Make Up Looks

If you look closely enough at the symbol on my cheek you should be able to identify every letter of the alphabet and every number from 0–9. Within this shape is everything I have ever thought, ever said or ever will say and is a reminder of the power of language; to always be mindful of the energy that I not only put out, but also absorb, through the medium of spoken word. Once something is said, it cannot be unsaid and that is not something to be taken for granted.

By Naomi Howell. Naomi occupies most of her time creating content for her social media platforms, which you can follow here. She manages the make-up department at a popular alternative clothing store in London, as well as doing freelance work in the education sector. On top of this Naomi loves to sing, dance, cook and co-hosts not one but two podcasts which you can find here and here.

This makeup look draws on two of the most well known letters in the world, Alpha and Omega. Alpha is represented by the shades of red and the alpha symbol. Omega by the shades of blue and its symbol. The colours used in this look contrast and compliment each other nicely being unified in the gold glitter.

These words now have connotations in our society, one of power and leadership the other of nurturing and discipline. I wanted to use both letters because I think elements of both of their implied meanings are used and needed in everyday life.

This means that her personality is a wonderful mix of pretentious city slicker and down-to-earth farm girl. The best description she has ever heard for who she is was from Dolly Parton, a Backwoods Barbie.
