She's lucky her makeup artists are white and not black or African, because I know my people would've long been pissed with her constant movements and forced her to either stay still or do the makeup herself…😂😂😂… And why does it seem like Hollywood female celebrities always being dressed by men?🤔🤔🤔

Watching this back and realizing I didn’t even know she had on any kind of prosthetic wig, girl what was the point of having them do all of this for you to wear the hood all night? 😂😂😂 that artistry is next level.
