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,

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.

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!
