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.

Nia always looks amazing and I love that her natural beauty always shines through. She is working the heck out of that dress by the way. I have been wanting to try blushing bride by Tarte for so long and Benefit’s “They’re Real” mascara. I think you just pushed me to get them. 🙂

The more & more I look and learn about Nia Long, the more I admire her 🙂

I know her makeup artist (Saisha Beecham) used Black Opal and Bobbi Brown on her (in fact, the lip is the disc Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Raisin) but this is a great “get the look” post. I especially love the Becca recommendations!!

Yes, I saw Saisha’s instagram post. She does an amazing job on Nia. Just offering up some alternatives. Thanks for stopping by.

She looks gorgeous as usual. I was in Sephora yesterday. I actually had a Josie Maran lip product in my hand. The color was similar. Maybe I should go back and get it.

I love the lipstick by Josie Maran. It’s not the official lip, but a pretty good dupe. Thanks for leaving a comment.
