Let me guess… You want to dress well, but you have no clue how to go about it. You never grew up with much interest in personal style, and you never developed a natural instinct for how you should dress. And even though you can find a ton of information online, it confuses and overwhelms you more than it helps you understand. And it sucks, doesn’t it? Because you’re a smart man, and you should be able to figure this out. You just have no clue where to start. You have no clue what to focus on. But you know what? You Are Not Alone You’re not the only guy who struggles with figuring this stuff out. Many men do. In fact, just a few years back, I struggled as well. I was a terrible dresser. And when I decided to step up from hoodies and graphic tees to something more respectable, I had a hard time figuring out how to dress well. But despite all my early failures, I kept trying, and eventually things started to click in my head. I had to try out...

Routine things only work for some percentage of the human population and I do not fall in that percentage because I crave something new and exciting all the time.

If there is anything beauty lovers cannot get enough of, it is the highlighters. This year has been a year for highlighing, at first I thought the glow was created with a bronzer but to my greatest surprise when I tried using a bronzer it didn’t give me the glow I expected and I wondered why. I went for the makeup fair that took place in June, and this is where I found out that bronzers are not highlighters I also found out that you can substitute eye shadows for highlighters and vice versa. Highlighters have come into place and the glow it gives are always dope, the hype highlighters are getting new shows and it is not dying down anytime soon considering another fact that many brands are bringing to the market different colors and shade, one of which is the sleek highlighting palette that just came into lime light. The sleek highlighting palette is the bomb with just four colors, which consist of one cream highlighter, one silky shimmer powder, t...

Hey Lovelies When it comes to eye makeup there are endless choices. As black women the choices are countless since many colors go well with our skin tone. Applying eye shadow as a dark skinned woman is so enjoyable because you get to see the colors work in amazing ways but you need to always remember that the outcome differs so if you want a good result then your application technique has to be legit. Omabelle Application of eye-shadow always start with a bit of prep, you know your skin might be dry and might have become creased due to this dryness therefore you need to start with a moisturizer, this would reduce the dryness and the crease. Another reason why moisturizing is important is because, creasing of the skin generally makes us look older especially when its around the eye area, so if you feel moisturizing before product application is pointless then you need to think again. Priming Following the application of moisturizer is the applica...

Hey Lovelies There are days when we wake up and feel like a glam look but there are way too many glam looks and somehow we assume a glam look would be too much for day time. Now because the glam look is mostly associated with a night time or Friday night look many do not realize that there are actually quite a number of glam looks that can be pulled off during the day. Makeup and our emotions go hand in hand, if you feel the need to look glam to work then by all means go for it, the only problem is whether or not that look would be right for work. Well there are different types of glam makeup look that you can choose from and one of such includes the soft glam. The soft glam makeup if in the middle of a day time and night time look, this means its a beat heavier than a day time makeup and its lighter than a night time look, making it perfect for both so you can say its a dual weapon. One of the best colors to use for a soft glam make-up are nudes, the nudes helps to ...

Hey Lovelies We all wear makeup, if not everytime, sometimes and its important that we get it right every time. So there are some pointers you need to note, this would help you understand if your makeup application is correct or not. You can never be too sure of your own technique so its always okay if you get a guide. Here are 10 makeup tips that you should know; 1. When applying your concealer or foundation make sure that you do not apply it on your eyelid, this is because it will make your eye makeup crease. 2. Using your fingers to apply your foundation means you want a sheer coverage but for a full and more polished medium to full coverage you need to use a brush or a beauty blender. 3. When applying powder, lightly dust it across your face except your T-bone, here you have to apply more than the other areas because this section of your face is the shiniest. Note that if you have other shinny areas then apply enough powder. 4. When you app...
