Haitian Heritage Month| Chocolat

 Morning Lovelies,

Better late than never, right? 

Or according to Mr. Drake, "Never late is better."

Well regardless of what stance you take, I wanted to share with you a few more looks that was supposed to go in my Haitian Heritage Month Series posts for May. Now I know that we're in the end of June but I still wanted to share the looks regardless. 

This particular look turned out to be a favorite one that I wore multiple times after creating the look and I even used it for a wedding that I did makeup for earlier this month. It's a natural look but it still shines in it's own right.

Look of the Week: School Daze

Today is the first day of spring classes. Yay!

Even though my blog is solely focused on make-up, school has an impact on my make-up journey as well. The closer I get to graduation, the closer I get to focusing more of my energy towards KissyFace. :-)

Yes, it's strange that I'm excited about school but I don't hate the feeling.  I guess because I'm so close to graduation, I can't help but be excited. Usually I don't care to look good for school but today it was different. And of course I had to do a post on it. I pincurled the hair and did my make-up. And even dressed up.

I felt uber cute today.

So, here's what I used to create my first day look.

Moisturizer-  Pond's dry skin cream mixed with Maybelline Mineral Power Bronzer
Powder:  M.A.C. Mineralized Skinfinish in Deep Dark  set with a rosewater and glycerin spray I make

waterline:Rimmel London in purple passion

I'm just beaming with so much energy. It's redic. :-)

XOXO & Many Blessings,
B. Pierre

Look of the Week: Interview Ready

This weekend I had interview for a retail position, so of course I had to get the face appropriately ready. Staying away from the bright colors and dramatic looks, I went back to my tried and true. This was the second eyeshadow purchase I ever when I first got into make-up and I've gone back to it time an time again.Image Source: Jane Cosmetics

Everything was really simple but this time around I opted to try a new concealer for my under eye area. Usually I don't wear anything but, anything to build my skill level is worth attempting.
I got the color latte (dark), which was the darkest color available. It seemed a little to light at first glance but I didn't let it stop me from trying it. I applied it with my ring finger in a light dabbing motion then smoothed it out. I was a bit worried that my foundation wouldn't be able to mask it well enough but i was proven wrong. After applying my foundation on top I noticed that the lightness that I was initially worried about was a bonus. It had brightened up my under eye area really nicely.

Check it out for yourself!

My hair in its infamous wrap.
I always do it after my make-up.

P.S. Quick Question: Is it a good idea to place a watermark over your photos? I just don't want my pics plastered elsewhere without my knowledge or proper attribution.
