A lady’s look is never complete and Mary keeps her nails manicured with solid shades.

2. Smokey eye

We love how the songstress mastered the smokey eye effortlessly. Enhance yours by applying eyeshadow on the bottom of the eye as well as the lid.

Thank you D’Andre Micheal and Larry Sims. Great night in Nashville.

3. BFF

She is friends with Naomi Campbell who is one of the oldest super models and beauty icon in the world. Envy much?


 

4. Red lips

Everyone has their own shade of red and Mary’s is a deep red that shines.

Today In London. Really fun taping. Thank you TeamMJB.#royalvarietyshow
