Natural Highlighting And Contouring.

Natural highlighting and contouring is not easy to find on instagram, twitter, YouTube etc. this days every one seem to be going for the drag queen type of contour and highlight which opt not to be, highlight and contour should enhance you facial features and not the other way round.The key is blending you must make sure to blend all products seamlessly as we do not want to see harsh lines, use products that works for your skin type/ skin tone this could be cream or powder. I would recommend to go a shade lighter when highlighting and a shade darker while contouring.
KEYS TO HIGHLIGHTING AND CONTOURING:
Keep it light in the centre of your face and shadowy at the edges
Know your facial structure
Techniques
Product Placement
Tools
Some prefer to use a beauty blender others there makeup brushes I personally prefer my flat brush for placement and sigma F05 small contour brush to blend in my contour using circular motions, real techniques buffer brush for my highlight knocking off the excess at the back of my hand and it is highly advisable to use very light hand when applying products this way you can always go in and apply more if need be. The contour helps to slim down the face while the highlight brings back light onto the face where the light would naturally  hit. Below is the demo video click to watch.

LUXURY SHOPPING MISTAKES TO AVOID IN 2022

  We all love our luxury items don't we? I'm sure we all do. Luxury products are not cheap and with the insistent price increase from  brands. Of course, we want to wear these luxury brands because we love the lux lifestyle and having to spend hundreds of our hard earned on these items can sometimes be ridiculous.

My Top 5 Most Used Luxury Handbags.

Yesterday i shared on my YouTube channel my top 5 most used luxury handbags before the lock down. Luxury handbag collection is a life style and not a brand. I love to collect luxury handbags because i know that these are my forever pieces and could also be passed down from one generation to another. This is a new addition to my Chanel collection i bought this last year December as a graduation gift to myself from the University. Chanel beige caviar leather, double flap, sliver hardware in the size jumbo which is also called large. This bag i absolutely love but i wish i opted for the size medium instead apart from that i have no regret having this in my collection and also a big plus for me is that this can be worn cross body. If you are in the market for a Chanel bag just know that you will be paying more as there is a price increase of 7% so this particular bag will be going for  up to 7-8,000$ but make sure to get in touch with your sales assistant for more details.
