Beauty Tips from the Beautiful

InStyle spoke to the stars for their all time beauty secrets. Nothing mind blowing but worth a read nonetheless!

"To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss." - Halle Berry

























"I love the look of buffed nails. They look neat and chic without actually having to paint your nails—and it takes no time!" - Joy Bryant

"A woman is most beautiful when she smiles. Other than that, the most valuable tip I've learned is always use a skin moisturizer!" - Beyonce


























"Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores." - Mary J. Blige


























"Once I started drinking more water, my skin, hair and nails all flourished." - America Ferrera

"Every woman—even women of colour—should wear a blush bronzer. Not a self-tanner bronzer!" - Iman

























"I'm a really smiley person, so I've just learned when I'm doing my own makeup, I have to make sure it's smile ready and not too heavy. As amazing as the Victoria Beckham pout is for photos, I just can't do it!" - Rosario Dawson

Mary J. Blige & Nina Simone

Mary J. Blige has finally confirmed that she will be playing Nina Simone in the biopic film, Nina (working title). Shooting is due to start in June and Mary told US Weekly magazine: ‘I'm definitely still doing it, and I'm in acting classes for it now.’

Mary J.Blige and Nina Simone

























Nina Simone’s voice is epic (her rendition of Strange Fruit gives us chills) – Mary certainly has some big shoes to fill. As much as we admire Mary, we’re not entirely convinced her voice is up to it. That said, we certainly wish her well and would like to see the film when it is released.

Will it be a TV/DVD movie or will it get a theatrical release? We’re not sure many people under the age of 30 even know who Nina Simone is (to their loss)!
