Beyoncé's Daughter Blue Ivy Expertly Does Her Grandma Tina's Halloween Makeup - WUSA9.com

Beyoncé's daughter is a budding makeup artist! The 39-year-old singer's mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, recently took to Instagram to share a pic of her made-up face, which was expertly done by Beyoncé and JAY-Z's eldest child, 8-year-old Blue Ivy.

In the selfie, Tina showed off her Halloween makeup, which included a darkened nose and eyes, as well as lips that appeared to be stapled shut to give her a classic skeleton look.

"My Blue is a great makeup artist!" Tina gushed in the caption. "She made me into Grandma Skeleton!!"

Blue's talent with makeup is no surprise. When ET's Cassie DiLaura spoke to Tina last year, the proud grandma praised Blue for her makeup abilities.

"I've bought Blue so many makeup kits, much to her dad's dismay! But it's just for playtime. We have fun!" Tina mused. "... She puts stones and does all this fancy stuff. She can do a perfect cat eye. She's a little artist."

Despite Blue's obvious talent, Tina doesn't think the tot should be allowed to wear makeup herself until her teenage years.

"I think about 13. It's when I started letting my girls wear makeup," she said. "A little lip gloss, maybe a little blush and I always believed in mascara, that's so fun. But not any base and all that stuff, that's a little much."

Beyonce has fans in a spin after she was captured on video dancing with her son, Sir.

Doting mum Bey swung the three-year-old from side-to-side, Sir looking extremely dapper in a miniature Giorgio Armani suit and a rainbow unicorn headband.

Filmed by Bey's pal and stylist Manuel A Mendez, the songstress couldn't help but beam as the tot clung onto her neck.

Sir has a twin sister, Rumi, as well as older sister Blue Ivy, eight.

Beyonce shares her three kids with rapper, entrepreneur and hubby Jay-Z.

Manuel has worked with the Carter family for years, and has been styling Blue since she was a baby for public appearances with her mega-star parents.

Beyonce's been kept busy in recent months following the August release of her latest studio album, Black Is King.

As a visual album, it features appearances from her family, including Jay, their kids, and mum Tina.

Celeb pals Pharrell, Jessie Reyez and Naomi Campbell also show their faces, as does Bey's former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland.

Beyonce opened up about what motherhood means to her last year, sharing: "Being a mother, my family is my biggest priority.

"It's not many films that the parents can come and feel the way I feel about The Lion King and feel that and pass that legacy onto their kids."

And Beyonce and Jay recently celebrated 12 years of married life, having tied the knot in a famously low-key ceremony in Jay's New York City apartment in 2008.

They welcomed Blue in 2012, and twins Rumi and Sir in 2017.

Tina led tributes to the pair on their 12th anniversary, sharing a previously unseen wedding day snap.

Beyonce throws an arm into the air while rocking a classic, crisp white wedding dress, Jay looking dapper in his tux.

"It seemed like yesterday these guys walked down the aisle," proud mum Tina wrote, "Such beautiful memories of that day, now it's twelve years later.

"Three gorgeous babies later and love still prevails."

Beyonce and Solange's dad Mathew Knowles to teach master class in music management at the University of Houston - KTRK-TV

HOUSTON, Texas -- He's the father of two of the biggest musical stars on the planet and now he'll add the title of teacher to his resume.

Mathew Knowles will share the secrets of managing Beyonce and Solange in a master class on the music industry at the University of Houston in 2021.

Knowles told ABC13's Melanie Lawson that it took him more than thirty years of learning on the job, and a few failures.

He wants to pass on that knowledge in a fifteen-week virtual course beginning in January.

One key lesson Knowles said he'll share: There are some things more important than money or fame.

"I learned I had to continue to learn," Knowles said. "This requires a lot of time and focus and passion and information and building the right team. You sometimes have to learn those the hard way or you have these types of opportunities by listening to someone who's done it on a high level."

The master class is limited to the first thirty-five people to sign up and all that knowledge isn't that cheap.

The class costs $3,000 for fifteen sessions for non-students and $1,000 for University of Houston students and alumni.

Knowles is no stranger to academia. He earned bachelor's degrees in Economics and Business Administration from Fisk University, a master's degree in Strategic Planning and Organizational Culture and a doctorate in Business Administration from Cornerstone Christian Bible College.

He's also taught classes at Texas Southern University, Cornell, Fisk, Rice, Prairie View A&M, and The Art Institute International.

The course is jointly offered by the Arts Leadership program at the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts and the Executive Education program at the C.T. Bauer College of Business.

As long as space is available, you can register for The Music Industry and the Digital Age course here.

Professor Knowles is Set to Teach at the University of Houston — and Megastar Guests Will Follow - PaperCity Magazine

That's Professor Knowles to you.

Mathew Knowles — father of one name music megastars Beyonce and Solange, and former manager of Destiny's Child — is headed to the University of Houston to teach a special course. Knowles' class is called The Music Industry and the Digital Age. So much for being stuck with an old boring professor.

"I want to change the way we do things in the music business," Knowles says on a Zoom call.

Mathew Knowles comes across as more cerebral — or even professorial — than showy when talking about his new teaching passion project. His business may be in show business, but his demeanor is all boardroom. He makes it clear he is not trying to find the next Destiny's Child in this class. Instead, he's looking to help nurture and develop a new smarter generation of music business executives.

Of course, if you do not think that Beyonce and Solange also know business, you just haven't been paying attention. They are fierce, accomplished businesswomen in every sense, too.

"Unfortunately, we have a very high failure rate (in the music industry)," Knowles says. ". . . Part of the reason we have this much failure is the business acumen of the team around the artists. It's not their talent. It's their team."

Mathew Knowles never wanted to let his business knowledge hold his daughters — or the other artists he represented — back. So even as he worked on massive deals for Destiny's Child, he went back to school, starting with Saturday classes at Houston Community College and eventually working up to advanced degrees. Knowles turned himself into a savvy music tycoon with a rare combination of real-life lessons and serious classroom time.

Now, he's trying to help future music business leaders avoid some of the mistakes he made, learn from his successes and find a little easier path. So who does he anticipate taking his UH course?

"Some people will be managers," Mathew Knowles says. "Others will be independent record labels. Others will be in marketing. Artists will be part of this that would like to know business side of this."

Jointly offered by UH's Arts Leadership program at the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts and the Executive Education program at the C.T. Bauer College of Business, Knowles' class is a 15-week master course that's conducted virtually. Of course, celebrity instructors are nothing new in the world of major universities.

James Franco has taught at UCLA. Matthew McConaughey joined the faculty at his beloved University of Texas' Moody College of Communication. Knowles seems to be taking his course very seriously.

Wearing a simple long sleeve black shirt and black framed glasses, with Carlsbad's beautiful waterfront playing out behind him on the Zoom, Mathew Knowles talks about the course and the music industry in general with a measured passion.

Unlike many big names who try to rush on and off these type of Zoom sessions with the press, Knowles answers every question. And even encourages more.

He insisted on having a small enough class size (35 students will be allowed to sign up) that he could have some personal virtual interaction with the students. The professional development course is open to anyone who wants to sign up (and pay the $3,000 tuition fee — current UH students and alumni get a special $1,000 rate). The course begins on January 25 at 6 pm.

Knowles' Guest List?

Knowles is already promising some major guests over the 15 weeks — and his list of contacts puts a plethora of interesting options in play. He will not sugarcoat his dismissal of the idea that overnight success in the music industry is a reality, however. Mathew Knowles knows how much work his daughters — and other truly successful artists — have put in.

"They think they can go from zero to a hero," Knowles says of the out-of-touch dreamers the music industry often seems to attract. "This is not a microwave industry. I always say there is a price of admission to the music industry.

"It's about knowledge."

To Knowles, it's clear. Smarter artists with smarter teams around them are the ones who stick around. Every detail and branding move matters. Including ones that created some of the most iconic music images of recent times.

"You've heard so many people talk about how when they have a fan — women — and their hair's flowing, 'Oh like Beyonce,' " Knowles says of the now common music video trick. "Well, that wasn't an accident. We had to work on it."

And you thought Beyonce's hair just happened. Professor Knowles knows better. Pull up a chair — and get some real music knowledge.
