Bridal Feature : Bisco

Hey Pretties,

Bisola(better known as Bisco) happens to be an aburo(Younger sister) and when I heard the good news that she was getting married, I was hopeful I would be her makeup artist.

It initially didn't look that way because I was booked for the chosen dates, but when the dates got changed,I was available on one of both days.

If there's anything I was truly glad about, it was the fact that she completely trusted me to do some magic. I can categorically tell you that this is good news for any makeup artist especially if you're like me and hardly do trials(to me,a trial and the actual thing just aren't the same-No Motivation)

With all the Oohs & Aahs from her friends,she was all smiles and that was enough for me :-D

Products Used :

Eyes
MAC's Expensive Pink,Carbon and Orange
Casabella Gel Eyeliner in INK

i finally got a few minutes(ermm....actually hours) to put these looks together,considering my boss (baby dieko) always wanted my attention.

I love trying looks out and pairing them with different lip colors, that way, anyone who doesn't like a certain lipcolor has other options,hence......

I settled for Look 1 as my best of the three, paired with lashes of course.

 For look 1,i used :
- Zaron's lip pencil in Prune Juice
- Sleek's High Shine lipgloss in Bare

For look 2, i used :
- Zaron's lip pencil in Cappuccino
- Sleek High Shine lipgloss in Champagne

For look 3,i used :
- Jordana slim lip pencil in Plush Red
- BM Pro longlasting lipgloss in Redd 

For the eyes,i used :
1 - Bobbi Brown matte eyeshadow in Baby Pink
2 - MAC matte shadows in Fig.1 & Carbon
3 - MAC matte shadow in Orange

Replicate : Abi's White Wedding Look

Hey Pretties,

It's Christmas day & here's wishing all readers of my blog a very Merry Christmas. May Christ the Reason For the season dwell in your hearts richly & may our lives be a reflection of his wondrous love towards us. 

I would have loved to do a holiday inspired look for you, but mehn - O dikwa next year,lol. In the interim, i decided to teach you how i achieved one of Abi's bridal looks for those who need some inspiration for what look to wear today or this festive season.

It was difficult deciding which of Abi's looks to share with you, but i decided this look is the easiest of the 2.

You can't go wrong with this Look

 For her Eyes -

1). I covered dark areas of her eyes with some concealer, outlined her bows with Davis's Brow Pencil in '018' & filled it in with BM Pro's Brow Powder in 'Auburn'.
2). I then highlighted her brows with a concealer 2 shades lighter than her skin tone & set it with a matching shadow with a hint of shimmer
3). I went over her lids with Bm Pro's Eyeshadow base in 'Light' & blended it into her crease
4). In her crease i blended Casabella's eyeshadow in 'Navajo Brown' to add definition & depth to her eye area
5). In the inner corner to 3/4 of her lids i used a mix of MAC's Eyeshadows in 'Paradisco' & 'Expensive Pink' & for the outer 1/4 of her lid, i used a mix of MAC's Eyeshadows in 'Carbon' & 'Fig 1'
6). I lined her upper lashline with Casabella's Indelible Gel Eyeliner in 'INK' & applied KISS by I-Envy lashes in 'Au Naturale 02 - KPE 09'
7). On her lower lashes,i went in with Jordana's Easyliner Eyeliner in 'Midnight Blue'

 For her Lips -

1). I lined 3/4 of her lips with Jordana's Lip Pencil in 'Plum' & blended with my finger
2). I filled in the inner lower lip with Jordana's Lipstick in 'Barely Pink' (A Baby Pink Color with Shimmer in it)
3). I filled her entire upper lip and perimeter of her lower lip with Black Opal's Lipstick in 'Congo Pink' (A Fuscia Pink Color just like what you see in my Logo)
4). I blended both lip colors with Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lipgloss in 'Sugar High' - That's my HG clear lipgloss right there *wink*

So try it out & i would be delighted to see what you were able to come up with. Have a Fun & memorable Holiday - sitpretty412@yahoo.com

LOTD : Walking on the Dark Side

Hey Pretties,

Are you daring? Would you like to wear this look often? Don't know how to go about it? 

To further buttress the point of how black & pigmented the 'Mabrook' Eyeshadow i reviewed in my last post is,i decided to do this look for you.

I'm a firm believer in Smokey eyes blended beautifully & as much as i love the look,i've never tried it in Black before.I Love My Purple anyday anytime.

I chose this lipcolor as i had bought it for over a year & hadn't come close to trying it on anyone.Plus,i really haven't rocked dark eyes & dark lips before.

Products Used - 

Face 
 MaryKay Medium-coverage Liquid Foundation in 507 & 607
Milani Mineral Powder in Medium
MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural in Dark
Sleek Contour Kit in Medium (To contour my cheeks & nose slightly & i used the highlighter on the bulb of my nose)


Eyes
Mabrook Matt Eyeshadow in Black
MAC Matte Eyeshadow in Carbon
BmPro Matte Eyeshadow in Moccassin

Lips

MAC Creme Lipstick in Dark Side

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!!

So this fateful day,she asked that i come take some pictures. But the catch here was that i had to do my makeup myself unlike her other clients who had come for one beauty service or the other & trust me,i came armed with all my favorite products & brushes.
