THE MUST HAVE MAKEUP PRODUCTS FOR A FLAWLESS FINISH

As a professional makeup artist and tutor, a lot of my clients and students have asked me questions like what do I use this for or do I need this? 

I will be sharing some key products that are quite essential to have in your makeup bag. If you don't have these products then get them immediately and if you already do, you are on track.

Before I get down to business, note that these products are not only meant for makeup artists but every individual that uses makeup at all.

1. Every makeup lover/user/guru need a face primer. A face primer not only prolongs your makeup but also keeps your foundation intact and helps it not smear. A face primer is a base that serves as a canvas to hold onto whatever makeup product you apply to your skin. Have you seen a makeup that the skin work looks streaked and smudged, that's because a primer wasn't applied or a good primer wasn't applied. It's one thing to buy a primer and it's another to buy a reputable one. I would recommend House of Tara face primer, Hegai & Esther face primer, and Zaron face primer because I have used all three and works magic.

2. Setting spray is a must-have because it simply prevents fading or smudging. It also extends the wear of your makeup. It will keep your makeup look from rubbing off on your face mask. Use it after foundation to lock it in and after the entire makeup is done. I would recommend Tara setting spray, Zaron setting spray, Kiss beauty setting spray and Sooo pro setting spray.

3. Setting powder is a must-have because it gives a flawless finish when mixed with foundation. It will also keep your foundation in place and reduce shine. Great for oily skin and I would recommend Maybelline setting powder.

4. Eye shadow primer is a must-have because it holds the eye shadow in place for longer periods and eliminates creasing in the eye area. It helps eye makeup go on smoother and prevents the fallout of the eye shadow. I would recommend Tara eye primer.

5. Beauty blender is a must-have for flawless application of foundation on the skin. I would recommend the Beauty line by didi pro beauty blender for that flawless application and make sure you apply the product with a damp blender. To know if your blender is original, it should be very soft when wet and swollen. 

6. Lip pencils are my go-to for perfectly outlined lips. It helps fill in uneven areas on the edges of the lips before applying lipstick.  It acts as a base for your lipstick. It also prevents lipstick bleeding or smudging. I would recommend Tara lip pencil and Zaron lip pencil.

These product items listed above are important for a beautifully made look. 

Thanks for reading and please do share with those interested in makeup.

If any questions put them down in the comment column.

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE IN HAUSALAND - THE PROCESS AND RITES

The Hausa are one of the most congested ethnic groups in Africa. They are heterogeneous in nature but culturally homogeneous people. They reside mostly in the Northern part of the country known to them as ''Arewa'' which is translated as Northern Nigeria. They are primarily Muslims while few are Christians. Although a great number of people in this region speak the Hausa language, different tribes among them have their own unique dialects. The Hausa traditional marriage is not as time consuming or expensive like the Yoruba and Igbo traditional marriage rites. Unlike in other culture where you are allowed some kind of freedom with the opposite sex, a Hausa man and woman don't have such freedom and the only thing that will bring about sexual contact between them is marriage.
