Makeup Transformation | Afrikahs Perspective| Becomming My Own M.U.A.

I must say this was one of the best makeup practice sessions that I have had in a long time and I really like incorporating jewelry pieces that I design and create with a makeup look, it makes it more interesting. Since there are a million and one beauty/makeup tutorials. I wanted to give you  a different perspective of what can be done by a beginner/novice at makeup combined with a passion for beaded jewelry design and see what I can come up with.



To see me transform into Look #2

Stay tuned for the next series of looks based off of jewelry that I create. If you are interested in any of the jewelry pieces shown in this blog or any upcoming blogs please feel free to contact me via email  shopafrikahsperspective@live.com
