Hey People,
How is your day going? The year 2015 is gradually coming to its end and I am sure we have a lot to be thankful for. Even those challenges that seem to be taking a lot from us are still going to make us thankful all in the end. And so I urge you to hang in there, have faith and it will all work out. Amen?
Today is all about this look I have up there. To be honest, I was filming the look for my youtube channel and I absolutely had no intentions to do a post on it, but the rate at which the weather changed on me was so unbelievable; one minute it was sunny, and the next minute, it became very cloudy(just when I was tying the gele).
It became so dark I could not even see myself in the flip-out screen. I was about to fling something when Bukola, the ever present voice of reason, my amiable assistant turned sister, made a suggestion that I continue with the look and do a blog post instead. So, here we are… Thank God for surrounding us with reasonable people.
I will try to be a little detailed with this post since it is all about glitter application and I know some of you might be struggling a little with this. I have already gotten some requests to do this post and I hope this will help you guys. Trust me, it is almost the simplest thing ever. With a little practice, you will be looking like a well-lit Christmas tree just in time for the Yuletide season.

DeleteHello Anon,
ReplyDeleteI find that glitter application with the lash glue tends to add bulk to the eyelids, and over time, when the glue dries completely, the glitter tends to chip and flake. Application with glitter glue is seamless and almost touch proof. Definitely worth the extra money. I bought mine online from yanga beauty if I remember correctly.
I will try to be more consistent and iam happy you are learning a lot here
Thank you so much for your kind wishes. God bless you. I am not certain I want to post my wedding pictures. But I will definitely post my own look for the day.
Do let me know how the glue works for you.
Fantastic tutorial How do I get the sublime powder. I started using blackUp foundation for my jobs because of ur tutorials and iI can see d diff. Altho es cost oooo, will they ever do sales?
ReplyDeleteSo pls for the sublime.... Must I buy all the shades? I am based in Abuja
Hello Anonymous,
ReplyDeletethank you for your comments. I am so glad that you are loving the products. You know what our people say now, beta soup, na moni kill am. I will keep you posted on any sale or giveaway activity coming soon.
For the sublime powder, there are 5 shades in total. Since you are a makeup artist, you will definitely have a diverse clientelle. So different shades for different folks.
A fantastic tip is that each shade can double as a bronzer for a lighter person.
For example, Sublime 03 will work as a highlighter for me, and can double as a bronzer for someone lighter than myself.
Please visit Montaigne Place at the Silver bird entertainment centre in Abuja or Grand Towers Mall in APO for your blackUp fixes. Enjoy
Your responses are everything..... I love tips and tricks like these on here. Please don't ever stop blogging.... How about YouTube?
ReplyDeleteHello TYobaKay, hope your trials went well on Monday...... I am pleased you are having fun here..... I will be as consistent as I possibly can. YouTube will resume next yr, by God's grace.
