Macy Gray is one of the most unusual Black woman in the show business industry. Safe options and cool attitude; she is also one of the most realistic Sofisticate lady on show: her minimalist look is her best asset. Today we will try to find out a bit more behind this icon.
Macy has a round face and almond eyes which are slightly smaller than the average size, her features are symetrical. She wears a classical afro hairstyle and/or haircuts with volume which elongate her face and recreate a balance between her face and her body proportions. Macy has invisible ears. She has chosen to complete her natural and soft look by avoiding earrings and face adornment in order to remain as young and fresh as possible. Mrs Gray is very light in terms of make-up use: she will either focus on her eyes or define her mouth, never an all facial makeover…
Macy is enough lucky to have a mesomorph body: her bone structure is strong while her muscles are firm as well as flexible. Younger; she was probably as fit as the Williams sisters: sporty, tall and straight. Macy’s body does not easily put on weight that is the reason why, if this happens, the extra pounds will find a way to develop all over the body. Preferably setting up on thighs and tummy when the body is female. Mrs Gray’s body line allows her to wear straight clothes (long vests, coats) in which her movements are authentic and natural.
Macy’s undertone is orange (as for the majority of black people) with an healthy skin: she does not need a lot of foundation. She likes bright and fresh colours as they maintain an illusion of eternal freshness and ageless style…Turquoise, white, deep red. Mrs Gray also likes a glamour look and sometimes would go for a brown or black top which creates a sexy visual impact while revealing her real age…
