Hey people!

Hope you guys had a fantastic weekend! Today's post is a new feature MAKE-ME-LIKE. It's about about getting inspired by a celebrity makeup look and transforming it to suit your face, using similar colors and shades! I would also be accepting pictures from you guys, if you want me to 'duplicate' a look ( it wont be a duplicate as such as facial structures are different, so are techniques)







 For those that know me, it won't come as a surprise that the first celebrity to be featured here is Genevieve Nnaji, she my gurrrrl ( when i say someone is my gurrl please just accept it and don't ask if I really know her or not, thanks!!). I don't want to turn this into a praise fest for G-baby  ( those of us that know her call her G-baby *cough*), but common this babe is beautiful. I love her simplicity, she is never over-done. Very natural, good diction without the 'phoney' (not like some of her counterparts that burst their throat in the process). First time i met her was on the job, back then in 2007..i was so star struck i couldn't move..not until a friend told her I liked her, and that I would love to get a picture. I was supposed to prep her face, but I told our team leader that I couldn't do it..looool.

If you dont want that harsh smokey look, you can blend it out, for a softer look like this!

 You know cameras have minds of their own right? Some days your first shot gives you just what you want, other days, you could take up to 50 shots before you get a half good picture. Lucee was really acting up that day..I couldn't get the type of pictures I wanted...well I had to use my blackberry camera, and that too was meh..I managed to get an ok shot
