But no I'm not an MA. My collection is still pretty limited...probably under $1000 and I'm still learning!

True, although I coloured my hair black from brown a few months ago cuz I sort of like the contrast.

I change my hair a lot...

You know, it's weird because mine somehow doesn't have the sticker on the bottom since I bought it at Sephora, and I didn't buy the whole kit. I'm pretty sure it is "Fairly Light" though.

Fairly Light
(porcelain to light skin/golden undertones)

You're so beautiful and your skin is glowing! Where exactly did you put CCB and blush? Blush on top of CCB? Plase tell me!

Well, I applied the CCB with a blush brush on my cheeks, nose, forehead & chin area, with a light hand. A bit stronger on the cheeks, I kind of packed it on the brush. Then, I went over my cheekbones with the Nars Orgasm blush.

I also applied the CCB on my lips on top of clear lipbalm before applying the Rimmel lipgloss in a nude colour.

Yep, I did it myself. I can't afford salon colouring as I'm a student.

I used a semi-permanent one by L'Oreal...forget the name....it's the re-formulation of "Casting". The shade I used is Ebony. Just be sure you REALLY want black hair, it's very hard to strip the hair of black haircolour, especially if you use permanent dye.




Thanks for all the positive comments, everyone! It encourages me to learn more!

I think your black hair is gorgeous. I'm slowly edging towards black myself

Your make up is perfect it looks airbrushed. You certainly are very talented.
