5 Popular Make Up blunders Made by Women and their corrections

Esther’s day at Spicy Looks Creations Studio

I spent a day at the Spicy Look Creations (SLC) studio and they did this good thing to me.  I’ve always known I would be a beautiful bride! Lol.  Busola of SLC is glad to discuss with us the 5 common make up blunders women make. Please take note of these blunders, stop making them (and guys note them and tell your woman or simply refer her to this blog *winkz*) and let’s know more about Spicy Look Creations and what they have to offer.

Cheers.

*Drum Roll*

Blunder 1: The use of the powder: Too white or off color

Your powder should go with your skin tone.  The purpose of makeup is simply to enhance you and not change you so much that people can’t tell it’s you after getting your makeup done.  You should test before buying to see what soothes your complexion.

Know your skin tone and find the right shade for you. You can ask for help at the cosmetics store.   

Blunder 2: Eye Brows: Wrong color or drawn like ‘ojuju calabar’

Our eyebrows are a very important feature of the face.   They are the first attraction to the face. When they are properly or badly done, they will not go unnoticed. They therefore need to be done correctly.

Do not shave your eyebrow completely nor ever go out with a completely shaved eyebrow.

It is wrong to use a black eye pencil or red eye pencil since your eye brows are naturally not these colors.  Do not draw out on your eye brow section like you would a fine art assignment but trace out your eye brow line.

Corrections: When shaping your eyebrows, follow the way your hair grows so you get your natural shape, which of course is what would best soothe your face.

Use the right eye brow pencil color.  The eyebrow is not exactly black but brownish in color so a brown pencil is most appropriate.  Get the shade (of brown) that’s closest to your eye brow color.

Blunder 3: Blush: Too much; doll baby look

Blushes are used to give a lift to the face.  They give you a cheerful and smiley look. The blush should not be lavishly put on the face. It should not be so obvious.  It should be more like a hint of color on your face.

Your blush should come from the edge of your hair through your ear and should stop on your cheek bones.  The blush should not get into your face.  Always apply sideways allowing it to fade into your hair.

Blunder 4: Eye Shadow: Your eye is not a canvass

The eye shadow helps to define the shape of your eyes. It is also meant to give color to your eyes.   

Eye shadow should not be applied all over your eyes all the way to your brow bones. Your eye shadow should really not go beyond your crease.

Blunder 5: The Eye lashes: Falling off or winchy like

Eye lashes should sit well on the eyelid and not look like they are about to fall off. Eye lashes should look as natural as possible.  They should not be unnecessarily long and spiky.  You should be comfortable wearing them with little or no irritation. If you are not able to fix your eyelashes properly, you should visit a professional to help you fix them correctly and also show you how to.

Esther: If I may ask, could you please differentiate between the terms ‘Make up’ and ‘Make Over’.  I ask because I see a lot of Make Up artist claim they do Make Over also.

Busola/SLC: Makeup essentially has to do with the enhancement of the facial appearance while makeover is the total enhancement of the body from head to toe. Today, due to exposure, a lot a of makeup artiste are now into makeover. Nevertheless, makeover has to do with a total change of the body.

Esther: Please give a final advice for makeup users:

Busola/SLC: Make Up should be tested before use. Whether you are buying for personal use or you are using the service of a makeup artiste. This is very essential especially when you are using for a special occasion like your wedding or other major outing.  You should test make up before buying, or buying the service of a makeup artiste, like you would test shoes or clothes before buying them. You will both be able to derive ahead what soothes you and what you are comfortable in.

The Entrepreneur: Olubusola Adedayo

I am a Makeup artiste, Image management consultant and the Creative director of Spicy Look Creations, a beauty outfit.  

I studied ‘Guidance and Counseling’ at Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago.

I have always been passionate about looking good but never thought it would become a career for me.  I have always shown interest in beauty ever since my secondary school days.  I learnt to make hair then and in my university days, people would always admire and commend my dressing. They would ask me to help them with their makeup, gele, hair and all.  After series of trainings and skill acquisition, SPICYLOOKS CREATIONS was born in November 2013 with the passion to re-create beautiful people in the society.
