MAKE-ME-LIKE: OMOTOLA

Hi guys! How is it going?

Today's post is a MAKE-ME-LIKE post! And I was inspired by this simple yet beautiful eye makeup on Omotola-Jalade-Ekeinde. For those who do not know, Omotola or Omosexy is a screen goddess and an A-list actress in Nigeria, and the whole of Africa. Time magazine currently listed her under 100 most powerful people!



Her makeup here was done by Bimpe Onakoya! I wish you could see me bowing to greatness! Most of you might not know her, as she isn't your regular "bridal"makeup artist..I don't know how to put it. I used to stalk her work then in True Love magazine...and I was always inspired!
Now this one is a MATURE makeup artist ( for mashure minds...like my friend, osas will say). how do you know mature, exceptional make up artists?? for me, NOTHING IS FORCED! Not forcing someone who has flat eyebrows to have angled eyebrow dandan! Not doing contour on a face that isn't necessary....I don't know if you get me, but she is divine and her work is flawless. "Stop the rant", I hear you say..OK!! let us move on...




This is a classic smokey look! Notice that the eyeshadows are so well blended, you can't see where each color starts or ends...love it! This is not a flag look! The highlight on her nose is amazing!..it is there, but you might not notice if you do not look well! Brows are not overdone, lips are nude, everything is just on point ah!

Well this is what I came up with *closing my eyes*

I can't believe i haven't put this up on the blog. I wrote an article for the latest edition of YNaija about makeup and their expiry dates ..it is the edition with Omowunmi Akinifesi as cover girl. i'm not sure if it is the newest edition, but you would sure enjoy that article. Most people do not know that makeup expires, but it does! That might be the reason your mascara has that fish smell and why your eyes water when you use it! Grab your copy!
