JAY's Make-Up with Girl Talk

This is Oheenewaa. She is the presenter of Girl Talk. This program is all about girls so the colors must be colorful and bright. For her eyeshadows i decided to use blue and gold to blend them together because these two colors look really good together. For her lips I used pink to bring out her beautiful lips. As you can see they are thick and so it should come out boldly but subtle at the same time. As much as i want to use all the bright colors since its recorded during the day it should be day make-up.

JAY's Make-Up with EAZZY BABY

JAY's Make-up for "Let's get it Started"

This is Eazzy, one of the female artiste  in the music industry in Ghana. I had the opportunity to do her make-up for a music video for Ziggy’s new song ‘Let’s Get it Started’. Her make-up for the video was a wild one because of the story behind the video. Just check out some of the pictures and the video as well

JAY's Make-up for "Let's Get it Started"

A few questions my friends asked me and here are my answers to the questions.

1.     What was your experience shooting a music video?

It was fun. It was something different from the normal studio work that I do. This time around I had to dab off sweat a lot since it was in an open place and the artist was dancing a lot. The crew were all new people that I had not met so the environment was different. All in all it was pleasant, yet challenging too however I still enjoyed myself.

2.     How long did it take you?

It took the whole day starting from the morning since we needed daylight. We shot at a mechanics place first and then moved to different locations. Each location needed different make-up to reflect the environment.

3.     Would you do it again?

Yes I totally would. It was a difference experience all together and it allows you to use a lot of colors with the shadows for the eyes. It also inspires you to learn more on make-up for different themes. I love being versatile with my make-up and music videos give me that opportunity.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIPS

Thick Lip

THICK LIPS – Select natural colours and darker shades, avoiding bright glossy colours.

• Blend foundation over the lips to disguise the natural lip line
• Apply a darker lipliner inside the natural lip line to create a new line

THICKER UPPER  OR LOWER LIP

• Use the technique described above to make the larger lip appear smaller
• Apply a slightly darker lipstick to the larger lip
• If the lips droop at the corners, raise the corners by applying lipliner to the corners of the upper lip to turn them upwards.

Thin Upper Lip

THIN LIPS- Select brighter, pearlised colours. Avoid darker lipsticks, which will make the mouth appear smaller.

• apply a natural lipliner just outside the lip line

SMALL MOUTH

• extend the line slightly to the corners of the mouth, with both the upper and the lower lips

UNEVEN LIPS

• Use a lipliner to draw in a new line
• Apply lipstick to the area

LINES AROUND THE MOUTH

• Apply lipliner around the natural lip line
• Apply a matt cream lipstick to the lips. (don’t use gloss, which might bleed into the lines around the mouth)

Thin Upper Lip

Full Lips

Lip in need of therapy!

Entertainment Make-up

This is Caroline, our entertainment presenter on eTV. Naturally with entertainment I am allowed to play more with my colors to make her funky and colorful. I usually concentrate a lot on her eye area, which includes drawing her eyebrow and then applying mascara and then the one that does the magic of all: the eye shadows. I explore with colors such as gold, green and blue chosen specially for this day. I blended it in very well to match the eyelid to get the effect that I want for the eye area. Everything with her makeup for today is supposed to be bold, funky and interesting. So you can see from the picture that I played around with the colors gold, green and blue. Keep following my blog for more tips on how to do your make-up for entertainment programs. 

100 degrees

Preparing Former President for his interview

Applying loose powder 

This is one of the most important make-up that I did for the former president, John Agyekum Kuffour on one of our shows called 100 degrees. You may be wondering why a man would need make-up? Men also use make-up for several reasons. In this case the former president was about to get interviewed. During these interviews the lights used for television are very strong so I need to protect his face from shining and sweating. As he is our very own x-president I had to make sure that his face wasn’t shining. I decided to apply loose powder that fits his complexion. The trick is to make it as light as possible so that it blends in with his own color.

I was so excited and privileged to be doing make-up for our former president, John Agyekum Kuffour. This is a day that I will never forget.

Men with make-up?

In this case make-up for tv is necessary however a lot of men, especially influential men, have also been known to be using make-up on a daily basis. What do you think of this?

For healthy and Good Looking Skin

 First of all I would like us to talk about the SKIN. Your skin is the first thing every one sees so it has to look fresh  and radiant at all times. In order to achieve clear and fresh looking skin, you need to eat a lot of fruits and drink a lot of water. Water keeps your skin hydrated. Since you are going to be walking under the sun most of the time it is advisable to drink a lot of water to also calm the makeup down. This is especially true when your skin is very oily.

Fruit Diet

Drink lots of water

Eat lots of fruits

You also need to eat a lot of fruits to give you all the necessary vitamins to keep your skin smooth and glowing. Here are some of the fruits you should consider eating: apple, watermelon and pawpaw and other fresh vegetables.  So what do you plan on eating today to keep your skin looking radiant?

Day1- MOISTURIZE

Hi, this is Jay’s make-up, making life more beautiful. Do you know you have to moisturize your face before applying your make-up. This is because it serves as a barrier between your face and the make-up so that you don’t get any reaction on your face.  Even if you don’t react to the make-up moisturizer helps you not age early. When you use make-up a lot first of all there’s a lot of friction on your face and constant usage of make-up can cause your skin to dry up leading to wrinkles. So to avoid all of that, one of the ways is to use a Moisturizer before applying your make-up.
