how's my makeup: ahsek novel

                                 Ahsek Novel, Summer 2016 for Brown Sugar Promotions LLC

"I like to wear makeup especially eyeliner and mascara...you can use makeup to get the look you want but you also want to feel good about what you're wearing regardless of what others may think so wear it proudly...eventually you'll learn what looks good and what doesn't look good on you just like certain hairstyles and you'll develop a technique on how to best apply your makeup, no one can tell you that, please know that wearing makeup doesn't always mean looking like a clown as i've seen some really great before/after photos of natural, barely there makeup shots but healthy skin is always the winning factor, if the skin is healthy then your makeup will look even better and for some this means the less makeup you'll want to wear, it's science...the best thing about makeup in 2016 is that there are more shades to accommendate all of our skintones in regards to liquid and pressed foundation, i still mix but for the most part i'm a solid Caramel complexion with warm golds and yellow undertones just like honey or sweet tea...i don't like loud colors in general but i will try 'em just to see if i fancy how it looks on my face...as far as brands, i really enjoyed M.A.C for foundation and lip color even wanted to be a brand ambassador for them until i heard they tested on animals and i'm not cool with that so i switched up, L'oreal has a pretty good mascara and eyeliner which i currently use for most of my photoshoots...alot of times i've found that other women will try and "makeup shame" you, not guys but women (which is really not want i'm trying to catch...keeping it real grown with that) and my thing is anyone can wear makeup and good for you if you don't have to or if you choose not to...just like wearing weave, eyelashes, colored contacts, acrylic nails, spray tans and bronzers or whatever you do to look the way YOU want...not really sure why that would make someone else mad but there are so many things in this world that others have no control over...thank the heavens for maturity and common sense LOL" -Ahsek Novel, San Francisco
