NATURALS!!!!!

 Hello everyone! 
How are you all? I ought to have put up this post two weeks ago but I travelled to my village, and got back a little stressed and tired. Then again, been struggling with it until I got to lagos and I decided I must do this today no matter what. I actually did this makeup two weeks ago for my sis and cuz. I like this look becos its very simple and can be rocked anytime of the day. I would like to add that, to make this look a little bit toned down for a day look you can take off the lashes, but for an evening look you can add the fasle lashes to give you that glam look just like I have done.
As usual I have written down the products I used..

SEPTEMBER BRIDE!

Hello everyone its been a while!
 How have you all been?
 I ve been off the blog for somedays due to some distractions, anyways that's not an issue. I can assure you my blog is gonna remain informative.
This is my first bride in september, she is really a tough one, LOL! I tried my best to make her look good, she kept doing the don'ts which resulted in using longer time than expected but turned out nice though. Although,we had a trial before the wedding I still had to change her lip colour three times, on her wedding day, WOW! 
One of the challenges I faced was her very small eyelids so i had to work on a colour that will bring out her eyes instead of a colour that would make her eyes smaller. She also barely has lashes, fixing the false lashes was a challenge as she kept twitching her eyes but I still had to do my job. She also had really oily skin so I had to apply a lot of face primer before the foundation which turned out well. Personally i think Ijeoma turned out beautiful and she was happy with the out come so was I
