This week had an abundance of special events where our favorite melanin-rich beauties had the opportunity to hook up their hair, nails, and makeup. From colorful pouts and rosy cheeks to braids galore and beautiful bald heads, the looks were endless.
As we watched from afar, sometimes from the pages of their social media, we learned a thing or two about serving up the best in beauty. Check out the gallery below to see which ladies made us double-tap and add heart-eyed emojis to every photo they posted.
01
Jodie Turner-Smith
Showing off her pregnancy glow, Jodie held nothing back in sparkly purple lids.

Lil Mama
Mama did her thing with this glamour shot. And that green is so complementary to her berry hued lips.

Zozibini Tunzi
Always regal like a queen, Zozi shows off skin as glowing as her crown.

Donshea Hopkins
Take a cue from Donshea; if you’re feeling cute, show it off.

Elaine let her curls down and we were here for it.

Ashley Blaine Featherson
We can’t tell if there’s a filter on this photo or not because Ashley’s just that flawless.

Skai Jackson
Skai might be known as the queen of the clapback, but we see her more as the queen of the baby hair game.
08
Ebonee Davis
We knew Ebonee was a stone cold fox. But who knew she was a stone cold Foxy Brown serving up Mahogany vibes?

Madisin Rian
Madisin has officially won best smoky eye of the year for 2020 and it’s only February.

11
Meagan Good
Meagan looks like she’s so good at being bad, and that’s any bad that she chooses.

Slick Woods
Only Slick can make neon green brows look like something everyone needs to try right now.

Nia might have recently given up her crown to her successor but she’ll always be a queen, with one of the most beautiful crowns we’ve ever seen.

Shalom Blac
Shalom might mean “peace” but this look is disrupting your beauty routine, and making you go back to the drawing board.
