Okay. Picture this. 

You are getting ready to go somewhere and proceed to beat. that. face. BUT, in the process something goes awry. 

You realize you are out of foundation. 

Your lipstick melted from the last time it was in your purse. 

You just dropped your favorite highlighter. 

AKA You have a BEAUTY EMERGENCY!

Anastasia Beverly Hills' Master Palette by Mario is one of the brand's most successful to date. The limited edition palette flew off shelves and websites, leaving many feening for a chance to try out this collector's item. 

As the weather gets colder, you may want to swap the liquid matte lippies for some gloss options. Here are a few glosses that look amazing on darker complexions, especially if you have dark brown lips like mine.

Fall has managed to sneak upon us and that means its time for absolutely everything pumpkin flavored, changing leaves, and of course, the makeup inspired by it all. I love Makeup Geek shadows because they have amazing variety, are super affordable, and are extremely pigmented. I decided to take some of my faves that really screamed "FALL IS HERE," to create my own eye shadow palette that could work for multiple occasions. Check out the shade names and swatches below!

Finding the perfect nude lippie can sometimes prove to an impossible feat. I can't tell you the number of times I have walked into a store and asked for a nude lipstick recommendation only to be lead COMPLETELY astray.

I was heavily influenced by the "dewy look" for our first editorial: "The New Nude." You know, when it appears like someone has taken a mini spray bottle and placed just the right amount of glow on your cheeks and temples, making you appear like you are effortlessly radiating from within.

When the CS team first heard that Alyssa Forever and Alissa Ashley started the BOMB challenge, we were ecstatic. FINALLY, a way for us, as black beauty creators, to support one another. Our beloved muva, Jackie Aina, took things one step further, and used her large platform (over 800,000 subscribers to be exact) to call beauty gurus of ALL ethnicities to take part in this challenge.
