CONFESSIONS OF A MAKEUP JUNKIE CON VRS PRO

JES ISCAH

At what age did you first start using makeup?

- Well, I got my brows trimmed by my mum at age 5 (does that count lol ) but put on foundation when I was 19yrs & in university .

Do you remember the brand?

- It was MAC

Why do you love makeup?

- I love it because it's a form of art and I'm an artist .. I love to draw and paint plus I studied visual arts back in High school . Makeup helps me to express myself in terms of art and mood, that's why I love it !

Where did you learn to do your makeup?

- On YouTube from a known Makeup artist called Wayne Goss (GossMakeupArtist) .. He's an amazing international makeup artist! And I still learn a lot from his channel!

What are your favourite brands?

- I Love NARS , MAC , MakeupGeeK , Anastasia Beverly Hills, Evita Joseph, Becca Cosmetics & MORPHE Brushes

Would you consider your makeup style natural or dramatic?

- I consider my makeup style as Natural even tho I like to spice it up every now and then so it's not boring!

Your go to makeup look?

- My go to makeup look would be A natural full face beat without eyeshadow and lipstick but with lashes

One Makeup item you can't live without?

- An EyeBrow pencil !

Worst makeup experience/buy?

- Hmm you need a 100 litre bottle of Coke for this because it's just long lol .. But to sum it up, I ordered a set of brushes & Lipstick from an online shop here in Accra (TheBeautyBoxGh) , saw their Instagram post of the Real Technique brush set and it looked neat , kept and very attractive ! Only for the package to arrive & it looked like it was dragged on stones and looked extremely old. So I contacted the retailer and told her I had received the package & that the brushes are intact but the package looks really bad. And the Lipstick was also not sealed.

And I quote, what she replied " Maybe we should write to real techniques n colour Pop cosmetics to make a complaint about their packaging.Pls sister, if u buy it yourself from color pop in the states u will get it the same way,It is not sealed pls,

I am not in charge of manufacturing so pls don't make it look like I produced the packaging! "

As a blogger, I blog attractive things so packaging is very important to me! So for a retailer to tell a me the client this , obviously I'm never buying anything from you again and I'll also tell friends the kind of service you provide!
