Who: Niya Pickett Miller, 30, who is pursuing her doctorate in communication studies at the University of Southern Mississippi. She, her husband, David Miller, and their daughter, Nalla Paige Miller, live in Hoover.
What are you wearing? A sequined tunic from Eve Marie's Boutique in Hattiesburg, Miss.; black Jessica Simpson patent leather pumps and black Hue leggings, both from Belk; silver and rhinestone bangles from Eve Marie's; earrings from Baker's; and hair by Darius Peace of Birmingham.
Who did your makeup? "I did. I did some online tutorials and also had a consultation with Hayah Cosmetics to practice some application techniques. But as far as applying the makeup and the lashes, all of that, I did myself. I will Google, I will YouTube and figure out how to do it. I was up the day of the party at 5 doing my makeup, putting my lashes on and figuring out proper placement and making sure I was comfortable," she said.

You pointed out that you wore MAC makeup and their matte red lipstick. "There's an art to wearing red lipstick. When you wear red lipstick, you have to make sure that your lips are conditioned and you have actually exfoliated your lips. Red is one of those colors where all of the imperfections, cracked lips, dead skin, are magnified. You have to line the lip with a red liner, preferably a shade of red that's darker than the lipstick."
