Celebrations and a little something extra

I started off on the Good Foot this morning!  As I was doing my makeup, MAC- only (forever and always) my bf Queen B texted me.  It had totally slipped my mind that she was going to the doctor to get an ultrasound to determine the sex of her first child.  Congrats Queen B on Baby Boy B!!!! Can't wait to see the little man come February!!! 

I feel like I need to touch on my love for MAC.  I know that there are women out there who do not like to wear make up.  I am not one of those women.  I do not need to wear make up but I choose to wear makeup because it gives me a little extra something!  I do feel like all women can benefit from makeup.  Even the Basics can go a LONG way!  Some of the basics that I feel women should have are simple. 

1. Moisturizer-  I am Black (and Black don't Crack (or so they say).  My skin can be oily and I still moisturise everyday.  I know that this will be a huge plus for me when I am older and have very few wrinkles.  I feel that all women should take care of their skin (face included) and have a good moisturiser.  It goes a long way!  Please believe me
2. Lips- If you aren't putting something on your lips, please go somewhere and buy a good lip balm.  Because people are looking at your face when you talk, dried lips can distract them.  Make sure to help those dry chapped lips and put a little something on them.  Your lips will thank you (I promise!!!)
3. Even you Out- I know that some women are afraid that a foundation will be too heavy.  I agree!  I am not a big foundation person.  I do think that it is nice have a nice even complexion.  My solution would be to get a tinted moisturizer.  That way you are getting the moisture that you so desperately need and a little tint of something to make you sparkle! 
4. Eyes- I might be the queen of the bright over the top eye!  But that is okay with me!  I am not saying that everyone needs to go over the top.  A little eye make up can do wonders for the face.  I would say that a good mascara can open up the eyes.  If you don't feel comfortable wearing eye shadow, the mascara can still help you out!!
5. Waxing- This goes along with the eyes- but making sure that your eye brows are waxed and/or plucked/ threaded (whatever is the method that you prefer) is a simple little thing to do.  I know that it may hurt but it looks so Good!!!! Ladies, if you have a mustache- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take care of it!  I know that some of you think that if you wax/pluck/thread/ the hair that it will come back thicker.  This is NOT true.  If you are getting the eyebrows plucked, please let them take care of the mustache on the top lip!!!  Do not let yourself swim in DENIAL!  People are looking at the mustache!  Take care of it...

I am not an expert on Makeup... I know that!  But these little easy steps can do so much for you!
