Lol @ Beyonce being Somali.....Riiight.

Hey girls, Well the colours may be a bit too chalky for some shades but it was the way that it was applied that I was emphasizing on! Btw as a black female I can carry off turquoises and greens.It depends on how you apply it and how much you apply,and ofcourse the occasion/outfit.Aslong as everything else is toned down you can turn up the volume on the eyes Wearing eyemakeup is like a luxury because it's hardly ever the right time(I mean school/work?come on!) or you're too damn busy and the look you wanted doesn't fructify and you opt for the eyeliner/vaseline duo loool. Here's 2 examples on black skin from Iman emphasizing on coppers,golds,teals and oranges... Also I like when soma shadow is applied but with a black liner in the top lid and white pencil in the inner bottom lid.... You can never go wrong with a black eyeshadow in your kit.It doubles up as a smokey eyeliner when you cant be asked to apply with a pen and it looks like it took maximum effort when it was really minimal... PS Xu -Sorry about going on about eyemakeup dear.You're original query was about application of foundations,powders,fluids and such.Ok well aslong as you opt for minimal you cant go wrong.Also if you go to the dept store.Instead of asking for a makeover make sure you take a good friend(someone who will tell the makeup specialist off if they playing with ya) and make sure you leave knowing your skin type.Even if you dont find the products you are looking for in that spot DONT settle for them.Shop around.What may be good for one Xalimo may not necessarily suit another.Oh yeah and be thorough/well researched.Tell them you only want base/loose powder from 'this range' or whatever and nothing else.Sometimes they try and sell you other products! :mad:

I iz 4"9 and I iz weight 390 llbs alhamduililah ....

P.s Mantra Ruby&Millie is really good.The boots in High St Kenz station have a really good selection!But being me I only check out the eye shadows Lol but even with them they dont fade either!I only have 1 'eye colour' that I bought from their collection that I bought pre-Eid.I should go back soon Insha'Allah.

I know how to apply foundation/underbase/powders but it just feels unnatural.I agree with JLee sometimes a loose powder is good if you want to tone down a little bit of shine to compliment the nude look. I'm all about the eyes,I love keeping a nude palete on my face and lips(all one tone with clearlipgloss ontop of the nude coloured lippy) Anyway yeah I love trying quirky looks for my eyes if I am going to a wedding or party or some.I dont like all that stuff on me face like blusher and that. Givenchy,The Body Shop&Mac are my fav & do a never ending host of colours to suit even the most daring people! The Body Shop.... Givenchy wow this is a work of art,preferably I would go with either blues/greens only or reds/golds only never together I'm not that brave..... Mac teach you online... Also The Body shop do a great shimmer that I use in the summer.If you apply a lil lotion under it stays put and adds a shine.But I was on holiday and not in polluted London so maybe tone it a lil down if you're a city girl Xu. Kinda like Rihanna's look in SOS but her makeup artists added tons! Like Mantra said Iman is good for foundation and bases as is Lancome. Wow that was probably the longest reply I've ever done!

Lol @ This thread.Rajabatos,macawiis&gogarad..Is it me or does something seem wrong here you lil' freaks? Loool @ Rudy's shrine...Rudy you scare the hell out of me 99.9% of the time with "!" after every word....War maa qof weyn baa tahay?Aka of the hearing impaired kind?Argh!No need to shout "homie" we get the point! :mad: XulaXu do you do designs in your spare time walaal?Let me know because I may need a bit of help on something Insha'Allah.

Good news,With the increase in motor usage when this bridge is opened I just hope the use of those deathtrap boats will reduce.So many people have died en route because there are so many on boat trying to escape Subxan'Allah.

Bravo Ameen,Camboro&Pucca,Masha'Allah. I agree with Femme-Fatale that passage is what keeps me secure in the thought that I will indeed get who I deserve and vice versa.

Hawa&Adam rock formation altho it's not the correct side,sorry. Calm before the storm.Just before we got to Hargeisa. Hargeisa City centre Ambassador hotel at night. And back to Burco at the sirport where I flew out of.A rather lopsided pic but I was in moving 4x4 when I took this pic.

My lil niece Nimco Masha'Allah she was so cute and shy My lil niece trying to coax my cousin down.Little did we know there were snakes at the bottom of the pit!

Ideal 'Whatever' cant believe it was like 7 yrs when it came out...I feel so old! T.I. Why you wanna It has a story behind it *sigh* T.I. Why you wanna

Abaadir-What did you expect walaal?Lol Pucca&JLee thanks for sharing.Do you guys wanna stop the habits? Whilst I was in Somalia I saw quite a few women craving on coal?One was pregnant and I couldn't stop her so in the end I hid the basket of coal but then because they needed it to cook I had to give up in the end.Lol

Ileyn some dudes can shake their stuff better then some females? Hysterical dude doing 'his' version of niiko Caution-Some serious male booty shaking it's a lil disturbing....Ha! P.s-Sorry this is a BS kinda thread but hey!Sometimes you gotta break out a lil....

What do you do but know you shouldn't do although you do it and EXTREMELY love it when your doing it even though you know you shouldn't be doing it?*Exhales*.... I eat unripened kiwis& sometimes pineapples even tho I know my tongue will be dead by the time I've finished eating them! You?

Ps-Did I mention how annoying they were.The nextel thingys with all those beeps! :mad:

Val-I'm a lazy,cheap bugger.My parents will have to kick me out man when the time comes for me to flock the nest.

I got that lakiin what was your reason for it sis? Usually the way it works is if you moved out for reasons like being closer to your school or work,something almost compulsive people are mostly sympathetic to your cause.....But if you moved out "just because I needed space" or something else then you'll get the raised eyebrows.... So which one is it sis?
