Chic Up with Chic Street ZW

Coco Chanel was right when she said, “If you’re sad add more lipstick and attack.” There’s something about getting your makeup done professionally that makes you feel like you can conquer the world. Without it you can still conquer, however, after a few slicks of Black Opal Heatwave lipstick and Midnight Azure eye shadow the levels have gone and changed the game.

Glammed Up

Personally getting my makeup done has nothing to do with the misconstrued notion that one is trying to cover up their flaws, it’s all about adding that edge to complement any look I decide to rock – it’s about making an effort and accentuating my already long lashes and my eyes which I love, even my already big bottom lip – I do it for me and no one else and I love it. 

I had the pleasure of being a part of a concept shoot with the director of Fashion Bloggers Association Zimbabwe (@FBA_ZIM) Tendai Kamusikiri of Signature Toscie and key members Robin Chaibva of Concrete Jungle Fashion ZW and Sharron Mungazi of Deffinatlyshaz. Together fuelled by our love for fashion and beauty we joined forces with Chic Street ZW studios in Newlands and got flawless and breathtaking chic-ups. A chic up is suitable for day events, interviews and outdoor photo shoots. The makeup products used were by Black Opal which certainly didn’t disappoint. 

Because I’m a bit of a drama queen (laughs) I went for a glamorous and captivating look. I’m all about drama in the eyes and oh so kissable lips. Head makeup artist Luscha hooked me up with my look and I was impressed by her professionalism and flawless technique. The team wasn’t just about getting the job done; they took their time, asked relevant questions about our skincare and were willing to help assist us with mapping a way forward. The mere fact that they were open to answering our questions made it even more comfortable to be seated up in their makeup chairs. 

It’s no lie that all of us walked out of the studio with a spring in our step- every girl should at least cross the lines sometimes, spoil themselves, get their makeup done and walk like you own all the buildings in town. Have your moment and feel it!!! #NoApologies

Whether you’re a downtown or an uptown girl Chic Street Studios has something for you. Let me not forget to say that they also stock outfits for all shapes and sizes for any occasion. If you’re looking to get all glammed and dolled up, don’t just take my word for it – head to the store and find out for yourself. 

Sweetness
