I have heard and seen so much ranting and raving over Toni Braxton and her 4 sisters new reality show “Braxtons Family Values”, I couldn’t wait until I finally caught it on tv (didn’t know it was available on WE TV’S website until writing this post). I have so much to say….where do I start???
Well, first let me say, that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Toni Braxton. She has always been one of my favorite “SANGERS”, as Cee Lo Green would put it. I was in elementary school when her self titled debut album came out. I remember my sister and I had our little performance to “Another Sad Love Song”. Her soulful voice and the emotions that she gives off in each song always seems authentic and relatable (Remember when she broke it down in the “Seven Whole Days” video with the finger pointing, head shaking, hand on the hip sass).
Ok, enough with beating around the bush…so I watched all three episodes and I honestly have to say, although the show is very amusing, I was a little disappointed with the ladies hair and makeup. I really expected better from a glamour girl like Toni, and especially from a diva like Tamar. I’m not really going to go there with the bad wigs and weaves, although, I will say, they could learn a thing or two from Mama Braxton.
So, let’s do a makeup play by play like they do in football, shall we? The main culprits are Tamar and Toni.
It looks like someone slapped blush all over her cheek…so 80′s, don’t you think? This seems to be a trend amongst all the sisters.
In some of the clips, Tamar actually reminds me of Latoya Jackson. I’m not sure why her blush was applied from her cheek to the side of her nose, but, again it’s too much blush and it should be kept in the zone — on the apples of the cheek.
It looks like her foundation maybe too light for her and they didn’t do a good job with blending the highlighter and blush…it looks completely isolated.
I left out another pic of Tamar in the original post
She’s just overdoing it with the eyes…it looks a little draggish to me.
Since the Braxtons live in The A, they should seek the services of whomever does the The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s makeup…Season 3!!

Feature Friday :: Braxton Family Values
Last season, I was really disappointed in the Braxton sisters hair and makeup choices (read Braxton Family Makeup Faux Pas). From the bad wigs, to the excessive amounts of blush, it all just seemed too over the top, and with divas like Toni and Tamar, I expected so much more.
Well, I finally peeped an episode of this season’s Braxton Family Values . I was happy to see some improvement with the sisters. It seems as though they learned a lot from last season — better wigs/weave, and they even toned down the heavy makeup, just a little. The award for most improved has to go to both with Towanda and Traci. Those two have come a LONG way.
Remember in the first season, Towanda was always rocking the two ponytails and/or micro minis and frosty eye shadow. Well, with season 2, Towanda has stepped it up with curly locs and opted for more warm and neutral tones.
Traci was all over the place during the first season. She was another fan of frosty eye shadow and her wigs just weren’t up-to-par as a professional cosmetologist. During this season, almost like an inconsistent boyfriend, sometimes she gets it right and the other times, well, she doesn’t.
What do you think?
