The BET Experience is an annual event that celebrates the best in black culture across a variety of verticals, including fashion and beauty, television, sports, movies, and most especially, music. This year’s event, held in Los Angeles, was the typical star-studded extravaganza we’ve come to expect of it. And when you’re surrounded by this much Black culture royalty, you put on, and show only your best face. Over the weekend, the ladies, and gentlemen were the epitome of #melaninmagic. They served dynamic hair and makeup looks, proving that it’s not only the celebrities that make this one of the best looking events of the summer.
