MARVELLOUS MAKEOVER

 I am always searching for a model to transform. There is nothing like taking a blank canvass and painting on different hues till you achieve perfection.
Marvellous is such a blank canvass, I love her facial structure and the ease with which it can be transformed with few strokes of the brush.

Below I present the transition of marvellous, my student, intern and model.


we started from this point
obvious discolouration around the nose and eyes

1. BRIGHT LOOK: 

Perfect for photo-shoot, runway and editorial.





2. CUT CREASE, BRONZE, NUDE AND BROWN.

CUT CREASE changed to purple and lashes added.

 3. SOFT BRIDAL LOOK

Perfect for white wedding with a pop of blue eye liner and Lip in soft ombre pink and kept matte, it could also be glossed for light shine.

E.L.C- CORRUPTION FREE LEADERSHIP

As a make-up artist , presenter and progressive Nigerian youth - INFORMATION is KEY. I do not take any opportunity to learn for granted. So when the Excellence in Leadership Conference came this year with the theme Corruption Free Leadership i decided i must attend and am happy i did.

Today is just the first day and i am overwhelmed by height the knowledge i downloaded. Am going to share some the point i was able to jot down.


From Fela Durotoye: in no particular order here are some points

  • stay on your field keep doing what you were created to do excellently and your field will link you up to all that you need materially and people you need to meet physically.
  • Your gift is taking you somewhere special, keep at it and you will get there.
  • Do not be selfish about pursuing your success alone because you can not succeed out of a failed state. Focus on building the people around and your community at large -  only then will you experience true success. 
  • the value you command is tied to the vacuum your absence creates. 
  • Your value increases according to your values.
FELA DUROTOYE

10 point:
  1. Make a positive impact on everyone you meet and everywhere you go. 
  2. Be a solution provider not a part of the problem.
  3. Be a role model worthy of emulation.
  4. Be your best in all you do particularly what you are good at. To be great find what you are naturally good at and work hard at it. Talent - Personality - Passion
  5. Do the the right thing at all time regardless of whoever around you is doing wrong.
  6. Value time and make the best use of it.
  7. Care and show respect through your words and action.
  8. Consciously build a great legacy starting now, today and everyday.
  9. Live a life of integrity and honour.
  10. Make your family, your nation and your God proud. 
That is not all,we later moved on to Oby Ezekwesili who opened my eyes to the value of the public sector ( civil service) and our need as a people to engage our leaders. 
I really cant go into all that she said you need to buy the CD but i will just drop a few more point from her: 
OBIAGELI EZEKWESILI

  • Public sector should mobilise growth in the private and citizenship sector through proper System, Structure and Institution.
  • Public sector needs to recruit based on strong Character, Competence and Capacity.
With this few point of mine, i hope i was able to convey how blessed i have been by this conference and i will update on all other classes as it unfolds.
