We Found Every ‘Black Is King’ Celebrity Cameo You Won’t Want to Miss

Who else has a squad like this? Beyonce’s Black Is King celebrity cameos already have fans all up in their feels realizing just how much their Queen Bey is blessed to have such a legendary clique. When we talk about star-studded, this is it.

The 38-year-old “Formation” singer brought together a glowing cast of longtime collaborators, family members, close friends, and up-and-coming talent for her new visual album Black Is King, which is available to stream on Disney+ as of July 31. The album, which follows Beyoncé’s Lion King album, 2019’s The Lion King: The Gift for the live-action remake of the film, is a “passion project” that Bey has reportedly been working on for the past year. Originally conceived of as a companion to Lion King soundtrack, Beyoncé says the film is now “even more relevant” as the Black Lives Matter movement continues to grow across the world.

As such, her visual album enlisted Black artists, designers, choreographers, writers, and more—from British poets Yrsa Daley-Ward and Warsan Shire, to Ghanian-Dutch filmmaker, Emmanuel Adjei—behind the scenes. But the representation doesn’t stop there (nor should it; hopefully, Black Is King becomes proscriptive for this mission). We see Black talent making appearances all throughout Beyoncé’s latest feat. Some cameos are more obvious, whereas others are by artists just beginning to stake out a place in the mainstream. Here’s every Black Is King celebrity cameo we spotted so far.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
