Amazing Transformations... Adeola



I wonder why some people claim that pink make up is not for dark people. Are you beefing us 'cuz black is beautiful? Lol. Okay, so we agreed to do this makeup session in the studio so as to prove that dark complexioned people too can wear pink makeup. One of the students, Adeola kindly volunteered her face for us to use and we chose to do a bold Nigerian traditional wedding look using pink & red.
 Enjoy the pictures and please, do tell us what you think... Is pink makeup truly unsuitable for us 'Duduyemi'?

 Here's 'Deola before we started. She has got beautiful dark skin with barely any blemish 

Here she is while we were fixing the false eyelashes to give her eyes an extra 'wow' factor.
To lessen how vivid the pink eyeshadow was, I opted for a mixture of deep blue & black eyeshadow at the outer corners of her eyes which i blended into the pink. This made her eyes look sultry and the effect was intensified with the false lashes.  I lined underneath her eye with a blue pencil because it compliments the pink eyeshadow so well.

And the falsies are on
 Adeola has full lips which I decided to show off instead of hide; because there's nothing like taking pride in what you've got.I lined her lips with Zaron 'Fussy Fusha' lip liner and used a lipstick in a lighter shade of pink. A light glaze of ELF pout perfector over her lips to give it that pearly glow completed the look.

We're done with make up here, next is the head gear. Isn't she looking beautiful?

I opted for a red head gear because of the way it contrasted nicely with  the make up
While the 'gele' is going on...
And Tada! We are done

Here's the transformation in summary:



 So there you have it, Adeola's gorgeous transformation. Tell us what you think, does she rock the pink?

D make up & gele is really on point but I don't think that colour of lipstick suit are at all. I believe d finishing of d make up wld have been more perfect if u kept d lipstick colour really simple
