... Read moreIf you're exploring the soft glam makeup trend, especially for black girls, you'll find that this style beautifully enhances natural features while providing an elegant, polished look. I recently had the chance to try a soft glam makeup session with a talented Houston-based makeup artist, MonetdaMUA, and it truly transformed my routine. What I appreciated most was how soft glam focuses on subtle yet effective use of makeup products—think warm tones, glowing skin, and well-defined eyes without overdoing it. MonetdaMUA recommended starting with a luminous foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly to create that flawless base. Adding soft browns and golds to the eyelids helps bring warmth and depth to the eyes, a technique that works wonderfully for darker skin tones. One of the game-changers in my look was the use of highlighter applied strategically on the cheekbones, nose bridge, and inner corners of the eyes, which imparted a radiant glow without seeming too flashy. Pairing the makeup with nude or soft pink lip colors enhances the overall natural yet sophisticated vibe. Remember, soft glam is as much about enhancing your natural beauty as it is about feeling confident. I found that booking a session with a skilled MUA who understands your skin undertones and preferences makes all the difference. For those in the Houston area, exploring local MUAs who specialize in black girl makeup can provide personalized tips and products tailored to your needs. Overall, soft glam is a versatile style ideal for everyday wear or special occasions, and with the right techniques, anyone can achieve this effortlessly chic look.

BOOK SERIES that are NOT SPICY 🌶️ ❌
I’m not gonna lie to you guys right now… I prefer romance books with no spice. THERE I SAID IT. I just feel like some authors rely too much on the spice to carry the book while the authors that choose to not write smut focus on the actual relationships more 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyways… . . . #closedd
