Crushed Eyeshadow

Kadenyi — Sat, 04 Aug 2018 04:00:55 +0000

Vivid shadows and liners have dominated the eyes of runway models over the years. Make up artists have swapped the basic black and brown for every shade in the rainbow. Second to this has been glossy lids; It’s one of those fashion week/internet beauty trends that I’ve found so enticing but, until recently, couldn’t quite work out how to appropriate for the everyday. This is the inspiration behind today’s shoot.

While researching, many articles suggested using baby oil to create a “wet look” eye shadow, We of course tried it out with Cynthia with foundation underneath but the oil mixed with the foundation making my face muddy. So I had to clean my face and douse myself in oil as she sprinkled a beautiful Morphe shade on my eyelids. Just as I opened my eyes we found it collected in my eye lid crease almost immediately. Not getting defeated, we had to do this whole shoot with my eyes shut which was so nerve wrecking because I really didn’t know how the final look would come out.

Quick Tip

If you want to re purpose your broken shadow, mix a little shadow with Vaseline for a pigmented gloss. When I tried this, the sheen ended up being somewhere between a lip gloss and a lipstick. I’d recommend this if you want to create a custom color or wear a crazy hue (like blue, green, or black) for the night — it beats purchasing an entire tube of lipstick you’ll only wear a few times. You can also use clear lip balm if you don’t have Vaseline, but Vaseline is definitely the cheapest route.

I love how the final look came out, going with my theme of hairstyles inspired from the past, my curly fringe partnered with the glossy body complemented the entire concept. Who knew glossy eyelids would become decidedly more ethereal than editorial?

What do you think of the final look? Have you tried glossy lids before? Lemme me know in the comment section below.

Stay stylish,

Born To Blush

Kadenyi — Sat, 30 Jun 2018 04:22:59 +0000

In many ways we should be thankful for contouring, the most ridiculed make-up technique since liplining. This style of making up affords mortals with puffy faces the illusion of good cheekbones, better jawline definition and more slender noses.

In the past few years, we’ve all got used to using more complexion make-up, as they call it in the biz. Sculpting and highlighting products have become a new normal for many women’s cosmetics bags. But it is quite an effort. There are signs, though, that the grip of this fashion for a multitoned chiselled face is loosening.

In ancient Egypt, ground red ochre (a natural pigment) was mixed with fat to create a red tint that people would smear on their lips and their cheeks that popped against the harsh black kohl around their eyes. At the recent catwalk collections, many of the make-up artists used just a pop of pink on the cheeks. Chanel and Simone Rocha sent models out looking flushed.

Trendy makeup companies aimed at young women are trying to make it seem super cool again too, launching liquid and stick blushes that people are currently obsessing over. We were totally inspired by Rihannas look in the Met gala when creating this look but added our own touch to it as its a slightly over the top blush look.

So, here’s to blush, not only for its ability to survive a gruesome and lengthy history and come out as one of the most effective makeup items of our time, but also for constantly adapting to trends and the women who love to wear it.

Stay Stylish,

Hairstyles Inspired From the Past

Kadenyi — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 06:00:53 +0000

A telltale way to figure out when an old picture was taken? The hair! Hair trends have the amazing ability to rekindle memories of years past, while sometimes prompting the thought “What was I thinking?

In the 50’s Sky high ponies were the go to hairstyle as well as cornrows for Africans. They were the trademark of the powerful women who wore them, And because beauty, just like fashion exists in a cyclical universe. Classical hairstyles constantly re-emerge from the past in a 2.0 form. Accent braids are the perfect addition to any ‘do’ when you need to spice up a plain pony, loose waves, or bone-straight locks.

I have partnered with Posh Palace Kenya to start showcasing to you some fun and different hairstyles with a major historical inspired revival this season. It’s the perfect time to have fun with a sexy summer look during this cold weather. Be sure to keep checking out my website and soon you’ll be rocking way back when styles like a true style icon!

For this beauty look we had to try out the newly raved make up look that is Faux Freckles. There are some beauty traits that not everyone is blessed with — and one of these traits come in the form of tons of teeny, tiny freckles that grace your face. The good news is that even if you don’t naturally sport freckles on your bare skin, they’re super easy to replicate with a little makeup.

Freckles instantly make the complexion look fresh, as if you have no foundation on. It’s a beauty trick I use more often than you may think. If your foundation or powder looks cake-y, pop a few freckles on top. It will fool everyone into thinking you just have gorgeous, perfect skin, and that you’re not wearing much makeup.

Crop Top + Wrap Skirt Combo

Kadenyi — Tue, 27 Feb 2018 04:32:57 +0000

I had the hardest time finding this green crop top that would do this skirt justice. When you are working with a gorgeous statement piece like this wrap skirt, you cannot just throw on a cotton-knit sleeveless shirt and call it a day.

While it took a little bit of digging, but when I finally got this top I knew it was a winner! I love how clean cut it looks yet the banded lace lining and the low cutout add just enough edge. Although feeling a bit bashful with an exposed midsection, I had to get over it.

You can still look elegant in a crop top – it just has to be paired with the right bottom. As long as your bellybutton is concealed, and your lower half is suited up in a lady-like garment, you have nothing to worry about. In this case, the ultra feminine silhouette of the skirt and the charming African choker balanced out the fit of the top.

Anyway, I accessorized the look with maasai strappy lace-up . I polished off the ensemble with my very own sunglasses.

What’s great about the crop-and-skirt collaboration is that it really can work for anyone. With no fit or form specifications to follow, you can simply mix and match your style patterns until you find the perfect pair!
