#OwnYourCulture: Makeup with Winnie

Lately, I have found myself more and more intrigued by beauty and different makeup items. I am a fashion girl to the core and most times, I like my face as simple as possible- a dab of foundation, lipstick and if I remember- mascara. I have nothing against makeup- I just really prefer to have outstanding outfits and clear, glowing skin. I always hope to do that naturally but given my kind of work schedule, I suffer from dryness sometimes or just tired skin from several sleepless nights or long days in the sun! I love that through www.ownyourcultureafrica.com we get to meet so  many fabulous experts. One such expert is Winnie of winniethefashionista.com. We got the deets on perfecting your makeup skills. Check out ownyourcultureafrica.com for more!

#OwnYourCulture: Congolese Edition with Rshan Phonsi

With the #OwnYourCulture movement It's my hope and dream to travel across Africa learning about the diverse cultures. I have been having a superb time learning from around East Africa, the beauty of it all is completely breathtaking. I can only imagine how much more fabulous lays beyond here. I was super excited to work with Rshan a Congolese style blogger. It was exciting to learn about her home and culture.  Being passionate about her country and youth empowerment, two ideals I hold dear, It was amazing to get together to create and learn. See more of our cool style visuals on www.ownyourcultureafrica.com
