Independence Inspiration

Slay of the Day- Independence Inspiration

Trinidad & Tobago gained our independence on 31st August 1962 from under the ruling of Great Britain. This is usually celebrated by an Independence Day Parade, followed by fireworks at night. I've had the experience of being on both sides of the coin. I've served my country as a military person on many of these parades, feeling a sense of pride as people cheered you on, and now that I am on the sidelines I enjoy cheering others on.  

Some of the ways persons show their patriotism is through face painting of our national flag, or a symbolic makeup look, which of course I love doing.


This patriotic look even transcends to our Carnival, displayed as a midnight robber or on the faces of masqueraders.



As our Independence Day nears yet again I am excited to see the independence inspired looks and to create one of my own, which I will share in a follow up post.

Please feel free to comment on and share.....Thanks for reading!

Choosing the Right Concealer

Slay of the Day- Choosing the Right Concealer Using the right concealer can give you a beautifully flawless look when applying your makeup. If the correct one is chosen it can cover blemishes, conceal dark circles or spots, or give the look of evenly toned skin. The wrong one can been seen through your foundation and attract attention to your problem areas, show up your blemishes, or show up as a white cast around your eyes. You need to find one that's best for your skin type. For dry skin it is not wise to use a liquid concealer that leaves you with a matte finish, instead try a stick concealer which is usually creamy and pigmented, which can be dotted on the area to be covered or swiped on. After which you blend it with your beauty blender or concealer brush. Coverage ranges from medium to full. For oily skin try a liquid concealer that leaves a matte finish. This type of concealer is great as you can build up on the desired coverage you want from light to full...

Weird Makeup Trends

Weird Makeup Trends For every great makeup trend created there's a weird, crazy one to match, not all are a hit. Here are some weird makeup trends that had me wondering if the creators were on some sort of substance. The Braided Brow As I mentioned in my post on brows I love seeing perfect brows, so imagine my astonishment at seeing these brow trends. As much as it looks perfectly sculpted and you have to be really talented to get it to look like a braid, it is beyond my comprehension why someone would want to rock braided brows. The Feathered Brow If the braided brow wasn't bad they came up with the feathered brow. Like why, are you going to fly away? The Squiggly Brow Then they thought of the squiggly or wavy eyebrow.  The Squiggly Lips To match the squiggly brows the squiggly lips were created that had me screaming whyyyyyyy??? Nose Hairs Who would purposely want hair sticking out of their nose, especially and female??? ...

Today I will take you through some steps to achieve this grad glam. Apply an eye shadow primer or concealer and let it dry. Next apply a neutral base eye shadow all over your eyelid  Taking your blending brush, touch the tip  into a matte, dark brow eye shadow and apply it to the outer corner of the eye in a “V” shape and blend into the crease. Using a tapping motion, apply a shimmery pink champagne shade on the up to the mid point and out to the inner corner of the eye.  Use the...
