Merry Christmas

Hi beauties....

It's Christmas yaay.... Here's wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. May this season of joy and  love bring us all more joy, love, peace and hope. And may Christ the reason for this season fill your hearts and homes. It will bring us all good tidings in Jesus name.

Beautiful Mayowa, a mother of two stopped by the studio and I decided to give her a face beat. After checking all the available materials, we came up with this combination which happens to be the colours of Christmas. Though, we both didn't plan it,  but it worked for the season. Lol...

And lets no forget to share in the spirit of Christmas... Merry christmas all

Bridal Makeover: EDITH

Hello Beauties,

Few weeks back, I had the pleasure of being Edith's makeup artist for her Introduction. Edith is a friend and a makeup artist. she had her training with us few years ago so working on her face was not strange to me as I had gotten very familiar with her features.

I started out trimming her brows, filled it and highlighted. I decided to go simple on the eyes and add some glam with false lashes but never knew my bride would not be comfortable in them. I tried to convince her she will get used to it, but hey.... a bride needs all the comfort she can get on her big day. it isnt a time for trial....so, I added double coats of  mascara to lengthen her natural lashes.
For the lips, I choose red most times, you can never go wrong with red.

I totally love the final look and Edith loves it too. Congratulations dear God bless your home.

EVENT: beauty african exhibition and conference

Hi Beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. its been a busy month can't believe its half of the month already. There's been so much going on in the beauty industry these past weeks, and  personally have been up to alot of things which i would let you know about soon.

Last week. the Beauty Africa Exhibition & Conference held for 3 days, It was organized by the Africa's largest exhibition organisers- Informa Life Sciences exhibition which has already established many successful events in the beauty industry.This event showcased different products, information and services related to beauty and cosmetics sector. so many beauty vendors like Zaron Makeup, Khuraira cosmetics,beauty kink, ladystar international, karafi hair, design esentials, were present.
I could only attend on the first day and for me it was so amazing. the planning, organization, speakers were all impressive. this is not an event to be missed at all, so glad I could attend.

 Speakers at the conference include Tara Fela-Durotoye, Lola Maja, Erica Freemantyle, Fatima Mamza, Oke Maduewesi, Funmi Odegbami. Although i took some pictures, I decided to listen more to the speakers so I could learn more. Below are some of the points of each speakers i caught.

 Mrs Tara Fela durotoye of House of Tara she shared on building an African brand. She said as a brand, you should be recognizable, describable and desirable. -embrace your own style, it makes you special. she also emphasized the importance of building a world class brand and still being true to who we are as Nigerians and Africans. Excellence should never be compromised- as a makeup artist, the quality of your job should speak excellence.Also, Passion and commitment is very important to the building a your business.

Okey Maduewesi CEO Zaron cosmetics blew my mind after sharing her story. She's indeed a role model after losing her husband in 2006 she said she didn't want to be one of those widows to be pitied and that she was going to make her late husband proud.... wow...I celebrate this African woman. I admire her strength and courage. She said she built the ZARON brand from nothing. She spoke on the power the mind- greatness, success all begins in the mind, you have to believe in yourself, believe you can do it, believe you are more than this, you can achieve much more.I was indeed challenged and inspired. God bless her more and increase her greatness.

Funmi Odegbami CEO MINK a london based makeup school shared on focusing on opportunities in other beauty industry like film, TV, fashion, theatre etc.

Khuraira Musa of Khuraira cosmetics spoke on being passionate about what you do.

Lola Maja of Sacred beauty also shared on passion, giving your job the best, love what you do, be open minded and always willing to learn.

Fatima Mamza of Mamza beauty did a live demo of highlighting and contouring.
Mary Jane of Zaron cosmetics also demonstrated on a model using Zaron cosmetics.

Enough said.... enjoy the rest in pictures.

Till my next post, stay beautiful.

Product Review: Zaron lip liners

Hi beauties,

Thank you for stopping by. Hope you doing great. Today's review is on Zaron lip pencils.
I got 2 shades (brick chick and fussy fuchsia) a while ago and since then, I fell in love with them.

Fussy fushia is a bright pink

Brick chick is purple, its been one of my favorite lip liners, I get to line it with most of my purple, pink and nude lipsticks.

Brick Chick EZ01

Last week I saw some other colours and I decided to pick 2 shades I don't have in my lip liner kits. Wild vine a bright orange color perfect for any orange base lipstick or coral, can be worn alone or with a gloss.
and  Stallion which is a deep wine

Stallion EZ014

These liners are amazing, apply easily, you can blend with your finger or a lip brush. Both are longer than the two I got initially. 

Overall:
I love these liners they can be worn alone, with a lipsticks or a gloss.
They are also very affordable. #750 each.

I would definitely repurchase.

Till my next post, stay beautiful
