Bobbi Brown believes that all women are pretty without makeup and can be pretty powerful with the right makeup so it’s no surprise that most Ghanaian women have become so interested in makeup.
The makeup industry is barging in Ghana and this development has led some of the industry giants like Maybelline New York, Zaron, and a host of others to launch their makeup brands in Ghana.
Neighbourhood Gong Magazine spoke to Priscilla Nyarko, Creative Director of Glam Faces Makeup Studio on the right way to apply makeup and these are her professional tips for achieving that flawless and seamless look.
1. Ladies, we know you want to line and accentuate those lips but using a black pencil is a no-no. Please stick to the browns or a pencil that is similar to the lipstick you are about to use.
2. Use dark brown pencils or shades of brown depending on your skin color to fill in your eyebrow. Do not use a black pencil.
3. Avoid using a shade or two shades of foundation lighter than your skin in order to achieve the correct look. The right way is to find a color that will easily blend with your skin color.
4. Women should invest in quality makeup products even if it’s expensive since using cheap or fake makeup products may cause skin irritation and breakouts.
5. Invest in good makeup tools.
6. The hands are good but they won’t give you the seamless look you want to achieve so avoid using your hands for applying makeup.
7. You can only get the correct foundation and loose powder for your skin type by testing them on your skin before buying so buy your makeup products from shops you can test the products.
8. Coming out to see how a tested makeup looks on your skin is ideal since testing in a dark room or a room with too much light may not give you the appropriate shade.
9. It’s not advisable to go to bed with your makeup on since this practice may cause skin reactions like breaks, pimples, and rashes.
