Hi, Nice to Meet You

I'm MalianaC

Beauty lover, oily skin survivor, and fellow hyperpigmentation fighter here! My beauty obsession started in my mom’s vanity in Mali and has travelled with me across three continents to finally turn into a blog. 

While I’m still on my skincare journey, I love sharing what I’m learning along the way.

Here, I share my discoveries, wins, and occasional mishaps – whether I’m splurging on luxury finds or hunting for budget-friendly gems that actually work for our melanated skin.

💖 Getting Ready for a Wedding Diner in Mali 💖

For this wedding season, I wanted a flirty, flawless look that holds up in this Malian heat 😫🇲🇱! Here’s how I created this dreamy wedding glam:

1. Flawless Base: I started with ** @narsissist soft matte Concealer** to cover up hyperpigmentation and brighten my under-eye area. It’s the perfect creamy formula for smooth, full coverage that doesn’t feel heavy. 

2. **Bake & Set:** To keep everything in place all night, I baked with ** @hudabeauty Baking Powder**. It mattifies without drying and makes sure my makeup lasts through the celebrations! 

3. **Lashes That WOW:** False lashes are a must for wedding glam. These lashes from @kissproducts give my eyes the perfect sultry look - subtle but there- for a special occasion. 

4. **Liquid Blush Glow:** I used **Rare Beauty’s Liquid Blush** (not featured in the video, but trust me, it’s a *game changer*) for a natural flush of color and a soft, matte skin-like finish. It blends seamlessly and gives me that bridal flush! 

5. **Dreamy Pink Lips:** To finish, I went with a soft, romantic pink lip combo. Perfect for a wedding—flirty yet understated. 💕

What’s your go-to makeup for wedding season? Let me know in the comments!
