BEAUTY: EYEBROWS ON FLEEK

I HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN MUCH OF A MAKE UP FREAK BUT LATELY I HAVE A NEW FOUND LOVE OF SHAPING MY BROWS AND AMAZINGLY I LEARNT OF A VIDEO ON YOU TUBE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING UP TO ME ASKING ME TO TEACH THEM SO I THOUGHT I'D DO MY OWN EYEBROW TUTORIAL.

HERE ARE 5 EASY TO FOLLOW STEPS ON HOW TO GET YOUR EYEBROWS ON FLEEK!!

SOMETHING IN SANE 

STEP 1.

GET YOUR FACE READY.

WASH YOUR FACE WITH A GOOD CLEANSING SOAP, TAP DRY WITH A TOWEL. ALWAYS APPLY SKIN LOTION BEFORE YOU APPLY ANY MAKE UP. USE A FOUNDATION THAT IS BEST SUITED FOR YOUR SKIN COLOUR TO BASE YOUR FACE

TIP: I LIKE TO ALSO APPLY MY SKIN COLOUR POWDER OVER MY FOUNDATION TO GIVE ME A MAT FINISH.

STEP 2.

DRAW IN YOUR EYEBROWS.

BY USING A SOFT ROLL UP EYE PENCIL START BY DRAWING THE OUTLINE SHAPE OF HOW YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR EYEBROWS TO CURVE.

THE HIGHEST TIP OF YOUR BROWS SHOULD BE DIRECTLY DIAGONAL TO YOUR NOSE TIP (SEE PIC ON LEFT). ONCE YOU HAVE DRAWN THE OUTLINE START FILLING IN THE SHAPE WITH YOUR EYE PENCIL.

TIP: PLEASE BLACK PEOPLE - STOP USING BLACK EYE PENCIL FOR YOUR BROWS, IT DOES NOT LOOK NATURAL. I USE A DARK BROWN TWIST EYE PENCIL FROM RALO COSMETICS.

STEP 3.

OUTLINE YOUR BROWS.

USING A MAKE UP BRUSH, CAREFULLY APPLY A LIGHTER TONE CONCEALER AROUND YOUR EYE BROWS. GO NICE AND GENTLE TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A PERFECT OUTLINE. IF BY MISTAKE YOUR SMUDGE INTO YOUR BROWS, RE-FILL THE SHAPE WITH YOUR BROWN EYE PENCIL AND OUTLINE AGAIN. BLEND IN THE OUTLINE BY BRUSHING IT OVER TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

REPEAT THE SAME THING NOW USING YOUR SKIN COLOUR FOUNDATION TO BLEND IN OUTLINE WITH YOUR SKIN.

TIP: MAKE SURE THE ENDS OF YOUR BRUSH ARE NOT FRAYED TO GET A BETTER EFFECT.

USING A LIGHTER CONCEALER TO YOUR SKIN COLOUR ALSO HELPS BY HIGHLIGHTING YOUR EYEBROWS MORE.

STEP 4.

UNI - BROW

START SHADING OUT THE INNER EDGES OF YOUR BROWS SO THEY MEET IN THE CENTER CREATING A UNI-BROW.

KEEP BRUSHING OUT THE CENTER UNTIL YOU GET A VERY LIGHT UNI-BROW AND ALMOST NOT VISIBLE. 

TIP: ONLY APPLY A LITTLE PRESSURE ON YOUR BRUSH WHILE DOING THIS SO THE CENTER IS NOT TOO DARK BUT JUST A SHADE.

 STEP 5.

FINISHING TOUCHES

BRUSH OVER YOUR EYEBROWS WITH YOUR SKIN COLOUR POWDER TO BLEND IT ALL IN AND GIVE IT A MAT FINISH.

PLEASE DO THIS VERY GENTLY SO YOU DO NOT SMUDGE.

APPLY THE REST OF YOUR MAKE UP TO YOUR PREFERENCE... GET YOUR HAIR DID

AND YOU READY TO GO!!

A LITTLE EMBARRASSED TO CONFESS BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS MY FIRST  ZULU TRADITIONAL ATTIRE I HAVE EVER OWNED.

HAWU INTOMBI YOM'ZULU, KUTHI ANGIGIYE!

NOW MY NEXT MISSION IS TO LEARN IZITHAKAZELO ZA KWA -SOKHELA (SOKHELA PRAISE NAME). 

IT IS REALLY SUCH A PITY THAT WITH ALL THE RICHNESS OF OUR CULTURE, WE HARDLY KNOW IT OR PUT TO PRACTICE. CULTURE HAS BECOME A FASHION STATEMENT INSTEAD OF A POINT OF REFERENCE TO OUR CULTURAL ROOTS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

GOD HAS BEEN TOO GOOD IN 2014 AND THIS YEAR HE HAS MORE IN-STORE FOR I AND YOU.

TAKE THE LESSONS OF YESTERDAY AND START UP THIS NEW YEAR WITH NEW STRATEGIES. I CERTAINLY HAVE MADE A FEW CHANGES, INCLUDING MY HAIR WHICH HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST CHANGE THUS FAR AND LOVING EVERY DREAD.

START YOU RCHANGE TODAY... BE A BETTER YOU!!!

EVEN IF THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOUR WARDROBE...

I HAVE HAD MY RESERVATIONS ON THE CROPPED TREND FOR A WHILE...THE THOUGHTS... “YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT ‘FIGURE FOR IT’” RAMBLED IN MY HEAD UNTIL I JUST HAD TO TRY IT AND SEE.

IT LITERALLY TOOK ME A WHOLES DAY SHOPPING TO FIND THE PERFECT CROPPED TOP AND THE JEANS HIGH ENOUGH TO COVER THE BELLY BUT DEFIANTLY WORTH IT.

MAY EVERY CHANGE THAT YOU MAKE THIS 2015, BRING FORTH FRUITFUL HARVETS
