Nicki's bad Make-up day!!!

That's a picture of the award winning Rapper/Singer Nicki-Minaj in what appears to be her worst make-up day. I couldn't stop wondering ,what the heck! she was thinking coming out looking worst than a drag-queen? that's to show y'all that even celebs get it all wrong sometimes. So when you feel your not on track with your make-up, take a look at that picture to give you courage that "it couldn't be that worse " so step it up peeps, Keep it mild simple and cheek...Its your life try living it your way and life would certainly be beautiful...XOXO! with love D@fy chao!!!!!

My Cousin Uloma Ogu (Whats your take on the before after look?

Well obviously she's family so what were u expecting I say tho lol? she looks amazing both in the before/after photo, that's coz the make-up artist gave her a look that compliments her skin tone, thanks to @Deborah Ogu  for doing a great job .

In essence the point am giving here is, when doing your own make-up, u should always consider colors complimenting your skin-tone regardless of the outfit you're wearing, keep it mild simple and cheek! that's the secret to a glowing look. So Live it, Love it, Style it, its still your life try living it your way and life would certainly be beautiful... XOXO! with love D@fy!

WHO wore it better? Brian-Nieh or the Unknown model???

For me it has to be Brian, aint saying the female model looks horrible hell NO!, but for a guy he's doing a really good job with the look, trust me when I say most models aint versatile enough to pull off any look given to them, and that's the definition of a Top- Model... XOXO! with love D@fy!

which model sold the outfit better?

Uhm! honestly they both look gorgeous but someone has  to look better you know...so what's your take?

Brian-Nieh (Walking @ Walk)

I cant stop staring at this photo of the incredible Brian,, wow! now that's how you Walk @ Walk if you're a  male model...Happy Sunday y'all....XOXO! with luv D@fy!! 

Whats your take on these Incredible male Models???

Now am speechless coz I cant actually pick any without the other. Jeez!!they both killed the photo, that's what modeling is all about, Poise, composure and effortless stability. From D@fy!!! with luv..

Would u rock this Jewelry???

Uh-mm!! i just came across this "skeleton gold ring bracelet" while surfing, and i thought y'all should see it, well its pretty cool for a rock-star i think, so what's your take?? 

who dressed best?

For me its the 1st from the right, wow she's just an ideal impression of beauty: take a look at the maroon jump pants-totally flawless and compliments the blazer and the inner camisole, and I cant stop looking at the pink scarf attached to her blazer just a cherry on the muffin...the fact that she's putting on a flat shoe is something to Luv, what about the cute cheek accessories she's wearing? just on point.
The hair is just one to love coz it's got these cute fussy curls which defines an effortless beauty, now that's the perfect look when your on the run for lectures. So Live it, Love it, Style it, it's still your life so live it your way and life would certainly be lovely XOXO!! with luv D@fy!

My Bestie (The Bold and the Beautiful..ALL IN 1)

Now this is it; being stylish should be totally effortless "I mean not trying so hard" that's the ideal impression of beauty. That's a picture of my bestie "Reva Nova" ha ha!!! she's the definition of the Bold and the Beautiful.
::These are some tips to her effortless style::

1)Be comfortable in your own skin: Am not saying go totally nude ha ha! hell NO,, but never feel intimidated with the way you look, trust me you'll end up being somebody your not.

2)Keep the make-up Simple: Going over the top with the make-up gives u a drag's look, aint cool at all, my Bestie keeps it simple and all neutral. Use a bronze powder shadow to highlight your eyes and an air- brushed brow pencil which should also compliment your skin tone, a little eye liner would make your eyes pop so go for it, and always double coat your lashes when using a mascara to give your eyes the edgy look you desire, a natural blush would be a cherry on the muffin! so its a YES. this way you'll find out your good to go not withstanding the outfit your wearing.

3) Accessorize it: Cute accessories would give you a very classy/edgy look, My bestie keeps it cool and simple with the accessories, she's got a love for "apple bottoms" jewelry. it shouldn't be only apple bottoms don't get me wrong ha ha! you could also create your own personal style with the jewelry collection you feel glows on you.

4)Dress according to seasons: Wear outfits that reflects with the season your in, e.g never wear tube tops during winter it just shows you've got no sense of fashion at all. And trust me when I say that reduces your self esteem in the midst of people with style.

5)Smile: Smiling makes you very approachable when you meet people. The stern face only makes you look bitchy trust me when I say that's so 1989!!

Now those are the tips in being the Bold and the Beautiful in the midst of amateurs, it just a simple daily routine so Live it, Love it, Style it. Its still your life, so live it your way and life would certainly be beautiful....XOXO! with love D@fy!!!

How do they Look??....

 Now how do I see these looks?
Firstly I feel the ladies look incredibly beautiful coz the make-up totally compliments their skin tones.  On the other hand I prefer the first picture, am not saying the 2nd isn't cool don't get me wrong ha-ha!, but its quite obvious to see that the first picture is more modern,edgy and a little bit smokey.

The 2nd picture is very epic-bridal-beauty, which perfectly works on Italian/Latino women. I think its totally flattering and has this commercial edge to it which would totally suit any bridal magazine cover, but the first picture obviously is a look every modern teenage girl would totally wear, because its kinda easy-breezy-beautiful and is also flattering to any skin tone.
So live it, love it, style it...its still your life so live it your way and life would certainly be beautiful.....XOXO! with love D@fy...
