‘Heavy On The Pretty’: Reginae Carter’s No-Makeup Look Is a Hit with Fans

“T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” reality diva Reginae Carter is living her best life, makeup-free. The 21-year-old flossed her diamond watch and natural face while out and about over the weekend.

She completed her look with black open-toed stilettos, a button-up blouse, shorts and a black Louis Vuitton bag priced at $3,350. 

“Issa light show 😈,” Carter captioned the gallery of photos that garnered over 200,000 likes on the ‘Gram.

Fans were left swooning over Carter’s beauty and fashion-forward look. 

“Nae be stepping on necks with no makeup onnnn 😩😍🔥.”

“It’s no makeup for me 😫🔥.”

“The Toya in you is everything ❤️😩😩.”

“Heavy on the pretty😍😍😍😍😍.”

“Natural look tho ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

“Issa baddie 😍😍😍😍.”

So what’s the secret to this picture-perfect skin for the daughter of legendary MC Lil Wayne and ageless reality star Toya Johnson? 

Showcasing her skin regime, Carter revealed in an extensive Instagram video over days that she uses a cleanser, moisturizing cream and serum to help her dark spots. 

“You guys have been asking about my skincare regimen. Here it is. Here is one of my favs. Their 24k Gold serum is amazing, and yes, they are a #blackownedbusiness,” she captioned her skin regime video. 

Good skin runs in Carter’s family. The young influencer and actress is often compared to her mother in the looks department. Johnson has been praised for drinking from the fountain of youth in several of her Instagram comments sections.

On July 11, Johnson was complimented for looking like her youngest daughter, Reign Rushing, whom she shares with fiancé Robert “Red” Rushing. 

The 36-year-old, also with flawless skin, practices a skin routine involving a face brush and skin cleanser. Sometimes fans have a hard time telling Johnson apart from Carter and Reign.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
