Hey Pretties,

Like I promised in my last post, I was only going to do lip swatches to share with you,but decided to do a look that I believe is simple enough to be replicated anytime you need to look Va-Va-Voom *winks *

>

Plum Paradise 425 Lipstick

Vibrant Mandarin 885 Lipstick

Red Revival 645 Lipstick

Shocking Coral 870 Lipstick

Nearly There 205 Lipstick

Fuscia Flash 865 Lipstick



I used my regular face products which you can find in my 'Get The Look' posts. Other products I used are :

- Maybelline Colossal Kajal in BLACK ( applied to the upper and lower lash lines and smudged out for a smokey effect )

- Maybelline Colossal Mascara in BLACK ( For definition, volume & length )

- Sleek Contour Kit in Medium ( For definition and highlighting of my cheekbones )

- Sleek Blush by 3 Palette in Pink Sprint ( A palette of pink blushes to add color to my cheeks and face )

- Nars blush in Taj Mahal ( An orange blush to add some warmth to my cheeks )

Any products you have in those shades are definitely good enough to replicate the look. Have fun recreating the looks and please tag me on instagram : @sitprettymakeupmaverick

The Lagos Fashion & Design Week (LFDW) in pictures

Hey Pretties,

for those following me on instagram, you probably know i was part of the makeup team that worked backstage at the LFDW. The Event which was highly publicized was sponsored by GT Bank (The Primary Sponsor of the event), British Council, MTN, Maybelline Cosmetics, Belvedere Vodka, Style House Files et al

Maybelline was the official makeup sponsor for the fashion week & heading the makeup team was none other than Bimpe Onakoya (who was recently named as the Creative Design Director of Maybelline West Africa)

Get The Look : Icy Blue & Sunflower Petals

Hey Pretties,

Adetutu's Handcut & Aso-oke Combo were 2 Bold Colors in Sunflower Yellow & Cobalt Blue & being a Plus-Sized Lady,you might expect her to play safe. 

Oh No,she didn't!She went all out & you'll agree with me that it did suit her. The Peach Coral Beads complimented it all so well,i don't think i would have worn it better.

For the look,i went out of my comfort zone and used the actual colors of her clothes (on her eyes) which i hate doing because i'm of the school of thought that matching colors to clothes is somewhat amateurish. But this time around, it sooooo worked. I chose to
pair the eyes with peach colored nude lips.

When i was done, she was happy about everything especially the lipcolor as her husband doesn't like loud lip colors


Products I Used : 

Face 

MaryKay Medium Coverage Foundation in 600 & 607
Milani Secret Cover Concealer Cream in Honey (to highlight)
BlackUp 2-Way Cake in TW 11 & 12
Mac Mineralise Skinfinish Natural in Dark
Sleek Contour Kit in Medium
Sleek Blush by 3 Palette  in Pink Sprint

Eyes

MAC Frost Eyeshadows in Gorgeous Gold (in the inner corner of her eye)
Shades of Blus from a Miss Rose Wet Eyeshadow Palette
Wet & Wild Gel Liner in Black



Lips

MAC lipliner in Chestnut
Zaron lipliner in ClayPot
Zaron lipstick in Barefaced
Sleek lipgloss in Champagne

Are you getting married and aren't sure if such bright colors would look great together? Now you know!

Please send me pictures if you decide to go in this direction : sitpretty412@yahoo.com / tag me on Instagram - @sitprettymakeupmaverick

Detuts, The Natural Beauty!!

Hey Pretties,

Unashamed

 Adetutu is one lady who grew from a client to a friend as i've grown to become fond of her. Over a year ago,she contacted me about wanting me to be her makeup artist and so i somewhat knew every stage of the planning process even though she's based in the UK.

What didn't detutu ask my opinion about when it came to the choice of colors, vendors to use and other sometimes overlooked details. It was such a huge honor as she took my opinion on a lot of things seriously. Imagine her saying 'Lemme Ask Sister Kunbi' most times, so when i did meet and her family in person,it was some kind of reunion hahaha.

Detutu is a lady who knows what she wants & i knew what she wanted was pretty,classy & timeless & i tried to interprete her unspoken thoughts. She would ping me at any hour oo, there's not 1day we didn't chat & if at any point we didn't in the last 1year, i would feel guilty.

Soft & Romantic

Events went well & all her vendors delivered thankfully. Detuts, i wish you and TK the best of life together in Good health, Peace & Wealth in Jesus' Name. Thank You For Sitting Pretty!

Learn how to achieve one of the looks in my next post.
