Pretty Makeover : Clean Beauty!

Hey Pretties,

Ejiro happens to be a current student of mine & as part of the training i give,i teach DIY where i help you identify the strongest features of your face & show you how to make them look stunning.

Ejiro's idea of makeup (The Way She Came That Morning)

I believe a makeup artist/any woman in the beauty industry should be able to project her services just by the way she appears . I mean, you can't sell Spa beauty treatments to someone when you have awful & scarred skin & expect good business.

That aside,we began the class with a proper foundation & concealer routine. I Shared the importance of applying makeup on very clean skin as well as the effectiveness of Primers. You can judge by her picture below the difference doing so makes.

A Proper Base Laid Out

Then, i went ahead to show her how to bring out the eyes,lips & face without a Myriad of wild looking-colors. Most clients i've met believe the louder the colors, the more work you've done. I BEG TO DIFFER!!

ROLLY's TRIAL

Hey Pretties,

last year i was opportuned (i use this word a lot because i believe everyday God gives to us presents an opportunity which we either take advantage of or destroy with our actions) to work on one of the most beautiful women i have ever met (dark-complexioned women, pls take note!!).

A mutual friend referred me to Rolly & after a bridal trial, the deal was sealed.

Gorgeousness though Bare!!

Trust me, she didn't hesitate to tell me what she didn't like

U don't have to wear reds all the time, try something Peachy
Products Used :

Face : Flori Roberts Cream to Powder Foundations in 'Sepia E3' & 'Mocha E6'
           MAC Prep + Prime Translucent Finishing Powder

Eyes : MAC Coppering & Embark eyeshadows , BM Pro Moccasin

Cheeks : Black Opal 'Peachtree' Blush

Lips : Milani '203 Deluxe' & '208 Cashmere' Velvet Creamy Lipcolor

Rolly is an absolutely calm person and if she didn't feel something, she spoke her mind immediately which i think is very cool. She had great faith in me & that meant the world to me.

Fastforward to the d-days, Engagement & White Wedding, i must confess, her transformations were Top-notch. Some People are just blessed with Beauty & Rolly darling, you are one of them!!

The Next Post unveils how she looked on both occasions
