I am by no means a football fanatic but when the team I support is playing for a huge championship like the EuroCup, I can't help but show my support. What better way to do that than with my make up.

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.

In this rainy Nairobi weather, there’s no better way to stand out than to keep your style smoking hot and the most exciting way to do this is with some great pops of color.

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...
