Makeup no fit do the trick na. Na only my baby tiwa savage I know makeup makes her an angel. Oh tiwa I long for your love *day dreaming* oops *night dreaming*

Mr..Cork:




madam Angel love.. y u complaining?... are u ugly?

Love angel: Why do Nigerian makeup artists charge so much? Just came across one and she said she'll do a wedding makeup for 200,000, I mean that's too expensive and most people complain about how rude and mean they could be. I really wanna know, why so expensive?

acidtalk:

Even if the whole Atlantic Ocean na Mary Kay power and the Entire tress for naija na painting brush, if dem use am for you na still waste. Your worworness no get solution. So crawl back to your cage.

Reese1: It's because of Naija mentality...if we don't hear a big price, we think it's an inferior product.

But if anyone needs a great makeup artist, I can recommend one 1000%. She is very affordable and did my wedding makeup a couple of months ago.

acidtalk: If you can't afford it, stick to idi-agbon, tiro, vaselline, and palm kernnel oil.

Red-Light:
200k? is that for year make up or just once

ehie007: Th
Nigerians want good jobs but dont want to pay for it. Those who pay little are the most worrisome..This also applies to us into wedding photography....they want good shot but dnt want to pay for it....

Sisi_Kill: 200k??!!

What happened to white Powder, Tiro/Kwallii and Vaseline?

quin9: They won't be in business if people aren't paying,neither wld they charge that much if their clients av not been up to it,most of these peeps go abroad to get certified,and diz is Naija where there is a lot of money to throw around,where we spend heavily on parties,its not only makeup that is expensive EVERYTHING is.
As for being rude,YES most of them are,but sometimes people are really annoying,the bride has made her specification,had a trial nd all nd on that day d SU anty comes in saying"u don't need diz,d lips it too red,clean it nd use only gloss don't let d eyeshadow show(d bride is like don't mind her,till an arguement ensues or som1 cries),d church will diz d elders will dat blah bla bla...anoda 1 comes saying am d elder sis so"u'll makeup nd tye my gele shogbo?(Free oh!),jus then anoda 1 comes picks ur lipstick and apply straight on her lip!(No permission).In diz trade u need REAL patience,which a lot of people don't av.

Onegai: Hmm, let's try thinking of this:

You train as a makeup artist. Most in Nigeria aren't well-trained, but pay minimum of N70,000 for bad training. Then buying your products (you have to have foundation to match any complexion, that's a minimum of N12,000 for 8 tubes, and then Mary Kay isn't that good, so to do a good job, you have to buy Black Up which is N10,000 a bottle. There's too much fake Iman on the market sold for N4500 per bottle). Then add in eyeshadows, a palette can be N8500 and that is the crap chinese stuff that irritates. So you spend minimum of N25,000 for more chinese stuff of slightly better quality. False lashes are N800 per packet (the good stuff which isn't heavy on the eye). We won't mention powders, blushes mascara, primers and skincare for all types of skins and complexions. Remember, all these products finish and expire, so they need replacement.
Then transport to the bride's house, first for trial and then for engagement and another day, white wedding, no matter how early or late the time. So that's usually cab fare. Calculate N3000 per trip.
Also, naija brides can waste time, so you can't do 2 weddings in one day. And then you have to wait for their mum, sisters or friends who want free makeup (as if you have products to dash).
You may say "oh well, why should I still pay so much?". Let me ask you this: which do you think you will use to remember your wedding, your menu, your hall venue or your pictures? And if it's pictures, do you wanna look your best in your pictures or do you want to look like your short-sighted sister did your makeup without her glasses? Why pay a photographer N150,000 when you look like a masquerade because you paid your MUA N40,000 for her wahala?
What do you think?
