MISSY LYNN PALETTE MAKEUP + REVIEW

I have been itching to do this post. If you are into Youtube makeup videos and you don't know Missy Lynn a.k.a Start2FinishMUA, then my darling I must ask 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN'? I've been subscribed to Missy Lynn's channel for a while now and she is a cute black American who is in the military and is also a beauty guru. Some months ago, she teamed up with BH Cosmetics to create her own eyeshadow/highlighter palette and its been selling out fast.

Hey guys! So I figured since I have been dishing out dark makeup looks, its about time I did something fun and playful. Doing these makeup pictorials is very tasking, I tell you, but then again its so much fun.

OBSESSED WITH DUKE + REVIEW

I'm obsessed with this lip stain from the Sleek Studio Collection called DUKE which I purchased a few months ago. There are a bunch of other shades in their lip stain collection but I fell in love with this dark vampy purple shade after seeing it on Chidinma of ThatIgboChick. The colour might be a bit too much for some of you but I'm sure you can make it work either ways. I had so much fun creating this look. It is very quick and simple with subtle eyes being that the lips are the focus point.

MAKEUP POST: MY CLASSIC NIGHT LOOK

Most times when I have an event or outing at night, I go for one particular look. Champagne gold eyes and bright red lips. It always works for me, its really simple and I'm sure it would look good on just about anyone. I also used dramatic lashes to achieve a 'wow' effect. Being that Valentine's Day is a few days away, this would be perfect for date night with that special one.

MAKEUP POST: PLAYING WITH COLOURS

braids

So for the benefit of everyone who asked how I did it, I decided to do a blog post on this look I created a while back. I posted pics on Instagram and BBM. This look was actually for a giveaway competition. I played with these colours as part of the rules of the game. Yellow, purple, ice blue and shades of pink all on one face. Lol. So, I'll just give a step by step description of how I created this look.

YELLOW VS PURPLE

braids

Hi guys. Another makeup post has been long overdue. I really like the combination of bright yellow eyes and purple lips.Very playful. This is the first look I created with the MAC Heroine lipstick. Been wanting to purchase it for a while and I'm glad I did. No regrets.

The eyes were mostly achieved using the yellow shades from the House of Tara Margaret Ekpo eyeshadow palette and the Absolute Eighteen Colour Paparazzi palette. My outer-V was the black shade also from the Absolute palette and transition/lower lash line colour was the brown shade from the Sleek Storm palette. Gold Tear duct colour is also from the Sleek Storm palette.

My advice for today: Don't be afraid to play with colours. Come out of your comfort zone and explore. Remember you can get any of these products on BeautyBoon or BeautyKink . See more photos and products used below:

My first makeup post is a soft and subtle one i did for church last sunday. I usually don't like too much makeup when i'm going to church. So i did a soft lip and a bit of a dramatic eye. Remember practice makes perfect... See details of the products used down below.
