Hey Afrobella peeps! I ran across this site when searching for Missy’s New Album launch date. After reading on another post that I had done Afrobella herself (the queen of beauty blogs I thought I would jump in as I did the make up for Missy’s upcoming album cover (and yes the “Best Best” cover you are commenting on above)! Thank you all for the kind words- I LOVE MISSY and have been working with her for the past four years! I’m the San Francisco based Senior Artist with M.A.C. and YOU GUESSED IT… it’s all M.A.C. I noticed you wanted a product breakdown or a chance to interview Missy’s make up peeps- So here’s a quick breakdown of what she has in this photo.

Mositure Cover Concealer
Studio fix (3 different shades to create dimention)
Mineralized skin finish natural (created the skin effect- along with great lighting and an amazing photographer)
Breezy and Fluer Power Blush (Sketch to contour… “don’t try this at home” hee hee)
Clear Brow Finisher with Folie on Top for the brows
Naked Pigment as a highlighter
Razin Blush in the contour
Embark and Carbon to deepen the corner of the contour
Blacktrack and Smolder
Custom lashes I created using #6/#7/#2 and Blacktrack (for the spike factor)
Lids (YOU WERE CLOSE) Gold Metal Pigment (MAC PRO) with Reflex Gold Glitter
Lips (I’m a mixer… aren’t we all) it was Vino,Chestnut,Rebel,Syrup, and Wonderstruck)
Stars (NO THEY ARE NOT PHOTOSHOP Neon Pigments (soon to be at MAC PRO) sent through and air brush over a star stencil

Hope that helps… not sure if I’m suppose to say- but there were 4 more looks on the shoot- so the album insert should be a BIG MAC FEST for those of you that love beauty.

In close- thank you for having this AWESOME chat about Missy’s look- thank you all for supporting BEAUTY and the incredible powers make up can have on your energy (inside and out). I hope the break down was helpful (I really just wanted to give you “Sexy Missy” with some unexpected twists).

Take care eveyone,

Victor C. (Senior Artist- MAC Cosmetics, San Francisco)

ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!! I was very disappointed in the first track that leaked which was produced by Danja. It just lacked innovation that was FUN! I restored all my faith back into this upcoming album with this new PART 2 version that Mikey Bo produced. FUGGIN CRAZY!!!!! VERY MISSY. It’s a banger 4 sure! Can’t wait for the album now!

It’s so funny that you posted this video!! That song has been stuck in my head!!! It’s one of my favs too!!

And yes, Missy’s make-up is GORGEOUS. I have yet to listen to her new stuff. I’m a little scared…

Thank you so much, Bella for focusing on Missy & her exquisite make-up. My complexion is close to hers, so I will be checking out these tips–especially for the eye makeup!

BTW…my favoite Missy song? “Get Ur Freak On”…both the original and the remix with Nelly Furtado. HOT!

Dadmn her eyes look great on that cover. I need to get threaded or something, because her brows are so fabulous.

Speaking of fabulous, Bella do you by chance watch “So You Think You Can Dance”? There’s this contestant, Chelsea, that has been sporting some crazy pretty eye shadow. Doesn’t hurt she’s got anime sized eyes, lol. Last night they did this dramatic pale ivory & charcoal combo on her (like Estelle’s) that actually said out loud “Bella would love that!”

Unfortch no good quality vids of last night’s performance are up, and I know it’s odd to suggest watching a dance show for the Make-Up, but if you have a chance, check her out.

Missy always makes me wanna bust a move on the dance floor, lover her! I thought she was great on the Ms Rap Supreme Finale too.

$85 for the c drummond radiance booster? YIKES! I use the sephora luminizer in rose and it works pretty good and kind of does the same thing. Plus its only $18.

I LOVE her makeup!!! I’ve always noticed how flawless she’s looked for all of her photo ops and videos. As for favorite video…Its so hard to choose! I love artistic and unique visions when it comes to music and media.

Missy looks gorgeous on this cover. This is the best she’s ever looked in my opin. My fave video by Missy is a tie between Beep Me 9-1-1 and She’s A Bitch.
