Curvy Geekery/Clutch Culture 1 yr Anniversary Show

Hi Beauties,
I have been MIA lately haven't I? I know but I have good reason, between studying for exams and working and other things in my life I have neglected blogging a bit. But I will try to make it up to you. On the upside I have  huge announcement..... *Drum Roll please* As of Saturday I wrote my last exam and I will be graduating on the 17th with a diploma in Professional Make Up Artistry!!!!! Yay! Thanks for all the support and I will make you guys proud. I am so ready to begin my career that I am thinking 5 to 10 yrs ahead. I have been putting alot of updates on the facebook page however since it takes less time to blog so check out the facebook page in the mean time until I post everything right here.

Another update... My very talented bff Mo recently reached a milestone- Her blog "Curvy Geekery" made 1 yr and she decided to throw a fashion show with her new collection of clutches called "Feeling Good" from Clutch Culture to celebrate the occasion. I got the pleasure of doing the models' makeup with another MUA- Megan Morrison and together we pulled off a dark smokey eye with false lashes and matte red lips look on all models. The show was amazing, the clutches were amazing, the entertainment was amazing, the guest looked amazing and the atmosphere was of course amazing. From this night, I know that this is what I want to do with my life.


Here are some pics from backstage courtesy of Shauna Brown.

Mo's Makeover Part 2

The Second prettified session with Mo was for her photoshoot for a magazine. She was being recognised for being a black entrepreneur in Nova Scotia yay! For this look, I  wanted to keep it neutral and sophisticated. Her purple dress and burgundy shoes along with one of her clutches already had enough colour in them.

LOOK:

FACE: MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation NW55, Pro Longwear Concealer

Cheeks: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Trio Powder in TripleFusion.

EYES: ELF Quad in Butternut, Maybelline Colossal Mascara.

LIPS: MAC Desire lipglass, LA Color lip liner (cherry red), Stila 24 kt gold lipgloss

Glowing and highlighted cheekbones

We are wearing the same lip colour, 

 I think I've discovered my calling. It's to give black women and other women of colour more options for every day makeup. I love dramatic looks but I love doing clean simple sophisticated makeup even more. Go and experiment now.
