ARE HAIR AND MAKEUP TRIALS NECESSARY ?
It is not necessary but recommended as it gives you a chance to see the hair stylist and makeup artist at work. It is also an opportunity to try out any looks you may have in mind for your special day. If it's not your normal go-to stylist \ artist, a trial is worth it. It will help you realize what you do and don't like on yourself and give you one less thing to worry about on your wedding day.
Another thing to keep in mind.....the day flies by. You may think you have hours, but it's going to go by in a blink of an eye. If you don't have things nailed down, you're going to get stressed quickly. . However, if you are happy to book your wedding without a trial ,that is also great! Some trials are not free and it will be a chance to save money.
I would love to hear from you.

INTO THE LIPSTICK
Lipstick Shades: How to Pick the Right Ones
If I had to teach someone just one thing about lip color it would be this: '' Find a lipstick that looks good on your face when you are wearing absolutely no makeup." -- Bobbi Brown, Beauty
Hello ! We know choosing a lipstick colour is the most difficult job ever! Well, here's making it a little easy. The best way to choose the right shade is by trying on lipsticks with no makeup on your face at all ! This has been the best trick in the history of choosing lipsticks .
The most flattering shade would be one or two shades darker than the natural shade of your lips.Red and pink shades come out nicely on the lips. For picking the right shade of red, firstly , BELIEVE that you CAN wear a red lipstick . It's not that difficult to carry it off. Picking the right shade for your skin tone is very important, though.
Pink skinned girls should opt for cherry red, those with olive skin can wear fire-engine red. Dark skin looks great with deep reds. It's best not to match lips to your outfit.
If you hate the red lipstick you just bought, don't worry , here's away to try and make it work for you. If the shade is too bright, try and blend it in with the darker shades of lipstick that you already have with you.
Don't outline your lips with a red lip liner, instead blend it in , apply it before you put the lipstick. This would help the lipstick stay and not wear off so quickly.
Thanks for all the comments, will love to hear from you soon.

My Cute Ile-Ife Bride
Hello Darlings,
Welcome!Here is another post of my beautiful work of “heart”. Only this time, my canvass is cute Nike. She is beautiful and homely. It was two days of fun and I enjoyed the experience. She had a great face and I couldn’t wait to get started.
I wanted her to look divine, her lips to look fuller and sexy, since she has got small lips and then open up her eyes a bit. I really loved the whole makeup session.
Enjoy the pictures *wink*.
Makeup in progress.....

I love her look!!!

Beauty, Joy and laughter
Welcome Darlings!
I was browsing through pictures of our make up jobs and decided to share some of them with my CBB readers .
This post is about Bunmi and her makeup session for her special day done by us .
The first time ever I saw Bunmi , I met her through her brother and she gave me a gift. Little did I know that I would be her makeup artist , some years to come . Bunmi is a beautiful woman with a great smile . I opted for the bold smokey look for her engagement and then a simple yet classy look for her for wedding makeup.
Did she like her makeup ..........your guess is as good as mine .
Enjoy the pictures , I hope you feel the excitement , joy and laughter .
Wow ! I am smiling back , she is beautiful !

Hello dearies,
Nothing
beats lovely looking lips any time any day.
Everyone has the look they love, some like to look natural, while others
prefer the glam look and then some the day time casual look .But whatever look
you prefer, it is nice when your lips are done properly .I have a friend that
has close to seven lip glosses she likes in her handbag,it shows ladies to an
extent are particular about the way their lips look.
Here are some makeup tips for the great looking
lips we all love:
Clean your lips properly before any application
Line your lips with a wine lip liner or a colour slightly darker than your
lipstick
Blend in the lip liner on the lip with a lip brush
Wear lipstick of your choice ,a nice shade of pink
, red is fine
Blend your lipstick in with a lip brush starting from the top end to the
bottom
For the matte look , bite in a bit of tissue paper
Re- apply the lipstick
Blend in well with the lip brush and you get great looking lips

HOW TO WEAR WELL GROOMED EYEBROWS
I was at my desk when a friend came in and commented on my eyebrows. She said she liked them and she wanted to know how to groom her eyebrows herself .....and so I decided to write about grooming your eyebrows properly. Grooming your eyebrows is real easy; all you need is a good pair of tweezers , a blade , concealer, a good contour brush, an eye pencil and an eyebrow filler.
WHAT TO DO
Shapen your eyebrows by plucking out the excess hair under the eyebrow bone,and in front using the tweezers . Carve out a nice shape by plucking lightly and then take a bit of the concealer with your contour brush , draw out the shape you want to form . Fill in the eyebrow hair lightly with eyepencil or eyeshadow filler. Use an eyebrow brush to even out the front edges , brush lightly until the eyebrow pencil \ eyebrow filler on the eyebrows looks very natural .
Use the remaining concealer on the contour brush to soften the edges of the shapened eyebrow .
WHAT YOU GET
You get well groomed eyebrows waiting to be flaunted at a party or at work .

HOW TO GET RID OF DARK EYES (HOME REMEDIES)
Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Drink
at least ten glasses of water everyday.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Dark circles may be hereditary for some people or simply a part of the aging process, but most people would agree that they are a struggle to conceal. When the fat pad beneath the eye begins to thin with age, it can create a sunken look to the under eye area. Studies have shown that sluggishness of blood flow underneath the eyes may also contribute to dark circles. Vitamin K has been found to diminish the appearance of these dark circles. A recent study published in Cosmetic and Toiletries, included two groups, one that applied an under eye cream containing sunscreen and another that applied an under eye cream containing a combination of vitamin K and retinol. An examination of the under eye color at the beginning of the study and at the end found a significant lightening in the group using the vitamin K and retinol combination.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, especially for people having dark circles under their eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #2: Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a cream.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #3: Grate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice, lanolin cream and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #4: Apply lemon juice on the black circles 2 times a day.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #5: Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #6: Apply crushed mint around the eye.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #7: Apply almond oil under eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #8: Reduce your intake of vitamin A. Over dose of medications such as Retin A produces "excessive" vascularization.
I hope it helps a long way in curing the black eyes! Have a great week guys!!!
