Easy Fix of Eye Liner Mistakes......

To all those girls who are not professionals and make mistakes while doing their makeup: we understand you and know how annoying it is to have to correct it and try to fix the damage. It is especially bad when you have to use a makeup remover and then start all over again. However, there is a way to correct mistakes without involving the makeup remover. All you need is eye cream and a Q-tip. Eye cream is a great alternative because it fights wrinkles and smoothens your skin.

Here is how to do it:

  • Put a seed size of eye cream on your finger.

  • Dip the tip of the cotton swab into the cream.

  • Place and swipe the Q-tip across the makeup mistake very gently and roll it constantly, so that there is more product applied to the place.

See how easy you corrected the mistake? Now you don’t need to ruing your whole smokey eye or cat-eye makeup because of a tiny mistake!


Incase you're looking for the perfect liquid liner for your cat eye look...you may want to try any of the Milani Cosmetics Eye-tech extreme liners. 
Talking about Blackest black, Easy to apply and affordable too...you can check out @oyeebonybeautyhaven on instagram to shop for yours or call 08122220660.

Mission possible- Eyebrow Makeup

We often see more eye makeup tutorials, or lip makeup tutorial and even face contouring tutorials, but it seems we don`t have so many eyebrow makeup tutorials.

Of course, when you decide to apply makeup onto the eyebrows, you need to verify they are groomed and well-shaped. From then on you will need a brow liner, which matches the natural colour of your eyebrows, white pencil or a very light concealer and a few clean brushes.

First, line your brows with the eyebrow liner. Use a brush to spread the liner evenly and get a natural color.Then apply white pencil or concealer around the eyebrows, so that you actually draw the shape. Use a brush to blend it with the rest of the makeup and you are done. This way you make your eyebrows pop, showing off aperfect shape!

It is also important you know that your brows don't have to be as dramatic or cartoonish as most Makeup Artists make them look. Natural looking brows are way better. Have a funfilled weekend beauties.....

5 Essential Make-up Tips for Beautiful Brides and Bridesmaids




There are many myths when it comes to makeup looks for bridesmaids. For many years, brides-maids have been forced to all wear the same makeup colours and shades, no matter what their skin tone. I have looked at so many wedding photos and felt so sorry for all those bridesmaids! First, so often they are made to wear a dress that they never would have picked out for themselves.

Then to be forced to wear makeup that is not flattering on top of it. No wonder so many of them ends up feeling so unattractive. What a day!

Brides, I appeal to you to have pity on your bridesmaids. Think how you would feel in their place! You can all have fun together trying your new makeup looks, and just think how much happier everyone will be! Don't worry, I won’t let them upstage you, I promise. After all, it is your day!

Let's talk about ways to make your brides-maids feel beautiful too. First, as with the bride, we do not want anything too bold or bright, since it will never photograph well. Leaning on the more natural side is the safest and best way to assure beautiful pictures. But you always want to let your bridesmaids feel like themselves.

Take into consideration who they are and how they normally wear their makeup – that's what makes them feel beautiful. For the most part, they can still do just that – we just might need to adjust it slightly.

I have some facts and some opinions to share with you. Using this basic information can help create beautiful photographs without stripping each bridesmaid of her individuality. Believe it or not, this can really help your special day flow much more smoothly without unneeded drama.

We all know that a woman who feels beautiful is a happy woman. So here are the facts and a few opinions, of course based on much experience and trial and error.

1 A bridesmaid's makeup does not have to match her dress. Makeup is meant to make the girl look more beautiful, not the outfit. Always choose shades that will bring out the girl and her features.


2 Every girl does not have to wear the same shades of makeup. There are so many skin tones, we have to consider what each one needs. The only thing that has to match is the intensity of colour. You do not want one girl with bold eye makeup and one with almost none. I think a subtle yet defined look always looks good and will photograph perfectly.


3 Every girl does not have to wear the same shade of lipstick. I know that this is the most common piece of makeup that everyone thinks just has to match. Once again, the same shade will not look perfect on every girl. The only aspect of the colour that has to match is the intensity. You do not want one girl in bold or deep lip colour and another in a nude lip colour. Once again, a subtle shade that defines yet adds colour will always photograph flawlessly.


4 Have the bride and bridesmaids look the opposite of one another. This is one thing that I have found really sets the bride apart from the bridesmaids. What I mean by this is: If the bride wears her hair up, all the bridesmaids should wear theirs down. If the bride wears her hair down, all the bridesmaids should wear theirs up. I know this might seem trivial, but in my experience, this makes for beautiful photographs and it helps the bride really stand out.


5 Most importantly, you never want the brides-maids' makeup to be more intense than the bride's. You never want the bridemaids' look to overshadow the bride's! It is her special day, and it is all about her. They are there in a supporting role.


I hope you find this useful. Brides just in case your makeup artist is getting it wrong.....Remember its your wedding and your contribution is important as well.

If Lipstick Could Talk : What Your Lipstick Says About You

Did you know that the shape of your lipstick can reveal a lot about you? Well, at least Make-up Artist, Martin Armand believes so. Armand created a chart on what the shape of your lipstick reveals about a individual’s personality.

Lipstick: Milani cosmetics flamingo pose 


Slanted on one side with slight curve — you are reserved and love making schedules.
Slanted on one side with a large curve — you are creative, helpful, and love attention.
Sharp angle/slope tip – you are opinionated, high-spirited, and selective.
Rounded and smooth – you are easy-going, generous, and a peacemaker.
Rounded and to a point — you are lovable, yet stubborn, and very family oriented.
Sharp point, like a pencil — you are spiritual, curious, and mysterious.
Flat top — you are to the point, dependable, and have high morals.
Concave — you are adventurous, complex, and make a great detective.

According to the chart, my lipstick revealed that I am creative, helpful and love attention. I think that’s quite accurate.


So what does your lipstick stay about you?
