Hello! Once again I hope that I find you well. I am doing well and thank you for stopping by. So my last article was about using less makeup. So after I wrote it I started to think of the reasons why sometimes one might feel the need to apply layer upon layer of makeup. One significant reason that I thought of was the need to cover blemishes, scars, hyper pigmentation or under eye dark circles. I remember a time when I was also very conscious of the blemishes on my face. They just wouldn’t go away no matter what I did. Then I came across something called colour correcting. When I heard about it , I thought wow this could be good for me. Surprisingly, I was right! When I first  found out about it, I found that a lot of people with my skin tone (brown with a red/orange undertone) were raving about the LA Girl Orange corrector. I then decided to give it a try. Initially, I was a bit intimidated by the colour because it’s so orange and pigmented. But once I applied it my blem...

Hi, thank you for taking time to stop by. I really appreciate it. Well, my last post was about the basic order of makeup application. I hope it helped one way or the other. Still on that note I have just decided that it would be a good idea to also address the importance of using a light hand when applying makeup, and I mean literally. This is a very touchy and controversial topic, but again one that I think is important. Imagine walking down the street and everyone is looking at you as you walk past them. Your confidence is boosted right? Ok, imagine then finding out that they were only staring at your over made up face and layers of products that you have on. That of course would be embarrassing and painful. But, when you have the correct amount on, you will certainly still look and feel beautiful. This may sound like a cliché but makeup is meant to enhance your features not change you. I understand that we live in an age where we see images of beautiful people with perfect makeu...

Hello! I hope I find you well. So, I have decided to write about basic makeup application, or rather  the order of application. There are a lot of people who know how to apply makeup, but sometimes knowing what to apply after what can be a nightmare, not only that but it can also result in a big “mess up” so to speak, and that is not a good thing especially if you are going for a polished look. Sometimes you can have a lot of makeup products, some really expensive too, but if you do not know what to do with them or how to use them it can be really stressful.  I have been approached by people asking me for makeup tips and how to use certain products or how to achieve a certain look. Truth is, there is a lot to learn about makeup, especially if you are a beginner. It’s a process, an art. I’m not trying to scare anyone , but there really is a lot to learn. Especially these days when new products are being introduced almost daily. However, knowing the basics will certainly sav...
