MATTE MAKEUP

Mariyam Waheedha is probably the most famous TV Host in the Maldives. She is a woman of elegance, honesty and intelligence. And I am so thankful that she chooses me to do her makeup every time. It has now been about 2 years since we've been working together and this is one of the recent looks that i did for her.

The makeup - at first i covered her face and neck evenly with Kryolan's paint sticks, fs36 and chinese. I followed that with Janet's (a famous brand from Sri Lanka and it works wonders on our skin types) almond glow and chinese pancake foundations, which gave me this amazing and flawless finish in matte and then I also did go for a matte finish powder from Oriflame (a Swedish brand sold in Sri Lanka). Used nude eyeshadow colors and swept a smooth line with a flick at the end on the top lash line. I used cake liner for this (Kryolan). Applied mascara, did her eyebrows and applied just a hint of blush in coral shade. Finished off the look with my favorite lipstick - 21 pink fortress from Streetwear.

The Hair - blow dried , used a large barreled curling iron to curl 2/3rd of her length, used hair mousse to hold the style. Without breaking the curls, i used a comb to sweep her hair to a side. Held the hair in one hand and then took out a small section with the other. I rolled this section tightly around the hair and used two grip pins (bobby pins) to secure it in place. Sprayed some hair spray to keep down the little strays and topped it off wit shine spray.

This is a picture that i took by myself in the salon after i completed the look.
