10 Must-See Celebrity Makeup Looks Of The Week

Celebrities are a major source of inspiration for our makeup routines. As the gatekeepers to what’s new and hot, we count on A-listers to show us which products are worth investing in. 

This week’s best makeup moments are getting us excited to swap out our summer brights for a more subdued fall palette. Click through for all the inspiration you need to make transitional beauty look luxe.

Actress Lex Scott Davis attended the same party as Niecy on Aug. 10 and rocked a gold lipstick that we’re dying to find. This is the perfect lip color to wear as the weather cools down.
