Wedding Day ..

 Titi Oyinsan

 Only thing Titi said to me was "Banke I like Dark Lips o! So I thot a rich wine would accentuate her very browny skin tone smoothened to perfection with our BMPRO Bridal Cream a few days before. I think titi knows exactly what flatters her in terms of colors (so no need to deviate) and she let me in on the secret....
I now know Damell loves the eye makeup shot! He told me to back off (literally) contorted himself, bent over and backwards, while he did a mini shoot during makeup. Lolll. Always a joy working with him and I can just imagine the rest of Titis Album. Thanks Dami for capturing the essence of my work, in Detail! :)))). We truly have great Talent in Photography on this side of the Pond...









BMPRO LOOK OF THE DAY

BELLA!

 I was overjoyed when she requested we deviate from our normal "muted makeup look". I went for POW and played up the eyes but still kept things subtle with a caramel lip. Hope u like this look as much as I do? :)

IS YOUR SKIN SENSITIVE?


              BMPROMAKEUP.COM

I
f you have sensitive skin, it means that you have an increase in thinness. Your blood vessels and nerve endings are very close to your skin’s surface. In this case your skin would look fragile, thin and be pinkish in colour. However, this does not mean that people with thicker and oilier skin don’t suffer from skin sensitivity. Women have been increasingly claiming sensitivity which may be due to pollution or harsh synthetic skin care and also because of an unhealthy diet. Other factors falling in the medical field may be dermatitis, rosacea or eczema.
Caring for Sensitive Skin:
  • Look out for skin care products such as, moisturisers, cleansers, scrubs or sunscreen that are suitable for sensitive skin. These help avoid reactions and have minimum harsh effects on the skin.
  • Avoid washing your face too often. Washing your skin especially with soaps strips the natural oils and nutrients that are meant to be healthy for your skin. Do not use water that is too hot or too cold, wash your face with lukewarm water.
  • Always remember that “you are what you eat”! Stay away from junk food, caffeine and alcohol for healthy skin.
  • Always apply moisturiser especially in dry season.
  • Skin sensitivity is not just to the extent of your face and neck. This can be a problem that extends to the rest of your body. Gain good knowledge about body lotions, soaps, body washes, bath oils, shampoos and conditioners before you use so that you know if it’s suitable for your sensitive skin.
  • BM|PRO has a variety of products that are suitable for your body. Click Here
  • Drinking plenty of water assists in keeping the outside as well as the inside healthy. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  • Choose to use cleansers that are soap free as soap tends to deplete the skin’s natural oils. Always ensure that you rinse your face well without leaving any residue when using these products.
  • Exercising doesn’t only keep you fit, but also carries benefits for the skin. Because exercise causes your skin to sweat, it naturally clears out the pores and also enriches it with nutrients. Exercise is a good way to relieve stress. Stress leads to skin breakouts as it tears down natural antioxidants that help fight wrinkles and other aging marks.

9 BAD HABITS That Stands Between You and Great Skin:



*              Touching your face throughout the day: This habit is one of the major sources of breakout and rashes.
*              Wearing oil-based makeup and moisturizers: These formulas tend to clog your pores.
*              Sleeping with makeup: Make sure your skin sure is super-clean overnight so that it benefits from your body’s natural restorative work while you sleep.
*              Using grease pomades and oily hair sprays-these can run onto the face and cause breakouts.
*              Drinking too little water-dehydrated skin is dull,so drink 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water a day to hydrate skin and flush out impurities.
*              Skipping the sunblock-wear it any time you’re outdoors, even on cloudy days.
*              Stressing out-stress causes worry and frown lines, and it produces hormones that wreak havoc on your skin
*              Not eating several servings of fruits and vegetable each day-they are the best natural source of vitamin and antioxidants, which protects skin cells by neutralizing damaging and ageing free radicals.
Diagnosing and treating breakouts and rashes yourself: Always see a  dermatologist at the on set of any irritation to prevent further eruptions. Finally use BMPRO ANTI SHINE SERUM when applying your make up click HERE to find out more

Ive had such an interesting 2 weeks!! sort of a mini rollercoaster ride. though its been a lot of work, and sometimes i dont know where the strength comes from, I look back and cant remember the pain and stress. im only glad i was a part of the special day of these beautiful darlings!!! Thursday April 5th I did Nkechis makeup. Dami couldnt follow me to Dubai for Tola Oyeleke (now Okusanya) which made me quite sad as Dami is the best assistant Ever! she makes my life easy, knows what makeup item i am thinking of using even before i belt it out to her...sadly she waved me goodbye at the airport. i was on my own till i saw ayo and ayeesha (on their way to dubby as well) at the airport .
