Living the best of both worlds in the beauty industry

By Chantel Mashiane

“Never do anything half-heartedly. Always do everything to the best of your abilities” said Kelly-Anne Goeieman.

A 22-year-old model and make-up artist, Kelly-Anne Goeieman is living her best life. She was born and raised in Eldorado Park, South of Johannesburg. She matriculated at Sir John Adamson High School.

She started her modelling career at the age of 12, she received her very first modelling job through an agency she did a fashion show for at the time. Her modelling career started off “as a hobby and then I found that I really enjoyed it,” she explains.

She is a ramp model, that consists of fashion shows and hair shows such as the soft n free hair expert challenge. However, she has not ventured into editorial modelling just yet.

Her inspiration to get into the beauty industry had always been something she wanted to do but was uncertain of. “I feel like this industry chose me in the end,” said Goeieman. She completed her qualification in Somatology at the University of Johannesburg in 2018.

Living the best of both worlds means that she has to incorporate both beauty and modelling into her life which can be very challenging.

Beauty is such a huge industry and because of the job she chose, she feels that it all worked out in her favour. “With the work I do, I know what it’s like to be behind the scenes and the amount of work that it takes. With the modelling I know what it feels like being in the front line,” she explains.

She finds both the jobs exciting and that they each have a fair share of hard work, she states that it is all about finding a balance and doing what she loves in the end.

All Things Beautiful.

Makeup! Something seen to many women as essential, has become one of the most popular trends to date.

Women want to look “on fleek” when going out and that means putting on a decent to large amount of make up.

There’s so many things to consider though, as this trend gets bigger, the more products you find yourself buying and applying to have that perfect look. Ranging from foundation to concealer, primers to translucent powders, eyeliners to lashes and the list is endless.

As horrific as all this may sound, it actually has its perks, and that is the end result. A beautiful yet radiant contour and highlight, with eyebrows that are on point or as the youngings say it ‘brows on fleek’, a killer lipstick shade and a finish that has ladies staring at you in envy and men thinking you’re a “snack”.

Here are a few tips on creating the ‘brows on fleek’ look to keep you trending with the rest of the squad.

Step 1: Nicely shape your eyebrows into the shape that you like or better yet a shape that suits your face. You can tweeze or thread your brows into the desired shape.

Step 2: Brush your eyebrows upwards, to ensure that you are able to see your eyebrow shape.

Step 3: Line the bottom part of your brow with eyebrow liner or eyebrow pencil. It is best to use a shade that compliments your skin, instead of a colour that matches your hair. As sometimes using a very dark shade such as black can be a bit too much and too dramatic for your face.

Step 4: Move on to lining the top part of your eyebrow using the exact same liner.

Step 5: Fill in the rest of your eyebrow with the shade you’ve been using.

Step 6: Use concealer to clean around the eyebrow to give it the right amount of definition and shape you desire. Do not forget to lighten the inner parts of your brows, as natural eyebrows are lighter there (you can use concealer to create the smooth transition). Doing this will give you natural but on fleek eyebrows.

Repeat steps 3 – 6 with the other brow.
