NYLON Beauty Hit List: Dua Lipa’s Pink Eyeshadow, Normani’s Waist-Length Braids, and More

Just when we thought Tracee Ellis Ross couldn’t be more relatable, last week she blessed us by opening up her makeup bag on Instagram. Her kit included mascara, a nail file, contacts, phone plugs, old Apple headphones (with the wires), Advil, tweezers, and four Mac lipsticks in color Ruby Woo. Who among us can stop buying our favorite lipstick once we find the perfect one? Nothing is a truer beauty classic than a long-wearing matte red, so we shall be channeling Tracee’s makeup bag through fall—the essentials plus a bold lip (minus the old headphones).

Once we get into the end of August, it’s hard not to get a one-track mind towards fall and winter beauty trends– although the weather certainly isn’t cooperating yet. Luckily, celebrities are still out here enjoying the summer, soaking up the sun, and are continuing rocking the best of late season trends.

Tracee wasn’t the only celebrity blessing our feed with an A+ beauty moment this last week. We’ve noted a few more eye-catching beauty looks, from Normani’s super glossy face, and below-the-waist braids, to Dua Lipa’s sweet birthday party look including candy pink eyeshadow and baby braids. Here’s a roundup of the best looks you might have missed.
