BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE OCT 2014 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. www.bajansunonline.com/MAGAZINE/ | [email protected] | @BajanSunOnline
