Meelah Williams dishes on her hair and beauty essentials

Meelah Williams will give 702 fans a sense of nostalgia when she graces TV screens during the premiere of “R&B Divas Atlanta.” The sexy singer will join her close friend LaTavia Roberson as a fresh face on the program that airs Wednesday, April 23 at 10 p.m. EST. And while we wait to see how she fares amongst her boisterous fellow divas, rolling out had a girl talk with the beauty about how she’s maintained her stellar looks since the 90s.

What is your skin care routine?

I don’t really have a regimen; I have been using POND’s dry skin cream for at least 10 years. I moisturize every night. I drink a lot of water and I don’t really drink soda unless it’s a holiday and I’m treating myself. Honestly, I would say that I get it from my mama!

What are your makeup essentials?

I’ve been using MAC for years, but I’ve found that I really do enjoy IMAN cosmetics. Being that she’s an African American entrepreneur and model, I really do support her and her makeup line. It’s awesome for black skin. I have to use her powder every day, I don’t leave home without my IMAN compact.

Is there a certain type of hair you prefer for a “Meelah Williams style” look?

I’ve done it all! I’ve done the natural look; there was a time when I didn’t do a weave or wig. I’m still natural. I’ve never really had a perm. I tried it one time when I was first starting in the industry; they gave me a relaxer and my hair was like, “no ma’am!” So I stick to my natural or my press and curl. I’ve graduated to extensions and wigs. After wearing weaves for so long, I’m now a wiggy; I’m the wig queen. I have them custom-made by my wig stylist. We use virgin Indian hair, sometimes I love if it has light waves to it.

What do you want people to learn about you from “R&B Divas”?

I want people to learn that I’m a normal person, I cry, I laugh, I get upset, I hurt. I go through the highs and lows and woes of love. I have a child and he’s considered special needs and I get overwhelmed sometimes and I’m trying to figure out how to balance it all. I just want them to see that I’m passionate. I’m passionate about my son, I’m passionate about my music career and becoming a businesswoman. Hopefully they’ll learn that even though I’ve been gone for a while, I never gave up and I realize that I have a bigger purpose. I’m using this platform to raise awareness for autism and I’m hoping to be a spokesperson or inspiration at least for parents of special needs kids.
