My experience at the Lagos Makeup Fair.

Image
 The just concluded lagos Makeup Fair was an amazing experience for me as a makeup enthusiast. It was a two day event which took place on the 16th -17th of june, 2017 at the Classique Events place, Oregun.This year's fair was said to be the 28th edition....... such amazing consistency.   I arrived the makeup fair with my entire account balance in cash (avoiding atm wahala) feeling like i was going to buy the entire building. In 30minutes, i had blown through my cash, and i had just a little nylon to show for it. Makeup is expensive!   My first point of call was the mymakeupng stall (instagram handle). The hospitality was topnotch. The attendant opened a bottle of wine for moi and treated me to cup cakes. I ended up spending 50percent of my money there o(fine wine). I can however say for a fact that they stock up quality products that are scarce to find like skindinavia primer, skindinavia setting spray, black opal stick foundation, joeur lip toppers ,elf brushes (orig...

How to apply foundation flawlessly

Image
Moisturize your face before applying makeup to avoid your face looking flaky. Remember to tap it into the skin and not rub. Prime your face to avoid your makeup sliding right of your face. This allows your face to soak in the foundation without any hassle. Allow it to dry before applying foundation. Use the right tool for your foundation application.it could be a brush or blending sponge depending on your personal preference. Make sure whatever you decide to use is clean to avoid germs. Select the right shade for your skin tone. Using lighter shades will have your face looking completely different from the rest of your body. Be sure to blend your foundation down the nape of your neck towards your chest area. After applying your foundation,set it with your powder to give it a perfect finish. No matter how late you are, don t skip your powder.

I have particularly shopped at the ikeja store,the reception was warm and i had varieties to choose from. The prices are on an average scale, not so cheap and also, not overly expensive. The quality of the goods sold are good judging from my personal experience and the shopping enviroment is quite conducive. Also, their collections are quite trendy if you are a trend follower. If you are a steady follower of this boutique , be sure to benefit from the periodic sales programme.  The boutique is located at 62b opebi road by salvation bustop, ikeja.

5 things to never compromise on as a makeup artist.

BRUSHES You will never have enough brushes. For every MUA,a brush set is an investment. In most cases,mua's buy individual brushes from different brands to set up their personal effective collection. Sometimes, a particular brush can serve multiple functions. Apart from your expertise and training, the quality of your brush determines the overall outcome of your makeup application. FOUNDATION Its called foundation for a purpose. An mua must invest in quality foundation. It doesnt have to be expensive to be fantastic. Understanding skin types and skin tones is vital in getting the best use out of any foundation. Different brands with different compositions, so you will definitely find a perfect match. Lay a good foundation. FACE PRIMER Priming the face is vital when applying makeup. Of what use is sculpting your clients  face to perfection only to have it slide off in minutes leave your clients with patches. Choose wisely. LIPSTICK Just like brushes,you will never have enough...
