Avant-Garde Makeup

-

    
The past few days left of my makeup mod we were able to practice avant-garde makeup. Avant-garde is new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them. I must say I had so much fun with this makeup style! I did my friend's makeup (top picture) where my inspiration was the lips. She did myself (lower picture) and her inspiration was the cheshire cat.

Product Review: The Nudes & Master Conceal Maybelline New York

Good Evening Everyone,     I kept hearing rave reviews on these two Maybelline products, The Nudes and Master Conceal, so I decided to try them out. The Nudes pallet I paid I believe around $11 for it and for the most part the shadows are pretty pigmented. The light colors seemed to not highlight as much as I would have liked them to, but I also feel that since I have very fair skin that I understand why they didn't work out well. On the other hand, the darker colors (75% of the pallet), were pigmented and build able. It worked perfect for an everyday go to pallet for some neutral shades just to make the lids pop a little and then if I wanted to create a smokey eye in the evening it worked well too! I feel that this product is worth the $11, especially for someone who wants to start applying eyeshadow, recreate smokey eye looks, and/or for key neutral shades.    The Master Conceal in the shade 20-Light worked really well. I felt that it covered my dark circles nicely, strobe

DevaCurl | Product Review

Good Morning! About a month ago I finally decided to purchase DevaCurl products to try. So I spent about $40 on this set which includes an 8oz bottle of No-Poo, 8oz Bottle of One Condition, 8oz of Ultra Defining Gel, 3oz of Spray Gel, and 3 oz of Styling Cream. It was a pretty good deal so I can get an idea of their products.  I have 3B curls, if you are unsure of what kind of curls you have you could go take this test on  Naturally Curly .  1. DevaCurl No-Poo  I give this product a four out of five stars. It is a no lather shampoo and I am fine with the no lather as long as my scalp feels clean afterwards, which it did. I do like the smell of this product as it has a fresh and clean scent. The reason I don't give this a five out of five stars is because I don't feel that I can only use this shampoo. It is good for a freshen up in between washes, but I do feel that I get product build up faster since I use creamy products. So I need to keep a deeper cleanser on han

Flamboyage

I had a girl come into my school who had a 2 inch regrowth of level 3 and then the hair shaft was what you see on the left, which since I use Goldwell in my school I matched it to 5NBP (5 Neutral Beige Pearl) or light brown reflecting opal. She wanted a flamboyage which is an ombré with a balayage. So the first step I did was for the regrowth I mixed 60mls of 20 volume and 60 mls of 5NBP (Goldwell uses a 1:1 ratio). I applied it to the regrowth area and let it process for 20 minutes. I then brought the color halfway down the shaft to refresh the color and let that process for about 10 minutes. After rinsing and washing the color away, I had to roughly dry the hair 80-90%. I took horizontal partings in the back and did subsections vertically where I lightly teased and applied BW2 lightener. Slowly as I got to the top most horizontal sections and I started to balayage higher and higher. I did the same thing as I got to the front, but I did diagonal partings toward the face since she wan
