HERE’S WHAT’S UP: MAKE UP FROM HELL

What was we even thinking? What was we doing? Was we even sane?After all the YouTube videos and Mary Kay practicals, we attended a traditional wedding on Saturday looking like Juju Calabar’s assistant. The irony is we made up the bride. Then when it came to our turn, calls were coming in saying we were late so we were in a mad rush.We had planned to style our natural hair for the occasion but, many are the thoughts in a Mommy’s heart but mostly household responsibilities and the cares of life shall be established. (Proverbs 19: 21, Mommy’s Bible). We planned to put our hair natural up in a bun with a side bang. We bought some extension and gel to accomplish our plans. But when the time came, we didn’t even comb our hair! We took a scarf and simply tied it. There wasn’t even time to tie it stylishly. Ahhh.We had planned to make our eyebrows fleekier than they have ever been. But when the time came, we asked our niece-in-law to fill them in for us. She kept scratching something on them and when we looked at the mirror, we confirmed that they were okay. They weren’t! A look at the pictures now make us so sad. The brows looked too thick, uneven and overdrawn. Totally a la non-fleek!Again, we wrongly applied a gold-coloured cream eye-shadow on our eyelids. After applying it for two consecutive people and it looked great, we decided to put it on us. Mine completely went down south. It looked like ashes from a fireplace that were poured on our eye lids. We failed to blend it and it just looked like something that was carried and plastered on our face.

To top it all, our face was oily and as though we rubbed banga oil on it. Isn’t this make-up from hell?

Now we're thinking of all the guests at the wedding. What did they think of us? And to think that we were smiling all the time! Poorly applied makeup and smiles are not a good match. Our people, that’s what’s up with us. Next time if we are in a hurry, we will:– Leave our face as it is-Only apply a lipstick or lip gloss-NEVER ask someone to fill in our browsHave you ever had a bad make-up experience? Let’s talk below.
