the Beauty of Makeup

MUA: Gerren Williams


I met a beautiful young Lady by the name of Gerren Williams who got the magic hands.
Ms. Williams specializes in doing a complete full face of makeup that can blow any human away.
One day at work we had an event to attend and i was telling her that i needed someone to do my makeup. She said she would bring her makeup kit and she would have done it for me the next day.

Gerren opened my eyes to new makeup and brands that enhances black beauty leaving you looking flawless. I paid close attention to how she did my face from  beginning to end. She started by using magnesia on my face. Milk of magnesia is also known as magnesium hydroxide. It is great for skin care if you have oily skin and it can combat oily skin and impart smoothness to your skin.

She started drawing on my eyebrows using a dark eyebrow pencil perfect enough for my skin tone and she used the LA Girl concealer pro to highlight my eye brows.
When she was finish she rubbed that same La girl pro on my on my eye lid and proceeded to apply eye shadow using a brush and Mac eye shadow palette.

She then put on my eyelashes and took La pro liquid pen eyeliner drawing a wing




I asked Gerren four  questions  

When did she started doing Makeup?
Who was her inspiration ?
What products she uses ?
How much do you charge to do a full face?
 MUA: Gerren Williams

Thank you Gerren Williams for giving me the opportunity to share your talent on my Blog.

The journey from relaxer to Natural hair

Transitioning  from relaxer to natural hair

I asked three beautiful Caribbean black girls through conversations on Whats app how they felt through the entire transitioning process from relaxer to natural hair. I received three amazing response. It is very difficult in terms of maintenance but it’s worth it. It may be time consuming and very expensive. However it gets easier. What these three  girls had in common is the fact that they used protective styles to take the burden away of having to comb their hair every day. With the weekly notion of washing and steaming and applying these protective hairstyles. What it does is it allows the hair to takes it course and to grow out getting rid of the relaxer.
What these girls also have in common is the fact that when the hair grows long enough to the girls liking they cut off the remainder of the relaxer. They live the life of their hand passing through the coil of their hair relentlessly . 

I did the big chop. I took off the remainders of my relaxer and i am ready to wear my natural hair. I mean not just yet. I will still continue to do my protective hairstyles but one of the things I struggle with is confidence, wearing my hair with confidence is one of the hardest things to do. I mean my texture is very different  but after speaking to other girl with natural hair they introduced me to many products that helps with detangling and making my hair softer and much more manageable. I have not started using any products as yet or twist outs so you can say that i am still in the beginning stages. 

I asked my three amazing Caribbean girls three questions which are:
1. What was the hardest part of transitioning from relaxer to Natural hair
2. What products do you use 
3. How do you feel now with your natural hair.



Anisa Yearwood Response:
1. My hair was very thick so it was difficult combing it out but i did protective hairstyles that helped      me to cope with styling until i was ready to fully used my hair together with products.
2. The products i use was Carols Natural hair products.
3. I feel Beautiful without trying.


Nneka Marlow Response
1. The Two hair textures was my biggest challenge which resulted it me leaving the house without having it braided. it was very thick.
2. the products i use Shea Moisture Shampoo, Masque and Camille rose twisting butter and Jamaican black castor oil
3.i feel really great and i always receive compliments from other Black queens.



Shanesa Lynch Response:
1. Moisturizing made my hair heavy 
2.The product I use was Cantu
3.I feel great my hair feels healthier and i feel even more confident.

It is so beautiful to know that we are all going back to where we belong embracing our ethnicity and feeling confident in ourselves.

Please tell me how you guys feel about my post 
 I would like to give a shout out to my three beauties for allowing me the opportunity to include them on my post.

I would appreciate any comments or concerns. Thank You <3 p="">

HOW DO YOU PERFECT YOUR EYELINER WING.

It is very difficult for beginners but practice makes perfect.
