The first time I actually took note of Nia Long's face it was in "Love Jones" when Nina sat in a car raving about the love language of the male member and how it spoke to her. My sexual prudishness might explain why the whole time this on-screen conversation was going on, I was watching Nia's sharply arched eyebrows thinking how ridiculous they looked. I have since gained an appreciation for arched eyebrows and wonder why more people don't indulge in this simple and relatively quick beautification picker-upper. Back to Nia – I have been so thoroughly impressed with Nia Long's gorgeous make-up lately that I have been randomly googling her in attempts to recreate the look or at least find out who is behind all this fabulous-ness. I have come to one conclusion – here it is: (ahem) while she may have a great make-up artist and a few high end products to choose from, without question, that girl just has great skin. So, in my attempts to create a step-by-step how-to on doing the Nia Long-fresh-nude-understated-beautiful-best-face-forward-face, I am stuck with the nothing to offer but the same old mama advice you dont wanna hear or read. I suppose I will attempt to cycle back out of the caffeine addiction, limit the candies that float around so freely in most woman-dominated offices and pick up an extra tall bottle of water – and actually drink it. Results to follow. Maybe.
