Look of the Week : Oh Betty!

The colorful 1950's was possibly the most glamorous decade for make-up. It certainly has its share of beauty icons, think Audrey Hepburn or Sophia Loren. Their make up looks defined an era that was without a doubt the age of glamour and sass. Now, almost 70 years later, it's still a staple and lots of fun to incorporate into your personal style. When thinking old school glamour your mind automatically goes to a powdery base, winged cat eyes and red lips. Here's how I created my perfect pin up look.

Look of the Week : Sucker for Summer

Even though our weather is always changing, anyone who sits in traffic in Nairobi for 5 minutes knows that summer’s here. I reckon your make up should heat up too. One of my favorite current trends is the orange lip, it's a daring look and very flattering if executed properly. Orange shades, unlike red or pink lip colors, don’t have saturated blue or red undertones, so they warm and brighten every skin tone. Don’t be a clown. The most important tip I can give you when wearing orange lipstick is to steer clear of pink- and red-toned blushes and eyeshadows, these shades clash with orange. Instead pair it with...
