My BLACK UP kit

I have had a long difficult struggle with finding the right colour of foundation and powder. It has really been difficult  because the colours were either to light or way too dark. This is very common problem especially for darker skin tone women.  I was introduced to Black Up by a friend of mine who does bridal make-up. She did my make up on my wedding day and I have to say I was totally happy with the way I looked after she was done. These products cost a bit more than the usual products I had  purchased but in  my opinion it is well worth the spend. The only problem I have is that the isn't many stores in South Africa that sell this beauty line. You can get it online at  Black Up Cosmetics or at selected Edgars Stores. You can check online for a store locator.

This is my current Black Up Make Up Kit

My set consists of a primer, foundations, powder, concealer and a 2 in 1 pencil.

 This primer is so lovely. After it is applied on my face feels so smooth and velvety.

The concealer I have is in a pen form. You have to click the top to push more concealer to the bristles. I really like this concealer in the pen form as it makes it easier to apply the concealer in the areas you need to, and it looks natural

This 2 in 1 crayon is very versatile. I use it as a liner, a lip stain and even under my other lipsticks. It stays on for most of the day which I like. I hate having to re-coat my lips during the day.

I apply the foundation using a foundation brush that I also purchased from Edgars. I feel this is easier for me than using the sponge that is provided. What I also love about this product is that you don't have to use a lot and look cakey. A LITTE GOES A LONG WAY. My face has a glow and my skin looks much more even tone.
