THE TRIPLE THREAT


There are times I amaze myself.





What way to better play up your looks then to combine all 3 elements: the winged liner, highlight bronzer, and the classic burgundy lips. I woke up with the need to exemplify my “Mother Africa” look. This is my every day makeup look I tend to go for when I need more than the pale lips and mascara. 

Makeup Breakdown: 
  •   Foundation: My tinted moisturiser can find post here . 
  •  Concealer: Makeup Forever HD foundation in 170 as my concealer
  • Powder: To set my tinted moisturiser, I set it with Ben Nye Powders: Sienne, Chestnut, and Neutral Translucent (which I mix all together to get my skin colour)---It is nothing worse than to use powder that oxides darker than your original skin tone.
  • Contour: I use Ben Nye powder in Chestnut
  • Highlighter: Apt.5 highlight bronzer 
  •  Blush: Revlon in Hint of Ruby
  •  Lip: Maybelline Lip Express lipstick in Berry Quick 
  • Brows: I keep my brows very natural. Learn why from here
To make my makeup not look overly made up, I spray my setting spray (which is mixture of glycerine, water, vitamin E, and Ben nye setting spray) on a cotton pad, then I lightly press the mixture onto my face. Then I use my foundation brush that still has a bit of my tinted moisturiser to take out some of the shine the spray will  create.

      Hi Nana, for your skin tone a mixture of chestnut and ebony powders will compliment your skin tone and help set foundation. Please let me know how this works for me.

      Thank you for the love. You are more of my skin tone. I usually mix sienna and a tiny bit of chestnut together in order to obtain my skin tone. Once the powder oxidizes it will compliment your tone better. Please let me know how it works for you.
