Beauty Intricacies
By Deborah Ramdin
The Makeover…
Winning smile!
M
any people have their preferences with makeup,
not all prefer to do full coverage makeup, some
people prefer thin brows rather than thick brows or we all
have that favorite lip colour or eye shadow. Meet Ms.
Heather Ramdin, She has been my inspiration for
pursuing makeup. At 46 she is very committed to her
makeup routine. She prefers thin Brown brows, black
eyeliner on the water line, bright coloured shadow and lip
colour and does not wear foundation or powder and
according to her “she likes what she likes”. She was the
inspiration for this series of columns of before and after’s.
The makeover transformed her into a bohemian goddess. I
darkened her grays and pulled the hair higher and back off
at the sides adding length to her round face structure. I did
a light foundation and powder to even out her
complexion, and added contours along her cheeks, chin
and nose bridge. I used a lighter foundation under the
eyes to reduce the puffy look and to eliminate the
darkness under the eyes. I darkened the brows with a
black brow pencil, made them a little fuller and arched a
little higher. An arched brow can lift the eyes and make
them look a little more youthful and it also adds some
dimension and character to the face. Next I gave her
blended eye shadow, keeping her orange and green but
adding a nice brown to contour her eyes and a highlight
underneath the brows. Finally, I lined the lips and toned it
down to make it a little classier and added a little blush. I
also gave her lashes to add a little more drama to her eyes.
Beauty is...
For her beauty is a neat appearance and a glowing
personality, “attitude is everything”. She went into detail
that men should have low haircuts and cleanly shaven,
while women a nice hair-do and neat nails. To her these
things bring out the beauty in a person. She believes her
favorite asset to be her smile.
