MAGAZINE GLAM: A Pregnant Paula Patton for Ebony, Jill Scott's Son in ESSENCE

Motherhood has never been more glamorous, from a radiant Paula Patton on the cover of Ebony Magazine to glowing new Mom, Jill Scott, on the cover of ESSENCE.

Paula Patton appears on two Ebony covers, embodying the May issue's theme, The Power of Possibility. On one, she bares her beautiful pregnant tummy in an earthy, ethereal pose replete with Grecian-inspired draped chiffon and florals. The second finds her in a ruched dress and floral necklace, softly holding her tummy. Simply gorgeous. Patton and her husband, ubertalented crooner, Robin Thicke, recently welcomed their first son, Baby Julian. Congrats! 

On the cover of ESSENCE, a smiling Jill Scott emits a natural, resplendent glow in all-white. Framed by her free, curly 'fro, Jill Scott has never looked more radiant and beautiful (though Page Six reports Jill hates the cover!).

Inside, we get our first peek at her adorable son, Jett. Love it!

What do you think of the covers?

Kisses,

Coutura

GET THE LOOK: Paula Patton at the 2010 Oscars

It could be that pretty pregnancy glow, but whatever it is, actress Paula Patton looked stunning last night in an orange Carolina Herrera gown at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards ceremony.

Makeup artist Mylah Morales (for CoverGirl) shares how she created Patton's makeup look:

"For Paula Patton’s Oscar beauty look, I started by applying Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil to clean up her skin and create an ideal canvas for foundation application.

Next I applied Giorgio Armani Foundation and set the foundation with a sheer layer of CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Pressed Powder followed by CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer for a gorgeous, bronze glow.

To accentuate and enhance Paula’s stunning orange dress, I focused on gold and brown shades for her eyes. I applied gold powder shadow in the corners of her eyes followed by a layer of CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire over her lid for a gorgeous red carpet eye look. I completed her eye look with a few swipes of CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara for dramatic, ultra-long lashes.

For Paula’s lips, I kept them pretty natural and used a peachy shade of gloss that matched her natural lipcolor. To complete Paula’s overall look I applied NARS Blush in Taj Mahal followed by Shu Uemura Facial Hydration Mist to lock-in Paula’s makeup and help it last her through the night."
