Lipstick Of The Moment: This Dark Berry Shade Worn By Jennifer Hudson

I know, I know, we totally already discussed the Keep A Child Alive Ball Friday.

However, it wasn't the fact of Alicia Keys performing with Sade that blew me away (I lie. It blew me partly away) but the fact that Jennifer Hudson's makeup and hair looked like this!

I think it's only fair that we get a closer look at it:

Due to my extensive stalker-like research on Twitter, I found that her makeup look was created by none other than the amazing Sam Fine! He twitpic'd this photo of her getting the finishing touches added to her hair before hitting the red carpet at the event:

Not only is that body banging (get it Jennifer!) but you have to admit that she did a complete 360 from the beauty looks of her early days. Here she is at the event last year in London:

Wouldn't you agree, Glamazons? But, back to the dark berry color above: not only is it the perfect shade for her skin tone, but it's also the perfect lipstick shade for fall. Ooooweee! Talk about some beauty inspiration. I looove this! As a result, I've been going through my collection of berry lipsticks and debating as to which shade I should start rocking. While I do that, you should totally check out (and buy!) some of my current faves on the market right now:

More NARS...

What do you think, Glamazons? Do you love this lipstick shade on Jennifer just as much as I do?! Who else plans on rocking the berry lipstick look this fall as well?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Sade, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and More at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball

The stars were out for yesterday's Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, and I have to say this is one event I hate to have missed! Not that I had money for the ticket which I heard cost $50,000 a seat! And not that I was terribly bored yesterday (I was hanging out in Miami for a blogger event I threw for my job! But more on that later...).

I'm mad I missed it because Sade and Alicia Keys performed one of my favorite songs, "Love is Stronger than Pride." Sigh. Live vicariously like me through the video below.

The red carpet was just as exciting! Check out the looks I loved below and vote for your favorite!

Beyonce wore a fuschia gown by Andrew GN which featured a sweetheart neckline and draping at the waist. Not a fan of the color, but love the natural makeup on her.

Alicia Keys chose a gray printed gown with gathering around her baby bump.

She wore Indian headdress again (similar to her look at her wedding to Swizz Beatz) and her hair in an elegant bun.

These two stay with the Sears photo poses. Cute (I guess).

Jennifer Hudson showed off her svelte figure in a velvet, curve-hugging dress, strappy stilettos and sexy, dark lips. Gorgeous!

Whitney Houston gave us a head of wild, unkempt curls and a short black dress. She was...umm...animated on the red carpet. Not her best moment.

Uma Thurman wore a burgundy gown with asymmetric stripes around the waist, a crystal brooch and clutch and a leopard print cardigan. Yikes. Not elegant or polished at all.

June Ambrose continued her turban moment from New York Fashion Week in a black turban and a gown with a sequined black top and blue skirt with floral embroidery. What a fun, high-fashion and exciting look! I'm a fan.

Sade stole the spotlight (in my opinion) in a white gown with a plunging neckline and diamond embellishment. She paired it with her signature flowing black locks and siren red lips. Does it get more beautiful than this?

Magazine Glam: Sade covers EBONY Magazine

Hey Glamazons! You all know about my unhealthy obsession with Sade. I was beyond excited when I heard the news about her latest album, Soldier of Love, and I near 'bout had a heart attack when I heard news that the singing siren would be on the cover of the April 2010 issue of EBONY magazine. Oh, be still thine heart! In the issue, Sade addresses her 10 year hiatus and even lets the mag peep into her studio time. Sigh, I would die to be by her side while she's singing.

Issue hits stands March 9th, so be sure to cop that!
