MAKE UP TIPS: (TO BE CONTINUED)

Pryncess Amayo, the baddest make up chic in da game, is responsible for tranforming these beautiful women into goddesses. What i love about Pryncess is her ability to use a lot of make up and make it look beautiful and creative rather than over the top. Shucks i want to get married again just to have this ace's hands on me...lol. Such is her expertise. Please don't try this at home if you lack the ability to do it this expertly, or you may end up looking like a drag queen!!! Pryncess has also worked with top designers like Adebayo Jones and on shows like Britain's Next Top Model, to name a few. For bridal make up and special occasions, you can contact Pryncess via her website http://www.prettyflawless.com/ or join her facebook group, Flawless Make up.

Photo 1: I love this model's eye make up. As her lip make up is quite natural looking, emphasis is laid on her eye make up. I'm loving her bee stung looking pout as well.

Photo 2: WOW, she's flawlessly beautiful.

My tips: I also recommend Iris and Plum if you're dark skinned like myself. I have them and they really suit me. I always use brown eyeshadow as a base (Texture by Mac) before applying all my eyeshadows. A gay pal gave me this tip and it works wonders if you sweat on your face. I also wear Plum made by Nars and Ombre Absolue by Lancome.

My dynamite tip: Glitter pencils are lovely to wear on your eyelids. Nars (at Selfridges), BarryM (at Topshop) and Karen Millen (at larger Boots stores) do some lovely colours. I prefer lilac and pink, as they suit my complexion. They also do gold which would suit a lighter skinned person. After using my glitter pencil, i usually line my eyes with Mac black liquid eyeliner and Mac Zoom Lash.

Prolonged wear lipgloss: Alta Moda, Lasting Lust, Femme Forever, Luv-4-Ever, Persist, For Keeps, Overstated.

My tips: I also wear Nico and line my lips with Grape lipliner, Dreamy and line my lips with Plum or Burgundy lipliners, Zazoom or Pink Poodle and line my lips with Currant lipliner; if you're light skinned, Magenta lipliner would also suit you with Zazoom or Pink Poodle. Chestnut lipliner is famed to go with everything as well, but i personally prefer my lipliner to be a shade darker than my lipgloss. I also wear Urban lipgloss by Iman and line my lips with Chestnut by Mac. For a natural look as well, you can use Lipglass by Mac and line your lips with Chestnut or Coffee eyeliner if you prefer it darker. Also, please DO NOT line your lips with "black eye pencil" lol. Looks very local especially when combined with red lipstick.

Pryncess' tips: You can also line your lips first with Chestnut and then go over with your darker shade lipliner. NYX is a cheaper alternative to Mac eyeshadows as well. They are as good as Mac. Check out their website or concession stands in black hair shops.

Mac Blushes: Loverush, Fever, Harmony.



My dynamite tip: I also use Crazed by Nars blush and then Nars Multifunction stick in Palmbeach to slick over the top of my cheekbone, just above where i apply my blush. If you find the Nars Multi stick a bit pricey (£28.50), you can find cheaper alternatives at larger Boots stores.



Iman and Bobbi Brown particularly cater for black skin as well. I always wear their foundation and powder.
