Hello Divas,
These past few weeks have been very hectic for me… The last 2 weeks of 2008 had not been the greatest as good and sad events came across my path… The sudden loss of a loved one made me cherish life even more and realize how grateful each and every one of us should be and how love is the most important thing in life after God…
Christmas this year did not feel like it used to…and neither did New Year’s Eve but I am happy and thankful that I was with the people I love, my family and close friends.
On a makeup note, with so many weddings in Dakar this year, I had the opportunity to do makeup for three brides that were as gorgeous as one can think!!! The most amazing and interesting part about these weddings makeup was that each bride had a very different type of beauty and style and mixing the two to come out with the best makeup look for their big day was just an amazing experience! Bridal makeup is at the same time always so challenging and rewarding as you have to deal with the bride’s stress and make sure both of you are happy with the final work.
I would love to show you the pictures but will need to ask permission before posting them so I will let you know as soon as I can…
I also wanted to share with you my favorite makeup product for brides: GLOBAL GLOW and WARMED mineralized Powder by MAC. It looks AMAAAAAZING on the skin and gives a soft and natural glow on pictures.
Another product that I absolutely felt in love with is FASHION FAIR LIP TEASER in Tickled Pink. It looked amazing on my bride with a MAC PLUM Liner.
I wish you all again a very Happy New Year!!!
XoXo

What a wonderful blog! I just wanted to say your pics are fabulous. I noticed in your pic you said your eyebrows were tattooed (and absolutely gorgeous might i add) … where did you get that done? i’ve been trying to decide whether or not to get mine done but i didn’t know where a woman of color could go and have them done properly. any info would be fabulous. thanks!
