Classic look- inspired by Audrey Hepburn

Hey Beauties, this was me yesterday. I think a red lip for work is fine as long as its a really subtle shade. I did a neutral eye with a red lip and my pearls to add to the classic look.  I also did my hair in a bouffant - Inspired by Audrey Hepburn in one of my favourite movies- Breakfast at Tiffany's. I love classic movies. Don't mind the cleavage, I had a jacket on at work.


I'm also in the transition of growing out my hair and so if you are like me bobby pins can become your best friend. This is an easy style for those who kept the back of their hair short. I just pinned the hair to the side and left the back down in a short of mohawk with the front in a poof or peacock. Yes black women can be inspired by Hollywood legends for every day styles :)

Work makeup

Hey beauties,so its another work week and I was feeling a bit inspired with my makeup the past few days. On Monday I was inspired by the purple poka dot shift dress I wore with a black boyfriend jacket and some lavender Aldo pumps.  I tell people this is my 5 minute face and they don't believe me. If I do work on my eyes, I spend most of my times on blending and keep the lips simple with just some light gloss. In this case its the stila baby pink gloss (because pink lips and purple shadow work well together) Also for the summer I opt not to wear liquid foundation instead I prime my face with my GOSH primer or my Ponds Clarant Oil Control Lotion and then just apply my MAC Studio fix foundation plus powder and to set it I use rice powder and mist my face with MAC Fix Spray plus. The flash picks up the rice powder on my face but it doesn't look that ghost like in natural lighting.

This is my version of a reverse purple smokey eye using colours from coastalscents 36 smokey eye palette

 Have a good week.
