Enjoy!!
- ANKARA INSPIRED – THAT IGBO CHICK
Instagram – @dimmaumeh
We love this look by Dimma because it is colourful and playful. The ankara head wrap, which matches the eyeshadow colours, takes this look to another level. For the girl or woman who wants to make a statement, this can be worn to church or to a wedding.
Quick Tip
It is best to stick to not more than three eyeshadow colours so that the look is not too overpowering. Also, the blush should be minimal so that the eyes can be the star of the party.
- GLOW BABY– Dodos Uvieghara
Instagram – iamdodos
This makeup look by makeup artist and beauty expert, Dodos, lights up our world. The light bronze on the eyes, the gold on the cheeks, and the pink on the lips all complement each other. This look can be worn anywhere: to a bridal shower, to a wedding, to church, on a date, or to visit your friends.
Quick Tip
After highlighting your cheeks, you can spray a bit of setting spray on it so that the highlighter can melt into your skin. Also, you can also use the same highlight colour for your inner eye area and your cheeks.
- RED! RED! RED! – Missy Lynn
Instagram – @missylynn
There is no makeup look that is more classic than a red lip and long lashes. We love this look because of the flawless skin, the well-defined eyebrows, the lashes and the matte red lip. This look can be worn anywhere – yes it’s that good!!!
Quick Tip
To get a long wear out of the red lipstick, it may be best to use a liquid lipstick. However, if you want to use a tube lipstick, make sure that the lipstick is matte. Also, keep the blush and eyeshadow minimal so that the emphasis can be on the red lip.
- BARELY THERE – DORANNE BEAUTY (Ezinne Alfa)
Instagram – @dorannebeauty, @beautyinlagos
We love this makeup look by Doranne Beauty on Ezinne Alfa. Ezinne’s skin looks flawless and the well sculpted cheek and baby pink lips complement the sharp eyeliner and fluttery lashes. This look can be worn to a party, on a date, to church or to a wedding.
Quick Tip
To get this baby pink lip color, it is better to use a nude or light pink lip liner. Also to get this soft contour, use a contour shade that is about a shade or two darker than your skin. And lastly, to get brows that look as natural as Ezinne’s, use soft hair like strokes when defining your eyebrows rather than drawing a straight line.
