Makeup & Style
Makeup - What's in the lipgloss? Better yet, what are you smothering on your face? This section is dedicated to exploring our cosmetic options while simultaneously helping you choose wisely. Makeup is an option used to enhance your naturally beautiful features. If you're going to use it, know what your using.
All right, now that you have decided to participate in the All Tressed Up “Red Lip Challenge,” here are a few helpful hints on selecting and applying the proper shade based on your undertone and skin tone. There are a lot of options on the market and it can be somewhat scary when looking for the right red for you, especially for women of color with deep brown skin. From matte to cream to liquid to glosses to stains – it can be a bit overwhelming for most.

As you know, I am a very low-maintenance type of girl. Make-up, unlike most beauty topics for me, is not one that I am completely obsessed about. I think it is pretty and can do wonderful things. I just have this fear of becoming addicted to it. You know how you see someone and then you see them again without make-up and they are somewhat unrecognizable??? Yeah, I don't want that. Nor do I want folks to ask me if I am sick all because I'm not wearing my 'face'.
