What's your favorite nude lippie? If you are a mua, how do you determine the perfect shade of nude on different skin tones?

"Glow Queen", a nickname given to me by a dear friend and picked up by others. It's no secret I am addicted to a heavily highlighted face. The areas to highlight are top of the cheek bone, bridge and tip of nose, under the brow bone, area above the eyebrows on the forehead and chin. However, highlighting can be tricky depending on you skin type. For example, you should not heavily highlight oily skin as it will end up looking like sweat. What are some of your favorite highlighters?

Let's talk brushes!! I found the Two Faced brushes at winners and for such an awesome price that I could not resist. The bristles are so soft and feels really good on the face. Using proper brushes are so important to get you look to be perfectly blended and pigmented. My favorite brushes are from Make Up For Ever and if they weren't so pricey I would buy multiple of them just to have . Here's a secret little tip which not many artists will tell you, use smaller brushe...s. What do I mean? Well I will explain further in a tutorial or a live session . What are some of your fav brushes?

Wearing my absolute favorite liquid lipstick by @maybelline. It's smudge-free and stays as vibrant throughout the day as first applied. You will need a makeup remover to remove this lipstick so rest assured that you will not need to touch it up. It's my go-to lipstick for myself and my brides due to its staying power. It's especially been a blessing now with having to wear a mask, the rest of my makeup could move but not my lipstick. Most importantly, it does not have th...e strong chemical taste and smell as most other liquid lipsticks. Have you tried this and what's your experience been like? #maybelline #superstaylipstick #superstaymaybelline #superstaymatteink #liquidlipstick #lipstickaddict #lips #makeupgoals #softglammakeup #softglam #undiscoveredmakeupartist #underratedmuas #universalhairandmakeup #wakeupandmakeup #hudabeauty #hudabeauties #glambydiba

I get asked about my eyebrows all the time and have had so many requests on a brow tutorial which I promise I will get to it but for now here is a little guide on which product to pick for your brows. Personally I used the pomade for 3+ years but have switched to a pencil for 2+ years now. I loved using a pomade and still use it on my brides unless the bride has very full brows. The pomade gives you the ability to reshape your brows to a desired shape, something completely... different due to its creamy formula which glides onto the skin. Ideal for those with very sparse or non-existent brows as you can draw in any shape. I wouldn't recommend using it too often for too long, switch it up with another brow product to avoid hair loss on brows. I love using a pencil!!! It's super quick, whereas it would take me 15-20 mins with the pomade, I spend maybe 5 with a pencil. You can only fill in the sparse areas and do not have to do the whole brow. Definitely recommend for those who have a few mins to get ready and want to add shape and definition to existing brows. Here are the pros and cons for both products: Pencil Pros: Precision Easy to use Fast application Natural Finish Hair-like strokes Fine tip Lasts all day Cons: Pricey Harder formula Pomade pros: Very pigmented Little goes a long way Can reshape eyebrows to desired shape Can draw thin/thick lines Lasts all day Cons: Needs Practice Brows can look too bold Takes longer What brow product are you currently using? How do you like it?

In the Afghan culture, a bride has to wear green during the ceremony and white for the reception. Lately most brides have been opting for a traditional Afghan outfit over a gown. What is the traditional wedding dress color in your culture? Do you wear a different color/outfit for the ceremony and the reception? ... #traditionaloutfit #afghanwedding #afghandukht #afghanclothes #nikkahdress #greendress #afghandresses #afghani #afghangirls #afghantradition #afghanimood #afghanhoundsofinstagram #afghantradition #wedding #makeup #bridalmakeupartist #bridals #glambydiba

My beautiful Afghan Bride . She was such a easy going and sweet bride, told me to wing it. Her reception got canceled due to covid so she decided to go ahead with a very intimate get together to celebrate her wedding with her family. I really wanted her to look her absolute best and to enhance her beautiful features. We were both very happy with the result and how her hair, makeup and outfit all came together. My heart goes out to all the brides who had to postpone the...ir weddings multiple times and hoping 2021 is a better year and everyone's events take place as planned . #afghan #afghangirl #afghanwedding #afghandress #afghanculture #afghanhound #afghanfashion #afghanjewellery #afghanclothes #afghanstyle #afghans #afghanjewelry #afghanhoundsofinstagram #wakeupandmakeup #afghanmakeup #afghanbride #curlsoncurls #haircurl #afghankoochi #afghandukht #afghanimood #glambydiba

Life isn't perfect but your outfit can be Just when I thought things can only get better as this year has been anything but good, we are now hit with the news of the virus having mutated. It's been difficult because the moment I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel, the end seems to be dragged farther away from sight. How do you keep positive and stay hopeful for a better and covid-free tomorrow? ... #greendress #pleateddress #nikkahdress #ponytail #fashionstyle #stylepost #instamood #instafashion #fashionstatement #dressoftheday #outfitlook #wakeupandmakeup #fiercesociety #instamoment #fashionnova #fashionlover #vasanticosmetics #brightenup #glambydiba
