With all the attention current Presidential Candidates are receiving (both positive and unwelcome in their respects), some homage must be paid to one of the most successful and well-loved Presidents of the United States and his First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, as their departure from The White House is looming over our heads. Actress and producer Tika Sumpter took heed and is set to play the leading lady in new film Southside With You (produced by John Legend and her) hitting theaters this Friday. Playing mean girl Raina Thorpe on The CW’s hit show Gossip Girl to troubled soul Jenna Rice on BET’s The Game to her current role as devious temptress Candace Young on OWN’s The Haves and the Have Nots, Tika has proven she has the acting chops: not being limited to the small screen since she’s also been in block buster films Sparkle, Ride Along and its sequel. But what draws us in even further is how stunning a woman she is.With deep ebony tones, Tika knows exactly what works for her complexion. While some pictures may lead you to believe she plays it safe with makeup, others will have you in awe. Any person knows the foundation (no pun intended) for a great beat is a perfect canvas. Even sans maquillage, she still glows. I mean, does she have bottled water running through her pipes? If not, we need her beauty regimen, stat!
And the gorgeousness only continues from there. Tika loves a nude palette and focuses on highlighting with deep golden tones while demonstrating a muted shade on her pout. 
Every now and then, she livens things up with a ravishing matte red lip, adding a touch allure to any look.
Tika likes to take things even further, introducing prominent pink shades to frame her gleaming grin, while warming her cheeks with a subtle tint.
Even in costume wearing 1920’s garb and as Queen Nefetertiti, she slays in brooding reds and deep plums accompanied by expertly applied eye shadow to widen her gaze.
Not only is her mug always on point, but so is her hair. No matter the style, it’s always flawless. From tight curly tresses to precise blunt bobs and long, bone straight ponytails, nary a strand sits out of place when it comes to this beauty. Edges? Present!
But best of all, she’s adding one of the most important roles to her résumé: mom. That’s right. The actress is pregnant with her first child, and looks phenomenal.
What say you? Do you love Tika Sumpter as much as we do?
