Fierce Friday: Get the Look—Nia Long's 'Berry' Beautiful Makeup from 'The Best Man Holiday Premiere'
Nia Long hasn’t gotten older, she has gotten better. At the premiere of The Best Man Holiday Nia was aglow in a beautiful berry-hued front slit dress by Michael Costello with a plunging neckline that showed off Ms. Long’s glistening cleavage. At the moment, we can’t think of a fiercer 43 year old rocking the red carpet. Nia’s makeup was on point—it flattered and didn’t distract from her natural beauty. Glowing skin with Berry lips and cheeks with a touch of shimmer on the eyes, finished with flirty lashes.
