Keisha Whittaker Lip Gloss
From LoveToKnow Makeup
This past spring, Keisha Whittaker's lip gloss line was released and fans are raving about the non-tacky, glossy lip line.
About Keisha Whittaker
Keisha Nash Whitaker is a well known Ford model and wife to Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker. Because the most common spelling of her last name actually has two T's, many search engines pull up her name by searching for "Whittaker" instead of the actual spelling of her name, which is "Whitaker". You will see her name spelled both ways in this article to help those who are searching for information on the model and her makeup. However, the correct spelling is "Whitaker".
She was born in 1972 in Boston, Massachusetts. She has three children, two with Forest Whitaker and one daughter from a previous relationship. In many ways, and despite her beauty and glamour, Keisha is an ordinary girl. During an appearance on Oprah, she confessed to loving Ritz Crackers, Slim Jims and Hanes T-Shirts. With this kind of taste, it's little surprise that Keisha Whittaker lip gloss is so fabulous.
The Keisha Wittaker Lip Gloss Line
Keisha Whitaker's lip gloss is called Kissable Couture. A couple of years ago, she teamed up with friend and [[ Dee-Dee Marcelli, Celebrity Makeup Artist|celebrity makeup artist]] AJ Crimson to create the Kissable Couture line. Right now, Kissable Couture offers three collections.
First Kiss
The first collection is called First Kiss and comes in seven exciting shades of shimmery glossiness. The tubes run about $22 each. Each of the colors is named after a guy Keisha or her friends have kissed. Here are the colors in the first line:
- Forest: A brilliant and deep crimson-red.
- David: A neutral brown that goes with anything.
- Tyler: A deep purple shade that goes well with dark skin tones.
- Eric: Orange with a touch of brown. Almost a burnt pumpkin color.
- Chris: This color is a medium-tinted peach and goes with almost any skin tone.
Subtle enough for every day wear.
- Dylan: A medium pink that creates a soft, dewy look.
- Johnny: A very pale plum color.
Dreamy Valentine's Collection
After successfully launching the First Kiss line in January of '08, the Keisha Whittaker lip gloss line released three new colors in February to celebrate Valentine's Day. The shades in this collection have been named for things love inspires. Here are the colors:
- Fantasies: A deep red that creates a bold fashion statement. Perfect for a night on the town.
- Dreams: A very pale pink that adds just a hint of color and gloss to the lips.
- Bliss: A pinkish mauve color that is neutral enough to wear with anything.
The Nudes Collection
Just in time for the lighter makeup of summer, Kissable Couture released this new collection in various shades of nudes. Not only are the shades neutral enough to go with any outfit and any skin tone, but they are subtle enough for a picnic or day at the office without being overly bold. Wear over darker [[Lipstick|lipstick] for an evening look. Colors in this collection include:
- Innocence: This is the lightest shade in the collection. With just a hint of caramel color, this gloss looks great on anyone and can take everyday drab to always fab.
- Honesty: A little more color that reminds you of toffee. This one also has a bit of glint that will reflect in the light and give you even more shimmer and shine.
- Exposed: This is the darkest color in the nudes line and is more of a deep bronze. It also has a lot of added shimmer and sparkle.

Hi Makeup Virgin,
No worries! The best thing you can do is start with the basics. First rule? Only use what you need. Now, if you have clear, smooth skin, skip foundation and only use a little bit of powder to combat shine.
From there, grab a lipstick in a berry or deep wine shade (that work work nicely with your skin tone). If you don't like the way that looks, top it with a little bit of clear gloss (it will make your lips look fantastic).
Next, it's time to look at the eyes. I don't know what color your eyes are but champagne eyeshadow (placed all over the lid) looks great on just about any skin tone. From there, think about getting an eyeliner in a flattering tone.
If you have more questions, please feel free to write back!
