Oge's Makeover

Hi Beauties,

Its an historic day in my Country Nigeria today, as Nigerian decides who rules her for the next four years. I pray that the elections go well, peace in every state and poll center and that this elections will bring about a new season of progress in our dear county. Lets go out to exercise our right even though I won't be doing that today because my PVC ( Permanent Voters Card) is no where to be found, *sad* but no worries I decided to update my blog... *smiles*. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Oge walked into the studio with her sister to purchase some products, while she was shopping, It occurred to me to offer her a makeover after her purchase, trust me, most ladies would jump at such opportunity and so did Oge.  We fixed a day and here's Oge
enjoy pictures below....



    
I'm so in love with her final look, the colors worked well on her skin giving a glow to her beautiful dark skin. From the final look, I think Oge can pass for an Hausa lady, but from her name its obvious she's not though, I later confirm she grew up in Sokoto,  so she's got the Hausa gene or beauty in her.....lol.

Product review: Hegai & Esther Eyebrow definer



There was so much rave about this indigenous product late last year, that I couldn't resist the urge to go buy mine. Though I'm not always quick to purchase every new product in town but I finally made up my mind to go get it 2 months ago. 

 

Packaging

The product comes in a small jar packed in a white box with a brush applicator for applying the brow gel. 

Hegai &Esther says

H & E eyebrow definer glides smoothly on the eyebrow giving a vibrant finish. it is waterproof, smudge-proof, and safe to use on the waterline. use brush to pick and apply.


My thoughts


The H&E eyebrow definer is very easy to apply, and  little goes a long way. Although it looks creamy in the jar, but gives a dry finish after application. One thing I found most interesting is that its ideal for different skin shades so I use on both light and dark skinned clients. It now comes in 2 shades "Nubia"  and "Ebony".



Where to buy 

Hegai & Esther.com

Price
#2000

I will definitely repurchase this product as its a great buy. who else has tried it? please share your thoughts....

Stay beautiful...

LOTD: Purple Eyes


Hello lovelies, 
Sure most of you don't know that purple is one of my favorite colors. I thought I had not created a purple eye look in a while. So when Chioma walked into the studio with her pink flowing gown, I got the inspiration for a purple eye look....




On her face,
Milk of magnesia as primer
Mary Kay 607 and 708
LA pro HD concealer -fawn
Ben Nye powder -banana
Maybelline clear smooth powder - mocha
Maybelline clear smooth powder - cacao to contour
Zaron contour kit
Mary Kay  blush





On her Eyes,
Hegai & Esther brow gel
BH party girl palette - silver & purple
Black opal shadow -crease
Zaron gel liner
BH false lashes



On her lips, I liner using Tara lip pencil and Bh Rouge lip liner and applied  Mac Ruby woo on her entire lips. I didn't use a lipgloss because she has full lips so as not to make them appear fuller.


This look is  Simple and very easy to recreate.

Thanks for stopping by...
