“Hollywood Access” with Nalo: Dare To Be Different

October is our pink pick month, so we have to give props to Nicki Minaj — our favorite Black Barbie who loves to sport a pink pout.

Nicki Minaj sets her own beauty trends with makeup.  She rocks bold, bright colors that make a statement — bold lips, and bright, blended eye shadows in flamboyant colors.  At the 2010 BET Hip Hop Honors Awards (where she won 3 awards),  Nicki painted her lips shocking pink-plum.

For this look, try using a lip tar — long-lasting and ultra-pigmented.  A little goes a long way and produces ultra-glam,  vivid, dramatic lips.

Try: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics in Memento.

A few days later Nicki appeared on the David Letterman show. Different hair, same lips.

For an easy-to-wear pink option opt for a cream lipstick that’s a shade deeper.

Try: Black Opal Beauty True Tone Lipstick in Raspberry
