It was the funniest thing because she did not wear any makeup, nor did she know how to use it. So guess who started running the business? Me. This is where my love for makeup started. I am no makeup expert, and although I am very comfortable with playing on my face, I&#8217;d prefer not to be asked to do anyone else&#8217;s makeup. It usually turns out good, but I&#8217;m not comfortable enough. I&#8217;d try it on my own face though. I do such a good job on my own face that every time I am around my fellow bloggers, they ask me if I am a beauty blogger. Nope. So when I got the opportunity to try some looks from my beloved Mary Kay\u00ae &#8211; my first love &#8211; I was all too happy to try. So I tried two different looks, and of course, I&#8217;ll tell you all about them! <\/p>\n<h2>The Sculpted Look<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_11056\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.com\/clicktracker.php?nid=2112856&amp;cid=2112837&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fverastic.com%2Fsite%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FThe-Sculpted-Look.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11056\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11056\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Sculpted-Look.jpg\" alt=\"The Sculpted Look by Mark Kay\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Sculpted-Look.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Sculpted-Look-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sculpted Look by Mark Kay\u00ae<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This was the first look I did, and everything I used is pictured above, except my foundation and my eyebrow filler. Although Mary Kay\u00ae sent me a brow liner, it was blonde, so I had to use mine. With this look, the focus was on the lips and brows. Now look, you know what totally blew me out of the water? It was the eye smudger brush. This was my first time using one, and it worked so well that I began to wonder what I have been doing all my life. How have I been doing it? Why didn&#8217;t anyone tell me? Also, I would never have picked the Juicy Guava Mineral Cheek Duo, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. When it comes to cheek color, I am not an explorer at all, but this look forced me to try something new, and I. Loved. It. The eyeliner glided on so smoothly that once again I wondered why I had not been using this. And I love the fact that it&#8217;s not too thick. The Spice &#8216;N&#8217; Nice lipstick has a satin finish, so it glided on very smoothly, too, and maintained a shine all by itself. I didn&#8217;t need to put gloss on top of it. In the end, this is what I looked like:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11057\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.com\/clicktracker.php?nid=2112856&amp;cid=2112837&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fverastic.com%2Fsite%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FMary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Closed-Eyes.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11057\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11057\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Closed-Eyes.jpg\" alt=\"Mary Kay Sculpted Look -Closed Eyes\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Closed-Eyes.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Closed-Eyes-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mary Kay\u00ae Sculpted Look -Closed Eyes<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_11058\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.com\/clicktracker.php?nid=2112856&amp;cid=2112837&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fverastic.com%2Fsite%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FMary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Open-Eyes.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11058\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11058\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Open-Eyes.jpg\" alt=\"Mary Kay Sculpted Look - Open Eyes\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Open-Eyes.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Mary-Kay-Sculpted-Look-Open-Eyes-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mary Kay\u00ae Sculpted Look &#8211;

Remember I told you how much of a non-risk taker I am when it comes to cheeks? I&#8217;m just always afraid of looking like I have a pepperoni slice on each cheek. The items I used are above, and once again, everything but my foundation and brow filler is pictured. For this look, I literally opened the cheek color and cringed. It was a beautiful color, but it was a color I had never used. This reminds me of the time I used to be afraid of red lipstick. Although I had never tried it, I had it in my head that it wouldn&#8217;t look good on me, so I never tried &#8212; until the day I tried. That was the exact experience I had with the Spiced Poppy cheek color. It was so colorful and pigmented that I got scared, but after I put it on and blended it in, I was feeling myself. There are two other things that I absolutely loved: the gel eye liner and the bronzing powder. I had never owned both of these items because once again, I was unnecessarily afraid of them. I thought gel eye liners would be messy and bronzing powder, I just did not know how to use. Well, I do now! Why didn&#8217;t anyone tell me how easy it is to use the gel eye liner? My life is completely changed!

I had a little too much fun with this Mary Kay\u00ae makeup, and Igwe&#8217;s face alone was all the entertainment I needed. He always has this look on his face when I&#8217;m doing my makeup as if he&#8217;s thinking, <em>&#8220;Women have too much time on their hands,&#8221;<\/em> but he always loves the end result. He has even suggested that when we have our white wedding, I should not hire a makeup artist. Yeah, right! Must be pampered on that day! How can an Oga Madam not have a makeup artist?
