Youngster Turns Granny into Connie Chiume Twin, SA Shares Opposing Reactions

• A young South African makeup artist gave her grandmother a makeover using affordable makeup
• The creative woman recorded the glow-up process and amazed many people with the end result
• Social media users shared their thoughts on the granny’s new look in a thread of opposing comments

A young South African makeup artist, Zainap Labulabu, gave her grandmother a makeover using affordable Maybelline products. Labulabu swiftly took off her client’s tangled wig and started with the makeup look.

She replaced the hair with a bob and wiped the granny’s face with a wipe. To moisturise, Labulabu used a Nivea face cream and powdered the client’s eyebrows before she traced them using an angled brush.

The makeup artist perfected the eyes using concealer, eyeliner, and artificial lashes. To block access oil from ruining the makeup, Labulabu used a mattifying primer.

The makeup artist used a fluffy brush to apply foundation that perfectly matched the granny’s dark skin. A different and much brighter concealer was applied under the client’s eyes to cover up dark circles.

To keep everything in place, the makeup artist used mattifying powder. Labulabu added life to her granny’s face by applying pink blush on her cheeks.

To ensure that the makeup doesn’t get cakey or moved around by oily skin, they applied setting spray. Finishing touches include lipstick and eyeshadow.

People online had opposing views after the video reached over two million views. Some were happy with the look and thought the granny looked fabulous as she resembled the late Connie Chiume.

Other people thought the granny looked better natural as the young makeup artist fumbled her look with cosmetics. Labulabu captioned her now-viral clip:

“Let’s do makeup with affordable products.”
