In celebrating Nandi Mngoma’s birthday, we share our 10 favourite things about the songstress.
Nandi as a child
While some people’s beauty is like wine and only gets better with age, Nandi has always been a beautiful girl.
Bald, bold move
Chiskop, as we all know, is a hair trend that only a handful of ladies can pull off CORRECTLY and Nandi hit that nail on the head when she had it. She looked absolutely gorgeous; we are indeed jealous.
BFF
Whether it’s true or not, we all think our best friend is beautiful and Nandi’s BFF takes the crown. Noni Gasa, known for her beautiful freckles, is one of our country’s gems.
Brows on FLEEK
We are yet to see Nandi with bad eyebrows. We all need to perfect our brows like hers, filled, brushed neatly and finished off with a slight highlight.
Lashes
Your lashes can either make or break your eye make-up, and this lady knows how to add length and volume to hers.
Nailed it
Nandi’s nails are always done and she is definitely a square-shaped lady as we have never seen her with round or stiletto. She is clearly a #ManicureMonday lady.
Natural glow
She has perfected her glow make-up with natural shades. Get the look by applying a bronze or gold shade of eye shadow and darken the corners of your eye with a tint of black. A natural matte lipstick or clear gloss, highlighted cheeks and mascara will complete the look.
Pink panther
We love how Nandi paired a pink ombré eye with a pink lip. Pairing your eyes and lips with the same shade is a bold move because the bright shades could give you a clown finish. Keep your cheeks natural when wearing a bright eye and lip.
Hair
Hair and beauty are always evolving, and Nandi went old school with high ponytail straight-up cornrows. Put beads at the end of the cornrows to add character to the hair.
Trendsetter
As if her natural hair being the talk of the town wasn’t good enough, when Nandi had the high cut with a side line, everyone followed this trend. She is definitely a trendsetter, and not follower. Happy birthday Nandi Mngoma
