TRENDY CHOOSEDAY

Hello hi 

Hope you all had an awesome weekend and have recovered from all the buzz. Lets get to our usual business, glam :) 

Today we speak trends trends trends.. 

Fashion trends keep us going, they keep stylistas on the loop and we love them. Others trends are worth to be followed while others are not.. 

The fashion trend I am focusing on today is FRINGE.. No not the "hairstyle" fringe lol. A fringe clothing is any item (skirt, dress, top) with an edge of hanging narrow strips of material or threads, it almost looks like someone was tearing it up with a pair of scissors. As complicated as it sounds, it's back in the fashion ramps and stylistas are rocking it more recently. This is one of the most crucial trends, one needs to be careful and considerate of what they pair it with to avoid funny looks..

Lets check out few pics of fringe items that attracts my eyes.. Enjoy 😘

Miss Kim K West in a fringe top, paired it with a mini flair skirt, so simple and elegant

Even our own fashionista Tshego Manche of La Manche was bitten by the fringe trend bug.. 

A fringe crop top, I love it 

You can also go Boho with fringe 

There's also fringe bikinis, isn't this cool? 

This my favourite, the fringe A line skirt paired with a baggy shirt, she got wrong shoes though :( 

Another elegant fringe look, you have to be careful with the kind of top you pair with a fringe skirt. A flair too might not work but on this look it worked because the top is cropped and the solid part of the skirt is almost on the knees 

A leather + lace combo + fringe.. This is creativity and sexy

Clearly Kim K is a fan of this trend, the fringe sided suede dress complementing her hips 

Then there's a fringe cludge bag, could you die? 😍

Miss Kanye West again on the trend but this time with a fringe bag, it's official, she's a fan 

In addition, you can also find fringe jackets, shoes and handbags.. 

Yep, the trend is on, I hope you enjoyed this post and probably the fringe trend bug is coming your way

MAKE UP CHRONICLES

Hey there 

So today it's make up day, we talk everything make up.. I won't go deep into things but I will give my own basic make up tips. This is for your ordinary and simple look.. As a make up artist I believe every lady needs to be well informed about the do and dont's of make up to avoid messy looks.

I've posted this before on Facebook a while back, enjoy if you missed the post previously; I hope this will be helpful 

Glam 101 make-up tips 

So my favourire make up brands is MAC and Maybelline :) 

Eyes

Consider the colour of your skin before you put colours on your eyes.. Nude eye shadows such as gold and brown are good for a simple day look.. Use a designated eye shadow brush to put your shadows, then use a gel or liquid liner on your lids for a smoky look. You can also use a white liner to make your eyes look bigger. Avoid an extreme smoky eye on a day look. For a good smoky eye, start with a nude light shadow and then follow with a darker one blending them well together, then use a black shadow on the outter sides of your lids and blend with the other shadows. Then it's time to use the black eye liner and smudge it using a small shadow brush.. Finish the eye look with a volume enhancing mascara. I'd recommend Maybelline Colossal mascara. Avon super shock is also good for lengthening your lashes.. 

Eyebrows

Please don't shave off all your brows and draw them all over again with a pencil; that will get you arrested by the fashion police. Trim them nicely at the ends to give them a nice shape then use a dry eyebrow pencil to add a bit of thickness to your own eyebrows. Don't over do it, the aim is to darken and shape the brows, they have to look real. the inner side must be bigger and grows small as it moves to tr outter side.. 

Lips

This is easy, just look at your skin before you put colours on your lips. Do not put a very bright lipstick when you have a smokey eye. You will look too dramatic.. The brighter the lips the lighter your eyes should be and vice versa. The new trending new lip colours are different pinks and purplish. MAC has all the nice colours such as Saint germain, pink neaveau, candy yum yum, ruby woo, Russian red, etc. currentlymy favorites   are heroine, rebel and up the amp.. They go well with any skin colour 

Foundation

For a  radiant face I'd recommend a cream matte mousse, the one from Maybelline is the best, Yardley also has it. It's good for a day look and gives you a matte finish. Use a soft sponge to apply focus more on the cheeks, forehead and nose. Make sure you use a good cream on your face before you put foundation. Your face needs to be moist and semi-oily. A liquid foundation is good for a night look and I love the Studio fix foundation from MAC, it's about R350. Apply it with a fluffy brush to avoid a muddy look on your skin. On all the foundations you can finish with a good powder to keep your face dry and gorgeous. For a night look you can also add highlighter or bronzer from MAC. They give your face a good glow and tan. For ladies with oily faces, studio fix foundations and powder are good to go, stay away from mineralize foundations as they give a glowing finish to your skin. Other products such as concealer are also good to hide dark marks especially under the eye. 

Avoid bright coloured blushes if your are too dark or use only a little. 

That's brief but I hope it will help, any questions you welcome to comment and ask 

Thanks cheers
