Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31163, member: 636"] Beauty talk has changed a lot lately. Men care more about how they look these days, breaking old rules about what makes someone manly. Big stars like Timothee Chalamet and Harry Styles lead this change with bold clothes and skin care that goes against old ideas. Styles once said clothes show who you are, which rings true as men find themselves through how they look and act. Women everywhere rush to buy beauty products more than ever before, pushed by social media and wanting to show who they are. Apps like TikTok make this even bigger by sharing beauty tricks that make many people try new products. Owen Magengezha stands out in this scene, grabbing people's eyes with his fresh take on looking good. Owen runs popular TikTok videos and started Owen's Beauty Studio, creating buzz among young people who want to change beauty rules. The Saturday Herald talked with Owen, who, at 24, leads this movement in Zimbabwe. He built a place where beauty fans can find great products and personal help. Growing up in Zimbabwe, Owen first sold perfumes as a small job. He says beauty found him before he knew it, starting small, but teaching him beauty helps people feel sure of themselves. This made him want to create a space where buyers could not only shop but also get expert advice just for them. He felt pushed by both life events and his love for beauty work. He always liked jobs that help people feel strong, and beauty changes lives more than most. He saw a gap where stores sold things but gave no real advice or a nice shopping experience. He wanted to change this by creating places where people get personal skin advice from trained helpers. A big problem Owen faces comes from teaching customers how to pick the right stuff for their skin. Many people feel lost with all the choices and struggle to find what works. That's why his stores focus on giving expert help. His trained beauty team gives personal advice based on skin type and what each person needs. This focus on teaching makes beauty less confusing. People leave his store with both products and new faith in their skin knowledge. Owen knows beauty trends change fast, and customer wants keep growing. He stays ahead by studying and testing new products, making sure his stores offer fresh ideas for all his different customers. Owen says he doesn't just stock items but learns about what goes in each one and how they work. Quality matters most to him. This care makes Owen's Beauty Studio better than regular beauty stores, which often care more about sales than real customer help. His biggest challenge remains teaching people about the right skin products. Owen finds ideas from role models he follows online, mostly Nigerian artists. He thinks Nigerians create the most fresh, real stuff on the continent and loves how talented and hard-working they are. People like Oke Maduewesi, Adeola Adeyemi, and Jackie Aina push him to try harder and aim high in his business. As more people start skin care habits, Owen tries to welcome everyone to explore beauty options. He fights the old idea that skin care only belongs to women, saying skin has no gender. Taking care of your skin isn't just fancy but helps everyone feel better about themselves. We see this growing trend in popular beauty brands and more people asking for expert store advice. Owen wants to do more than local business. He dreams of working with famous beauty and entertainment people to change beauty standards across Africa. He partners with Jacque Mgido, a makeup artist from the USA, to bring top makeup to Zimbabwe. By working with big names, he connects local buyers with world beauty trends. Shopping at Owen's store offers clear benefits. Each product passes strict quality checks. Owen makes sure to find safe, top ingredients that his customers can trust. Whether someone has pimples or dark spots or just wants to glow, he promises something will work for them. As beauty and fashion mix more, Owen's style shows his beliefs. He dresses boldly yet easily, believing fashion should show your true self. Beauty and fashion go together in his mind. He stays comfortable but true to himself. Many people share this feeling as they find who they are through how they look. These days, Owen proves that change brings power. His path shows how beauty boosts confidence and shapes who we are. As people keep changing and trying new beauty things, Owen's dream of a place where everyone feels good stays important. He inspires new groups to celebrate being different with pride. He says they're not just selling things but building a group where everyone matters. Owen gives simple advice: skin care equals self-care, stay consistent, use fewer products, be confident, and remember that skin has no gender. [/QUOTE]
