The rate at which everybody's turning a make-up artist is nw very alarming!I was going through an individual's work who calls herself a make up artist and I discovered there's no difference btw herslf and sum1 who's a novice in make up and I said 2myslf"Is she serious abt calling herslf a make-up artist"?!As a professional make-up artist,der r so many thgs dat shud distinguish u frm a novice and sum of des thgs are:1.the brows must be well-defined!suffice it 2 say dat dey must be standing out(any1 who sees it frm afar shud b able 2say"wow"dis is professional).2.the eyeshadow application must also b professional,shudnt look lyk it was applied by a novice.3.foundation blending is vry important!.4.blush must applied at d rite places.5.lipstick application shud also b professional!....if u can get des few sthgs done,I dnt tink sum1 shud comtemplate ur professionalism wen he/she sees ur wrk whether u've got a make-up on u or not!

It's cool and impressive that so many ladies are MUA but its also funny

Frankly, I think Nigerians, today:

1 Wear too much make up
2 Have no understanding of the difference between daytime and night time / camera lights makeup

Perhaps the professional Artists could educate the public on this distinction?

^^ i absolutely agree with yhu. I see some ladies and am wondering what paint factory they are advertising for even some of the so called self styled make up artist

LOL. It's called hustling. Whatever works for people.

What I don't understand is the new trend of wanting to make everybody light-skinned. The face is always lighter than the rest of the body.

For me, beauty is one of the most important things for girls and boys. I buy some makeup products from the same make up factory . The prices of the goods are not as expensive as in other stores. I especially liked the shadows. Recently I had large pimples on my chest that did not go away on their own, and then my sister advised me to use their foundation. Now I use it and do not feel any discomfort.
