Natural /bronze lips

Hello beautiful people!!!

            Firstly special shout out to everyone who responded to the last post, ranging from comments to bbm chats, emails and even calls, you all made me feel on top of the my world( I was feeling like one TARA) for my mind, I broke my record most viewed post, WELL, WELL WELL……. Thanks to those that contacted me, asking if I was ok cos’ I was away for a while you guys keep me moving!

I have missed every one of you a great deal, I am still working on striking the perfect balance how to combine so many things with blogging hopefully will be past that pretty soon, now i know blogging isn’t for lazy people like me. For now I am working on doing a post on Nude lipsticks shades, as for me less is more,(winks*) , I have so much to share with you, I decided to introduce new interesting outlines you can always check out for like for, its (COMING SOON) anyways.

            Today's post is a makeup post, I decided to show a look that looked really plain but still obvious there is makeup on. It is really natural, just a clean face with a little definition on the eyes. Lips look like second skin, blush, foundation, highlight all look like second skin. I played up my eyes, did light brows, and added a little pop of colour to my eyes.

People usually have this belief that, with a look like this it would take about 5 secs to achieve, but that is just false. I almost used the same amount of time I would use with a colorful application, because I still did everything, brows, blending, highlight, contouring, lined the lips etc.

This look can be worn as an everyday look, to parties, maybe with a pop of color in the water line or even the lips, however you deem fit! But I wouldn't even change a thing!

TUTORIAL !!! (BROW GROOMING)

  Hello people!!!!

I hope this post wont be too long, because I have quite a lot to say but I’ll try to keep it brief as possible.

                From the title, all our topic today is brow grooming, which is so easy and takes about only few minutes to do,the first thing I see when I look at people just like most makeup artists.                                                                                                                

Importantly, we should all know  that the brows frame the face, Here are a few things you need to know:

PARTS OF A BROW:

Natural eyebrows are not perfect, the two on your face aren’t identical, the two cannot look completely alike. This doesn’t mean one should look like a straight line, and the other like a circle.

    Most people tell me “ please I want that arch thing o” and I try to explain this to them……  always follow your natural eyebrow shape. Don’t  ‘overcurve’ because you want to get the arch….. lest you look like our surprised aunty below. 

Lets get started shall we?

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

EYEBROW PENCILS:  For this tutorial I would be using Airwoman eyebrow pencil in 0018. This pencil is easily obtainable and that’s why I chose it for this tutorial. It goes for about 50 – 100 naira and its fantastic. Davis eye pencils which are more popular can be used.

CONCEALER:  Concealers are used in sculpting or defining  the brows. They clean off excess  pencils mark and give the brows a nice shape.

INSPIRATION FOR ALL

Do you know that the entire water of the sea cant sink a ship on it, unless it gets inside the ship.(MEANING) Negativity of the world cant put you down unless you allow it get inside you.
  SO JUST FOCUS, AND KEEP AIMING FOR THE BEST. Happy sallah to all muslims around the world, may this season bring peace and blessings. Dont miss out,(NEXT POST)Brow grooming.

LAYOR MAKEOVERS

Hello cupcakes, how as the week been, now this more like an advert, Tell people around, you could be helping someone.

VELVET !!! VELVET!!! VELVET

 Velvet, velvet!! Velvet!!! I was never a fan of velvet - never worn it before in my life just because i feel it is one fashion trend that is highly seasonal(remember the father u-turn aposhe song hey, lol). Not until now that the world of fashion is giving an entirely new definition to the trend, i think i might just be changing my whole wardrobe to strictly velvet fabrics. You're gonna love this, more when you check out various ways people now wear velvet;

Thanks to Africans, precisely Nigerians - the once hated fabric of mine has become one of my most adorned. I see several beautiful interpretations to them these days and am like WOW. I remember while in church a few months back and this gorgeously dressed lady (tying an embellished velvet wrapper paired with a lacy top) walked into the auditorium, believe me, she looked amazing!

Road Accidents and why I am thankful

It's weekend again and thinking about what I'm thankful for just brought back some memories to my mind.

Some years back....nor be small thing o! I was rushing home from school to get my exam card, and almost getting to my house the bus I was in and another old mercedes collided,and before I knew it I had this weird feeling around my face... When the bus stopped I jejeli came down from the bus,before I knew what was happening people started stopping cos of the accident, and Lo nd Behold brethren, my face was dripping from blood,chai (inside of me I tot is this how people have accidents and die) what happened to my face?few people who saw me felt pity for me,from the expressions on their face I knew something really bad has happened to my face(you know how some people react);Brethren only God saved my eye,cos I had a deep cut under my left eye nd nose,so deep that I could see my cartilage,immediately I started feeling dizzy,I summoned courage nd began to prophesy that I will not die!This is not a joke...

WONDERS OF MILK

Hello cupcakes, happy sunday nd hope you had fun during the hols,well well well,jst wnt to tnk u all 4 the views nd responses I got from my first post,infact I was jst blushing(dnt mind me jare)Story Story.... Somtimes ago a frnd asked me if one could tone up without the use of cream cos dey re full of chemicals, Glad to let u all know Milk can also lighten the skin because of its lactic acid content. Lactic acid has the ability to lighten up, brighten and tone skin complexion because it reduces melanin.

However, skin lightening process takes some time so be patient enough and try to use it on regular basis for best result.

It causes lightening of skin complexion by almost half of the skin shade to most people. If this happens, reduce your topical application of milk to only two times a week to maintain its effect.

Learn about some recipes for skin lightening with milk.
