My mother was my first and most important influence. When I was a little girl, she would take me shopping for pigments that flattered dark skin tones, mixing and playing until she'd created her ideal shade.
The lipstick, to make a matte that feels like heaven, is unheard of.
I've always wanted to have my own business, but not in the traditional sense... I always found that quite off-putting. I just wanted to be different.
When I was a child, the world of makeup was so different. There wasn't the wide range of shades available for darker skin tones like there is now.
For a fast touch-up, mix a lipstick with a little bit of balm to create a stain. You can also use your foundation as a concealer.
Thin applications and small amounts in the right places is kind of the way to go with metallics for every day.
