Diahann Carroll - 28 Days of Black Beauty

The 28 days of black beauty series is a celebration of Black History Month (February) done beauty blogger style.  I'll showcase a different woman each day and recreate one of her makeup looks while also giving some information on her life/career.  Maybe you'll learn more about some favorites or get hip to new black women that you didn't know much about :)  Enjoy!  

Diahann Carroll is a black actress pioneer who acted in movies/shows such as "Dynasty", "Carmen Jones", "Julia", "Porgy and Bess".  She has fought breast cancer and is an activist for the cause.  In the show Julia, she was the lead actress and it was a first for an African American woman to play a nonstereotypical role (ie maid, nanny, mammy, etc).

I wanted to recreate this "Dynasty" makeup look because ya'll know I loooooves the 80s!  I did the look on Bff Ashley
