Tracee Ellis Ross’ Afro And More Best Celebrity Beauty Moments – Essence

Last week, celebrity beauty defined spring through bright blush and wispy lashes. But, this week, it was all about making a statement. From big afros and black lipstick, dramatic blush to stylistic eyeliner, more was more this time around.

Tracee Ellis Ross, for example, proved why her afro cannot be redefined. Her sun-reaching texture, often paired with a power lip, said what needed to be said (even though her caption was devoid of words). For Willow Smith, her statement came in the form of a black lip painted by makeup artist Dee Carrion, which gave the same drama as the highlighted blush seen on Angel Reese and a Barbie-fied Olandria.

But, statements can also be minimal. Tyla carried stylistic eyeliner beneath her eyes, Michaela Coel attached a pair of ‘20s spit curls to her bun, and Kelela stunned in silver. This look beautifully complemented her bleached brows. Last but not least, Victoria Monet ended off the week with a look that’s undeniably classic: a drawn back ponytail, smoky shadow, and a simple pink manicure.

In case you missed it, take a look at all the best celebrity beauty moments from the week.
