Chrisette Michele - @ChrisetteM: Honestly? What I think? It’s like royalty just had a child. It’s like the future just met it’s mayor. It’s like the best just became greater. A queen and a king had a princess and hip hop and r&b heirs just passed a torch. I’m that in awe of the moment. Just my humble thoughts. Congratulations Jay and Bey. May God bless and keep you and your new born. (Photo: Brad Barket/PictureGroup)

Do Use Concealer - “One thing we often forget is to put concealer on, because we’re so naturally beautiful. We have a beautiful complexion, and we want to be proud of that, so we don’t understand that we need a little concealer under our eyes to brighten up our whole face. A little concealer goes a long way.”\r\r(Photo: Brad Barket/PictureGroup)

Use a Pictorial Guide to Draw Brows Correctly - “If you want to be a complete drama queen, fill in your eyebrows. That’s the hardest thing to do, though. I think you need a picture tutorial to learn how to do your eyebrows. But it’s fun!"\r\r(Photo: Mark Davis/PictureGroup)

Go to a Color Specialist to Help You Create a Look - “I like to go to color specialists and hang out for a while to figure out what I want to do with my face. It’s always fun to do that.” Visiting a color specialist is great for a woman who has no idea what shades complement her skin tone. The specialist will help you identify the absolute best products for your skin."\r\r\r(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)

Use Foundation Sparingly - “I’m not a big fan of foundation. I’m a big fan of tinted moisturizer. A lot of times, foundations makes us look cakey. If we just put a little concealer on the scary spots and finish with some tinted moisturizer, we still look luminous and true. It’s our own skin. I love Mary Kay and MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15."\r\r(Photo: Jerritt Clark/Getty Images)

Buy Drugstore Eyelashes - “I love Ardell. They’ve been very supportive of my career and they make lashes at a great price point. Some places, you have to pay $15 - $20 for a pair of lashes, but Ardell sells them for $2.99 at the drugstore.”(Photo: Terrence Jennings / Retna Ltd.)
