We are living in the era where babes spend large sums of money to get sets of make-ups kits just to freshen, conceal black spots and beautify their faces.

Now,women around the country are changing their makeup line to Blackup loose powder cosmetics,Nollywood babes are not left out as they are going crazy for it in recent times.

Blackup loose power cosmetics is said to be rated among the most expensive makeover kits in this side of the world and ranges from shades created for ethnic skins and women of color.

As a result of its richness in precious plant base minerals that cover the skin with an incredibly soft matte finish,which perfects the complexion and gives it an exceptional hold,a pinch of Blackup loose powder can bring out an excellent facial appearance.

As such,the manufacturers direct that any user of Blackup should be minimal in application and babes take only a pinch.

This method of application however does not seem to be appropriate for top actresses Chika Ike,Halima Abubakar and Empress Njama.

These actresses do not seem to understand the quantity of makeup to be applied on their faces in one outing,as they heap excess layers of powder that eventually gives the appearance of a mask.

Sunday penultimate week,in one of the most attended and popular events held in Lagos State,top actress Chika Ike who has turned to be one of the most influential babes in Nollywood stepped out in a very fitted and glamorous long gown that gave her the façade of an angel.

However,her facial look almost condemned her gorgeous appearance.This is because,she coated her makeup heavily that she lost the desired effect that could turn heads.

Instead,she got the looks of a masquerade ready to hit the dancing arena.

Top actress Halima Abubakar also lost what she had in mind before applying her makeup that Sunday.

Added to the extra weight she has allowed on her body,her face appeared to be a camouflage.

From the application of her powder,foundation which took over all the upperlayer,her lipstick,eye shadow and liner were heavily applied that one will wonder if Ms. Abubakar sent a double as a representative.

Although top actress Empress Njama is generally known with her outrageous hairstyles,she has added more undue looks to her personality.This time,she has added more layers to her makeup that it now speaks louder than voice.

At the same event,actress Empress Njama stepped out with a face heavily built with makeup that was not suitable for the recent hot weather.

Immediately she stepped down from her air conditioned Range Rover Sport,the hot wind attacked her face,she faced the heavens,turned her fingers to a hand fan and started blowing profusely.

Mixed with sweat,Ms. Njama's face became unfriendly to camera lenses and the result was the appearance of an old woman.

However,singer Susan Harvey a.k.a Goldie really got it right that night.She was the only person who understood that her makeup needs to be very moderate in order to survive the harsh weather.

She applied her makeup in a very lighter mood to avoid the embarrassment that will come after being soaked with sweat on the red carpet.
Ms. Harvey was very simple in her application and achieved that babyish look that kept her face dry all night.
