9 #BlackGirlMagic Beauty Moments You Probably Missed At The Emmys

It's been almost one week since the annual Primetime Emmy Awards, but we still can't get over all of the #blackgirlmagic moments. From Taraji P. Henson's hairstyle change to Angela Bassett's bright yellow frock and Niecy Nash's curve-hugging gown, we could barely keep up with all of the night's biggest fashion and beauty snapshots. As it turns out, the after-party scene was also a treasure trove of hair and makeup looks that left us mesmorized. If you're still playing catch up on TV's biggest night, check out these brown beauties below.
