Hi lovelies..been a while right?been super busy all week.I was discussing with a friend who wants to become a professional makeup artist.she was lamenting about the high cost of good training.when I told her 'do you know you can become a self taught makeup artist?'she laughed at me eh..But its so true.The art of makeup is what you can learn on your own.How to do it?I'll tell you my recommendations.
1.Have a genuine love for it..Personally,I have always loved makeup.I remember playing with my mum's red lipstick(that one from the 90's that comes in a green tube).I watched my aunts back in the day of thin eyebrows and all..lol.it has been a loong journey to where I am today..but I can now confidently say am no more a novice when it comes to doing my face..My point is,a genuine love for makeup goes a long way to help you make a career out of it.Afterall,most bloggers on youtube have never seen the four walls of a makeup school,yet they do wonders with makeup.
2.Get enough materials on it..till date I stil watch makeup tutorials on youtube,I follow makeup blogs and read books on the art of make up.My all time favourite bloggers are 'thatigbochick','vievebutterfly','thestyleand beautydoctor'and 'chloesmakeover'.
Finally,to master the art of professional makeup,get the following books..They are the holy grail of makeup books as far as everything makeup is concerned.Here it goes...
1.Making faces by kevyn aucoin
2.Bobbi brown makeup manual
3.Makeup (trade secrets of professionals) by kit spencer.
Out of them all,my favourite is makeup (trade secrets of professionals)by kit spencer.The others are good (maybe overhyped sef).But kit spencer takes it for me..It has great pictures that shows each step of makeup application.Invest in your passion for makeup and read good books on it.

My lunch...vegetable sauce,spicy steamed fish and white rice.

Here's what the site has to say;
Buying a new foundation online is hard
If you haven't tried a foundation on before and
can't make it into a store it is near impossible.
Colour swatches on your screen aren't enough
to make a decision on.
Colours can look different between different
monitors.
As a retailer you know how hard it can be when
customers are wary to try new formulations and
need to return foundations that don't suit them.
Findation.com is a global foundation
matching engine that solves that problem.
We help shoppers to find their perfect
foundation shade when shopping online.
How does matching work?
Findation uses data from over 1,706,000
foundation users worldwide and a sophisticated
proprietary algorithm to match shades between
brands.
94% of surveyed
users said the Findation. service made them
more likely to find their perfect shade.

Hello lovelies..Have you ever been in a situation where you bought a foundation or powder that wasn't your exact skin shade?lol..it has happened to me many times o,till my eyes became open..Now am going to be letting you all in on how to buy the exact shade of your skin to avoid having a ghostlike look!
Firstly,foundation is key to your makeup look..Please I beg you,don't ever let someone look at you and tell you what color of foundation or powder to buy.When you have applied it,and start looking like a racoon,the makeup artist or beauty shop owner will deny you o.
Your best bet is to get tested to find out your perfect skin shade for foundation and powder.what I did in 2007 was walking into a mary kay sales outlet and I was tested in broad daylight.That's how I knew my foundation shade was bronze 607.Its important to know that you should test for your perfect shade by applying it on the jawline or neck.That's better to avoid your face looking brighter than your neck.This would save you the stress of having to apply foundation on the neck which can stain the collar of shirts.
Going on,once you have been tested by zaron,black up,sleek,black opal,mary kay,milani etc to know your perfect foundation/powder,go to www.findation.com .The website caters to the needs of women worldwide as it helps you with a complete list of all makeup brands and your perfect shade.
All you have to do is locate the brands for which you know your perfect shade..and it would give you results based on what you use for other brands.Its very accurate and a must for those who are makeup artists or owners of beauty shops.

Thanks@joavid..u can always use a black eyeshadow and smoke it out with a blending brush..its looks good on ladies with small eyelids.

@adesiji,you must not comment on every thread esp as you don't get paid for it!

@pamelayoung I am not a makeup artist,just very good at it.

HOW TO USE EYESHADOW APPLICATORS.
I know a lot of us think eyeshadow sponge applicators are just for applying eyeshadows..WRONG!There are a lot of other ways to use it in order to achieve flawless makeup application.
*Its also great for makeup beginners to apply eyeshadows on the eyelids.In using it,don't use a sweeping motion.Dab on the colour..This prevents fallouts and is great for shimmery eyeshadows.
*I am very sure most of us have been aching to lay our hands on a beauty blender sponge.For those who are still in the dark,its like the holy grail of makeup sponges.It blends out foundation and undereye concealer to leave a perfect finish.personally,I think its overpriced.Anyways,a wet eyeshadow applicator can be used to blend out concealer used under the eyes..Its great because it reaches into the inner corners of the eyes that a brush can't reach.That's basically why many favour the beauty blender,due to its pointed tip.For me,a dampened triangle headed eyeshadow applicator does the job just fine!
*Eyeshadow applicators are great for applying lipsticks or gloss.It has a way of reducing shine to leave a matte finish.Also,you can use it to dab on translucent powder on any glossy lipstick to make it matte.
I am sure,no one would underestimate the power of those little wands again!more tips and product reviews coming...feel free to ask questions.

Imagine you graduate with a distinction from UK Uni &
get offered N50k job in Nigeria
This man shared the sad reality of some
individuals who travel abroad to study and come
home to a salary that can barely keep you going
for a week. He talked about a friend who
graduated with distinction in Masters from a UK
University only for him to be offered a N50,000 a
month job when he came back to Nigeria.see his tweets below.

@op..na you go use hand package your mr right o..the fact that he isn't presentable shouldn't deter you..Most men who are even wealthy hv no time for fashion..that's your duty..You can get money from him and shop for clothes,shoes and toiletries for him..He may want to be looking sharp,but the daily hustle and bustle won't let him..You like his clothes well ironed,lovingly tell him..Many men u see today looking sharp are as a result of a woman who moulded them to their taste.luckily for you,he has a sense of duty by providing for you occasionally,he checks up on you and obviously cares..From that his 50k job,he can get sth better..I have learnt it the hard way in life that most guys who have a good job,dress like jim iyke and have it all together don't give a hoot..They believe u r for d money even when you love them..many sef get serious babes from their days of hustling,but may keep u as spare tyre till they are ready to marry their main chick..wise up o..most tyms,wetin u dey find for sokoto,dey inside your shokoto

Breakfast for bae and i

I agree with d babe 200 percent sef...Na sin..yes!But I call it a necessary sin..I have to make sure he can satisfy me or no marriage..Sorry..marriage is for a lifetime...I need to know if we are sexually compatible.My friend back in uni told me abt a guy she just met..nice guy and all..The day they did it,na that day d relationship end o..she came to the hostel and stayed in the bathroom pouring water on her vajajay...wetin happen babe?She told me the guy's thing when erect was as big and long as 75cl eva water bottle container..She said she saw hell..she had to tell him to stop that she was in pains..D guy sef told her his ex too was not happy with his very big thing!My babe ran o..d poor guy wud be calling her,she never took his call again.she was like..why should I date a guy I wil be scared of makin.g love to?I just imagined..what if she married him?That wud av been a root cause of divorce because obviously she was very tight wilhile d guy is big down there..But the guy might meet a babe with express road down there and it wud fit his big thing perfectly.To cut a long story short...yes,I must test am abeg..I no fit judge case later!

The guy shud STFU!I have a friend in calabar that confirmed the gist..She goes to anita's salon to make her hair..and the babe is definitely pregnant for him..The issue was bringing a lot of talk in her family and in calabar, abusing her for stil allowing this he-goat to decieve her after marrying toke..That's y she travelled out!The guy should stop the lies abeg..

This is very unprofessional of nairaland...I have always told people about how informative it is as a forum for Nigerians..Right now,am really shocked at the kind of topics that make frontpage..@op ,You put up the picture of a newly married couple,and ask people to comment?Whatever happened to privacy?Are they thieves,terrorists or criminals?So what's this thread about..How does it help Nigerians?So its. A crime to have a lowkey marriage?Why won't people steal and do all sorts to have a big wedding?I am highly disappointed that this was posted,and more so that it made front page..@seun,you may not know why people are deactivating their nairaland accounts,but this is one of the reasons!Bella naija is not as popular as nairaland,but its incomparable because rubbish posts like this can never be featured!I pity the future of nairaland.

Oooh..I forgot sef..anyways na Godwin as I be first to comment.

When I read this article,I was in awe..Personally,this is the most realistic piece I have read in like forever!Thumbs up uti..He nailed it like a carpenter!
