I saw her open her make up case - more like big box - and
proceed to start her work. I needed to be sure I was seeing things correctly. I
waited for some minutes until she moisturized her face and started applying the
makeup.
‘Are you
doing the makeup yourself?’ I asked incredulously.
She responded with a simple ‘Yes’.
I had never seen that done before. You see, Omoteseh Afolabi was to be married that
day; SHE WAS THE BRIDE!
Anyone who has been to a wedding knows that quiet brides
become bridezillas and the crazy ones just go bonkers! Not
Omoteseh though. She was a study in
quiet concentration! She applied her makeup like she was applying on anyone BUT
herself. If I wasn’t so shocked, I would have done the Nae Nae as I screamed, ‘You go girl!’
You see, Omoteseh
Afolabi is a makeup artist and owner of Noria Concept, Kaduna. Unlike most people, she actually set out to
try other makeup artists for her big day but they just didn’t seem to get it
right. It was after a badly done pre-wedding photo that she decided to do her
make up herself. She said and I quote, ‘Nobody
understands my face like I do’.
She not only did the makeup for the traditional wedding, she
also did it for her white wedding. While most brides would have been fidgeting and
anxious, she was impressively calm.
The makeup turned out flawless! She looked radiant and more
beautiful than ever! She practically glowed!
I decided I want her as my makeup artist on my special occasions
and maybe on my wedding; if I get married. LOL. (Don’t panic dear future
husband, I am just pulling your legs)
You see, a woman who can control her nerves on her big day
and still put out an awesome piece of art is a woman I would like to work with!
I also would like to recommend her to intending brides and women needing an artist for whatever
occasion they want to attend. Call her on 08067621177 to book an appointment.
I was more
impressed when I heard that she learned all she knows by investing in herself,
even when it was the hardest thing to do. She went hungry many times so she
could pay for courses and equip herself.
Learn from
this. You owe it to yourself to improve yourself at every point in your life!
