1. Why I Love Braided Hairstyles For Black Girls – Makeup Wearables in My Beauty & Style Studio
I remember a little girl named Amara who came into my studio for her first school photos.
Her mom had braided her hair into the cutest cornrows with beads.
And all she wanted was a soft glow that wouldn’t look like makeup.
I focused on her skin—a warm, caramel tone—and gave her a sheer tinted moisturizer, a peachy blush, and a dab of clear gloss.
That’s the beauty of braided looks: they frame the face so beautifully that you don’t need heavy makeup.
The braids pull the eye upward, so I keep the base fresh and the brows softly defined. It’s about enhancing, not covering.
