nail art put a spin on classic styles, ushering in a mid-summer update of the French tip.

Lizzo’s blush (much like Tems) stood out Nude Stix Nudies Bloom in boho pink and Ortega Beauty Ethereal Glow Illuminating Balm in rose quartz, which has been combined with Faux Filler Glazed Lipstick. Jourdan Dunn rocked an angelic no-makeup look with a brief, gelled hairdo at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, blue eyeliner on Missy Elliott and brown shadow on Gabrielle Union differentiated their looks, which were otherwise paired with sectioned lashes, lip gloss and a powder finish.

Anok Yai’s custom unit combined green and jade to enhance her wealthy complexion, which she wore with a French ombre. The stars of Chloe Bailey’s Saint Lucia Carnival costume were her Queen of Hearts headpiece and opal, embellished nails. While Doechii posed in a brushed-up half-up, half-right down to end the week, Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland opted for bombshell blowouts on platinum-blonde hair and bobs.
