PASSION OVER CASH

 Hi guys,

Over the last weekend, i had opportunity to do some makeover. At negotiation we couldn't reach an agreeable price and i was about to discard the entire deal but i analysed the opportunity as opposed to the monetary gain.

 I went for the the job and i made major connections that has brought spin-off jobs and it promises to bring more.

I am so excited about this and i wanted to share with you. It's not all about money, not the cash at hand but the opportunities that abound from each job. Give it your best, don't cut corners.

Enjoy more pictures

That is all for now.

 You know i love all, enjoy a great weekend.

XOXO

MAVELLOUS MAKEOVER ONCE AGAIN

I hooked up once again with my former intern and we created these looks. I haven't had the opportunity to to do actual editorial makeup before, so i challenged myself into creating these looks. Quite boring but i wanted to play it safe.
so here are the pictures......

SIMPLE 

 

 

SEMI - GOTHIC(lol)

GOTHIC

GENERALLY WE HAD FUN! hope to hook up with marvelous again soon, she is such a darling with beautiful facial structure.

HUNGER GAMES: Catching Fire...... THE MAKEUP

This movie was exciting but it let me down at the end, i guess they were going for that suspense end that will leave you panting for the next HUNGER GAMES but for me it was a huge let down. i felt so deflated because they ended the entire movie when things started getting interesting. 

Well one thing i wasn't disappointed about was the makeup,  i loved it all. 

SIMPLE, WILD, GOTHIC, AVANT GARDE,

They had it all and it was done superb, even on the men- for real!- it was awesome. all through the movie i kept exclaiming about the makeup.

Please leave the a comment if any of you loved the makeups on this movie so i wont feel like a weirdo gushing over nothing, anyway it was great.

You all know i love you.
XOXO

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.
