Fashion Intervention

We had to do it….we had to step in and give a heads-up to a few sistahs who need it. It’s not that we’re saying we don’t like these women. That’s the thing – when you care about someone, you want to see them do better. So BET.com has chosen a few sistahs in need of some fashion, makeup or hair intervention…as well as those who deserve some props for stepping up their image.

We asked makeup artist and style maven AJ Crimson, who works with Amerie, Christian Milian, Missy Elliott and Keyshia Cole, to give us some help turning our fashion victims into fashion plates.

GOLDEN BROOKS:
Problem: Unflattering red carpet appearances.
Analysis: Lately, Golden has been looking less than fab, especially in the face.
AJ’s Solution: “Her foundation is not the right color. Our faces are not just one color, and her makeup application is. If she added a little golden or chocolate contour at her temples and cheeks and around the jawline, she’ll look more glowy. It’s a dated look, like MAC in the late ’90s. Back then, there weren’t a lot of products to choose from. You have to mix – if it takes two or three colors to get your correct shade, then that’s what you have to do.”
