BRIDAL FEATURE: MAYOKUN

Hello beautiful people,
Thank you for constantly staying glued to my page. Its highly appreciated. God bless you. Before I proceed, can I quickly say this prayer?

"O God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, please allow my future brides be as charming, sweet, polite and beautiful as Mayokun, Amen".

Last weekend, I had the opportunity of doing Mayokun's Engagement and White Wedding makeup. Even though we never had a formal trial session, I knew it wasn't an excuse not to make her look extremely beautiful. These days, I think my brides believe me so much. I just send my portfolio and they aren't so pumped about trial sessions. Can only be God *smiles*.

Have I officially told you I have started "bridal hair styling"? Oops, My bad. I'll make a post featuring my various hair styles soon.

BTW, I think I have become a better amateur photographer. All pictures featured here were taken by me. You are eager to see them right? Enjoy!

BRIDAL FEATURE: OPEYEMI

Hello beautiful people. I'm pretty sure everyone's up to one great stuff or the other. God bless us all.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of working with beautiful Opeyemi in far away Abeokuta and though I had neither met nor spoken with her, I was determined to give my best shot all through.

The pictures below should do the rest of the talking. Check them out :)

I'M STILL HERE SWEETIES + BRIDAL FEATURE: MAMA TEE


Hello beautiful people :)
Allow me rant a bit before I serve you what's new.

Do you know beauty makeup has gone waaaaaaay beyond just concealing the under of your brows and applying your favorite lippie. There really is more to learn. Understanding colour theory, Highlighting(not just some shiny stuff on your nose oh), Contouring and so much more. I have been reading a lot on these topics and I hope to share the things I have learned with you soon. 

Well, well!!!
The past weekend had me really busy helping out at my darling sister's wedding; especially sorting last minute IV's and of course makeup. Left to me, I'll write a book detailing the entire experience, starting with how my back nearly broke from doing loads of faces to how I earned the name " Madam Fighter"....all thanks to my dear friend, Zainab.

Regardless, it was a lovely weekend and I had loads of fun. Check out some of the faces I made :)

The beautiful bride has really hooded eyes. I had her look down to capture this shot :)

I created this look sometime in December as a trial. She absolutely loved it but wanted something not too conventional, hence we went for the soft smokey look instead.



I totally love weddings ( or maybe I just love love), lol. Here's wishing the couple a blissful and prosperous union.

WHO IS IN THE GARDEN

" Who is in the garden,
      A little fine girl,
          Can I come and see her?
                No, no.....Pay her Make up Artist first"


Hi people,
Trust you are all well and many thanks for visiting my page regularly.

Again, I have been busy with my numerous brushes and products and this particular makeover was quite challenging because the client involved is a professional makeup artist herself, *Wheewww*. She knew everyyythingggg! Anyway, I am glad I did not shy away from the challenge and I honestly pray for more of such opportunities in the near future. It just might be Pat Mcgrath next time.
I am happy with the way the look turned (although there's room for improvement), and she absolutely loved it too.

Enjoy the pictures and hope you love them as much as we do.

All done :)








Who is in the garden, lol



Have a beautiful week.

BE ENCOURAGED :)

Hi beautiful people *waves* :)
Many thanks for checking my posts from time to time, and to those who have recently 'Liked' my facebook page.....Thank you! Mmmwuuaaah!

Oooookay! Consider these three pictures! Same model, three pictures.

Good Lord! I remember I did this makeup in 2008. Yes! I take responsibility for   creating this very horrendous look. Funny thing is I felt as good as Pat Mcgrath after doing it. Everyone hailed me and I remember the model earned the name "Suzzie" afterwards. Lol. Now, all i can say is......Horrendous much!


This was done while I was training at the London School of Makeup and Beauty in 2011.   I was still not satisfied with my abilities and I yearned to know more each day.




Finally, I did this in August 2012, and even though I knew I could do better, I was impressed with the improvements I had made so far.

So, what's my point exactly? We all pray to attain great heights, but we also have to start from somewhere.  No matter the field you want to explore, you can become a guru at it as long as you believe God and are determined.

I am looking to create more looks on this beautiful model and I am excited in advance about how they'll turn. Of course I'll keep you posted.

Have a beautiful day.

Your Beauty Bestie,
Eniola

BRIDAL MAKEOVER: OYINDAMOLA


Hi guys :)

Trust you are all well. I ammmmm! Its great to be alive at this time and I pray for more of God's blessings now and for ever.

Hmmmnnn, beautiful Oyindamola...where do I start this tale?

Okay! Three days to Oyin's wedding, she sent me a series of BBM's and here's the summary of what she said "Babes, I had a dream you came late to do my wedding makeup, better don't let this dream come to pass, otherwise, I will curse you". My colleagues can testify the last thing you want to do to a bride is come late for her wedding (You'll definitely see the bridezilla in her).
Fast forward to Saturday the 19th! Of course I did not want her dream to come to pass, I got to her house at 5. 50 am since she had earlier told me the engagement was to begin at 7.00 and the story continues.....................
I know you are tired of my ranting. Here are a few pictures below.



Don't you just love her gorgeous smile :)











I had a lovely time at the wedding and of course, it was great to see Pearl and Olamide from high school again. Here's wishing Mr and Mrs Akinwole a blissful and fruitful union.
