The Power Of Makeup | Body Contouring - Why do it? Where Does It End?

The power of makeup has become such a trend on social media, showing the as some people call a 'transformation' in a person with half their face covered in makeup and the other side left completely bare faced an all.

Makeup is an arguable and debatable topic too many (especially guys), some focusing on makeup deceitfully transforming a person's and making her a whole new person whilst others simply see it as enhancing the features we already own.

Now as a female, one would of course sway towards the fact that make up enhances your features and that I do agree with.

I think it is safe to say a transformation will take place when someone goes a little overboard and decides to highlight, contour and sculpt their whole body (please see picture below for PROOF) but one would call this TALENT!

The topic of makeup forever brings us constant political controversies but as the newest in trend meme says...

'Please stop saying girls wear makeup for boys as if boys appreciate my Anastasia contour kit or the way i highlight my cheekbones'

Fake tan is a must have to prep for a night out and yes… I have tried pretty much all of them, I do prefer mousses/lotions to spray as they are easier to apply and don’t go streaky!

Below is my top 4 fake tans out there that are easy to applicate and give a natural bronzed glow…

St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse, has been specially developed with ingredients which help to create an instant bronzing effect, providing you with a perfect, all over, professional tan. (This is the most affordable one out of all of them)

When I want a lighter sunkissed tan I go for the Garnier Summer Body gradual moisturizing tan. This is a great for a build up for holiday and doesn’t give a too bronzed look, it also smells amazing with apricot extract.

Garnier Summer Body Moisturising Lotion, applied daily, builds a radiant, glowing gradual tan. The formula is enriched with a hint of self-tan and specially selected camomile and apricot extract to leave skin soft and supple. A light lotion which is easy to apply and absorbed without greasiness to intensely moisturise skin for 12 hours.

Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter one hour tan mousse is great for beautifully bronzed, radiant skin in just one hour. It is the one of the few tans I have used that doesn’t get a biscuity smell after application. If it’s good enough for Kylie Jenner and Millie Mackintosh then it’s good enough for us right?

I recommend a tanning mitt for all applications of these fake tans, HAPPY TANNING GIRLS!!

Braid Gang

This hairstyle is nothing short of stylish nor is it something new or straight off the catwalks.

Braids have been around for centuries and have become popular amongst women from all walks of life, The Kardashians/Jenner clan have been seen multiple times rocking the middle part braid with style - they've even got Nori involved!

Braids are a great way to mask that bad hair day that we all get once in a while and if you're not so good with your hands, head over to Youtube because there are tons of tutorials that can help you slay this hairstyle.
