MAKEUP: OWANBE INSPIRATION- PINK

Hello people!! TGIF!!!
Well today is Friday...and tomorrow is whaaaaaat????!!
For a Nigerian lady, who loves to have a good time, dance and eat small chops, tomorrow is not just Saturday but, Owanbe day!! For my international readers ( yes I now have them, don't try me o!) Owanbe is a Nigerian lingo for a party reception with stage musicians and food and all that good stuff!!
I used to be an Owanbe addict, but these days work won't let me. And I might be tired of buying 'asoebi's!!!
Anyway, I just thought you guys would like to see an owanbe look, that could inspire you for any owanbe you've got! The theme is a pink asoebi of different shades, so I also did different shades of pink on the eyes!! Candy floss yanah (I try not to use all these slangs on here, but hey!)
see more pictures of what I cooked up!



With all the dancing and sweating, you want to use a good primer and foundation.. I went the typical way for this look, multicolored eyes and ombre lips with the step step semicircle gele!!



I'm not so much of a highlight and contour enthusiast, but for an Owanbe, you have to give them!! everything!! The whole nine yards!! This is not because of the hot and fine guys that would be clad in their white trad or anything..*cough* Let us go a little off topic here, are Nigerian guys not lucky??!! They get to wear the SAME white trad to every owanbe and no-one will notice!!! And they would still be feeling fresh and takeaway..CHAI!!








If you look closely, I did something different with my brow. I absolutely detest concealer of any kind showing above or beneath the brow. I just hate it!! but here, I did a slight line of lighter concealer above my brow. This is just to define the brow and make it look darker. the contrast helps in making the brow stand out.



This is how cool the eyes are without flash...see the difference. Besides photographer friends have told me that, the best photo is the one without flash...but how i for do now...I am an amateur at this!
