Reader : Hi! Please I need a concealer. A.M.O : Okay, what do you want the concealer for,Your brows or highlight? Reader : For my face. A.M.O : Do you use a foundation with your concealer? Reader : No, I just use it all over my face and use my powder.          In my head I'm wondering where the spots are,even if there are spots dey no dey put concealer as foundation kai!          Lady's please let's stop abusing makeup,i know some people would say a concealer covers more than a foundation,but forgetting or not knowing that there are different consistencies in foundation eg sheer coverage,medium coverage and full coverage.          When you consider the different coverages you would definitely find the one that works best for you, BUT! If the fullest coverage does not work,then you can pair it up with the concealer applying it on the areas that need to be covered up using the right brush and a good metho...

         Primers!

"One of the biggest misconception that a woman has is that a man has to accept her the way she is. No, we don't. I don't know who told you that. We like the bright and shiny. If you stop wearing the makeup,stop putting on nail Polish, stop wearing high heels, you'll lose us"         Steve Harvey.  Steve Harvey          I 100% agree with steve Harvey. I don't know about you.  Women don't stop looking beautiful and putting on makeup because you are in a relationship or you are married now. take note. At most put on your primer(s) do your brows,eye liner,blush and that mad lip color and you would still look fresh,even without powder and foundation (this is better than being bare faced and saying hello darling) thats my opinion what do you think?           Please leave your comments and share your thoughts would love to hear from you.                Cheers!

       Most of us do not like cucumbers and some of us eat it with or without the skin, while some remove the seeds. Which ever way you enjoy your cucumber it is good for your body both internal and external. A CUCUMBER smoothens and softens the skin and it can get you relaxed in no time.It also takes care of an irritated skin, because it is an antioxidant and an anti-irritant which helps to clam irritated skin e.g sunburns, sensitive skin. Also it is perfect for oily skin.        It easily reduces the appearance of the dark circles around the eye. With long term usage it would fade it out. (patience is the key). The richness of antioxidant and silica in cucumber rejuvenates the skin, this could be done by placing two slices of cucumber on your eyes and relax your head so the slices of cucumber would be in place. O R Dip two cotton pads into cucumber juice which could be a bit chilled or lukewarm or just normal, if you can mak...

          Application of a lipstick with a lip pencil, helps give lipsticks a very clean finish, also helps the lipstick stay longer and could be used to contour the lips to look pouted or smaller even larger!           The lip pencil can be worn all over the lip on its own and can be used first before putting the lipstick or lipglass and vice versa. These days, you see people with lip color and a very bold black pencil drawn or pasted on their lip or with lipglass and black liner with purple brows lol, funny right? but true!           So today I did mine with the lip pencil first and than the lipstick next; this method could be used as bases for an umbra (ombre) lip of any color.           Firstly            1 . Apply a lip conditioner or a lip base, it helps to soften your lip and helps the lip pencil glad on easily on your lips, dab  out a bit ...

Hello! Merry Merry Christmas to you all and I hope your makeup was looking fabulous today?   I just want to share my review on the   M.A.C STUDIO FIX POWDER AND FOUNDATION. It's a full coverage,velvety matte finish powder perfect for oily skin which I have.(it has silica in it,which helps to absorb oil on the surface of the skin).  Depending on the coverage you want, you can use a full or medium coverage foundation, either the sponge that comes with the powder or a brush, but most importantly a PRIMER! (I will write more on primers.Ladies have to get it right).   For my everyday look, I use the M.A.C Strobe cream/ prep + prime skin base visage and skin refined zone-a perfect mattifier for the T-zone with the studio fix powder,with any of these combination,the powder will sit beautifully well on your skin. It stays longer and has a light matte natural finish.       On special occasions you can use  prep + prime skin base a...
