Eyebrows on fleek, today, everyday!!!

Hello everyone,

One conversation I have often goes like this:
Me: Omg! What happened to your brows?
Other: Errrm, I couldn't come to do my brows and they were already grown out. So, i tried to do them myself.
Me: Ok....you realise you took them all off?
Other: *sad face* yes. What do I do now?

In between brow appointments, if you have new growth you would like to get rid of, I would recommend using a pair of tweezers. Looking in the mirror and seeing clearly the new growth sprouting, take one hair at a time and pull out with a pair of tweezers. It is easy and very specific. Allowing you to pick hair strand by strand and for precise touching up. No dramatic accidents except you get tweezer-happy and overdo it. :) have fun trying this out.

A timeless dress and pretty pink lipstick

Hey people,

It's been too long since I last put up a post but I intend to do so regularly from now on.

Here is a picture of my beautiful bride, Funmi Akin-Oludumila.
She was such a phenomenal bride. I had such a rich experience working with her.

Ah! I heard so many good things about Milk of Magnesia(MOM) so I decided to try it out and it worked like a dream. For her skin, I used my very trusty No. 7 primer and then overlaid it with the MOM. Then I applied Mary Kay bronze 507 foundation, Iman clay 2 luminous powder to give a subtle glow and then MAC NC 50 powder.

I loved her dress, I thought it was very timeless. But I also thought that red lipstick was predictably the choice to go with for a retro, classic look. I decided to do something else and go with an equally timeless fushia pink instead.  She's wearing MAC Girl About Town.

I hope you love the look as much as I did.

Till next time,
XOXO.
