“Anything Fenty Beauty!” ~ Nneoma Okorie, @nnescorner

“My fave beauty product is concealer. If I lived in the desert for 109 years and I had to choose moisturizer or concealer…I’d choose concealer because I have heredity dark circles. They are never leaving, we are connected by generations of women before me with dark circles. Concealer makes me look how I feel on the inside. It’s my jam. My favorite right now is LA Girl Concealer ($4.99 at UltaBeauty.com)…the four dollar one. I like liquids because they are a bit more sheer than a cream, but still pigmented.” ~ Jennifer Fleming, @FaceMaid, makeup artist

“I like to slather on highlighter so I have a lit from within glow. My favorite highlighter right now is Amazonian Clay Highlighter in ‘Expose’ by Tarte Cosmetics ($29.00 at TarteCosmetics.com). It’s soooo pretty!” ~ Jolie Luxe, @Jolie_Luxe

“I love Fenty Beauty Sinamon highlight ($25.00 at FentyBeauty.com) and Laura Mercier Face Illuminator ($44.00 at LauraMercier.com). I love that Fenty Beauty has shades for my skin tone and her highlight stays on forever and her concealer doesn’t melt off. Laura Mercier gives you a glow but doesn’t feel like anyone smacked you with glitter. I can wear it at daytime for work and nighttime.” ~ Keturah McKenzie, @Ketsstyle
“Lancôme 24 hour foundation is my favorite product.” ~ Kayla Jade McLean, @Orchard.Rose

“I always have to go out with something on my lip. I love the Almay Goddess Gloss in ‘Halo.’ I like lip toppers. Glitter is my favorite color. If I can incorporate it in anyway, I’m going to. Lip toppers just give you something nice and fun. If you leave out the house with one thing, make it lip gloss.” ~ Kira Lewis, @Kiritaaa

“If you have split ends or manipulate your hair constantly with twistouts, the Eden Body Works Marshmallow Split End Repair Masque is perfect.” ~ Africa Miranda, @AfricaMiranda
“Oh! I love Colourpop lipstick in ‘Pin Wheel.’ ($6.50 at Colourpop.com).” ~ Syeda Muhammad, @Syeda_BomBom
“I love Kat Von D Foundation. It’s amazing. She has a lot of shade ranges and for a full on beat, it will cover anything you need to cover.” ~ Nayely Campbell, @IBurntsuga_
