They believe that every woman is already beautiful and every woman can be even more beautiful.

Aside from your wardrobe, your hair, nails and makeup are three pillars of beauty. When your make-up is applied correctly, it enhances your own natural beauty and when done tastefully and skilfully along with your wardrobe, hair and nails, it reveals the competence, attention to detail, pride and sense of self which are the mark of a modern successful woman and that is where D.L makeover comes into play. A good appearance shows that you respect yourself and when people see that they feel respect for you too. Of course it is possible to respect yourself without making yourself look good, but when you take the trouble to fix yourself well, put on your make-up, that shows your respect for others and when you give respect, you get respect. Beauty is the secret weapon of success and the skillful application of make-up is the secret weapon of beauty.

When you look good, you feel good.
When you feel good, you look even better and then you can do ANYTHING.
Makeup has come to stay, wake up to makeup and discover the power of makeup.

Himba Girl


The beautiful Himba girl in the above picture is married as she is wearing ornaments on top of her braided hair. These ornaments, which young unmarried girls do not wear, identify her as being married.

Note also the ornaments around her neck and the conch shell that hangs above her breasts. The conch shell is only worn by married women and is a symbol of fertility.

In addition, they often wear a leather plate with metal studs that hangs down their backs.
Every morning, Himba girls start the day by covering themselves with a cream made out of butter fat, herbs, ash, and red ocher. The mixture offers some protection against the harsh desert sun, but its primary function is to tint the body a reddish-brown color which Himba girls and women find appealing.

In contrast to Himba girls and women, Himba men do not use the red ocher mixture and often wear western clothes.
