Unveiling Of The Makeup Artist Guild of Nigeria #MAGN

Hey Pretties,

So something huge happened in the Nigerian Makeup Industry on Wednesday, the 11th of March, 2015 & i'm delighted to bring this news to you as i've been challenged with my blogging & sometimes i get information late because my other activities.

We experienced a quantum leap in the makeup industry , it was the unveiling of guild governors of the of the Makeup Artist Guild of Nigeria #MAGN.

Now, for so long, the makeup Industry has been without a regulatory body & i'm sure the pros of having one outweigh the cons in so many ramifications. Maybe now, many will begin to respect the profession of Makeup Artistry & Beauty as a whole.

MAGN is Nigeria’s makeup and beauty industry association that will bring passionate beauty forward professionals together.

The mission in plain English is to establish, promote integrity and raise high standards within our industry through the active participation of our members by offering a suite of benefits that will enhance their various enterprise.

The need for standardization and raising the bar arose as the industry began to experience a great number of makeup artists and also the sudden interest of international brands plying their trade in Nigeria, has necessitated the very crucial need for this institution. 

Professionalism, ethics of the trades and other very important tenets are needed to sustain the credibility and respect in the global market.

MAGN ‘s mandate is to be an active authoritative voice promoting integrity and high standards within the beauty industry.

The Governors Nominated selected based on a number of criteria are: Tara Fela-Durotoye, Banke Meshida Lawal, Bolanle Okusanya Feyita ,Eni Balogun, Yewande Peregrino, Lolade Ogunjimi, Bunmi Oyeniyi ,Kemi Imevbore Uwaga, Olusegun Hakeem ,Bimpe Onakoya and Ebele Ugochukwu.

They will serve as expert spokespeople to the Guild, they will also ensure the Guild remains relevant with the needs of its Executives and the industry at large .As advisers to the executives of the guild, they will provide support, inspire and motivate MAGN members.

After a year,an executive body will come on board who will run the affairs of the guild, they will be nominated and voted for publicly (the Governors are not part of the executives).

A few witnesses were invited to be part of the guild governors unveiling:

My Distinct Vendor Feature

Hey Pretties,

For those active on Instagram, you would have come across a Vendor Referral account called DISTINCT VENDORS run by the acutely intelligent lady called Ireoluwa Sanni Onunwa, who i so admire & coincidentally happens to be a SitPretty Beauty Bride,yay!!! 

The distinct Vendors page features a myriad of talented & hardworking wedding industry vendors who she reviews for your pleasure from the angle of once being a bride & the challenges she faced from every vendor she hired.

So a few weeks back,i was featured on her blog, it was shocking as i couldn't remember when i granted the interview. This is why we should be careful to always say the truth hahaha.
 

Here is a link to the interview i granted her,Enjoy:

Birthday Photoshoot

Hey Pretties,

so yesterday, an old friend of mine Aderinola came to our Lekki Studio to have her makeup & photos taken for her birthday.

Now normally, Derin refers to herself as a tomboy & asides on her wedding day, she rarely wears a full face of makeup.

So i knew it wouldn't do her justice to go overboard on her face, otherwise she had threatened to wipe it all off.

So complimenting her bright red dress, i gave her a pop of color on her lips & she was a hit with my camera.

Enjoy the pictures

SitPretty Beauty Of The Day !!

Thank you Abbiee for always choosing SitPretty Beauty

Recreate This Look : Lazy Bones!!

Hey Pretties,

Anyone who rolls with me knows this quote : '' It's not everything you know about Makeup that you should apply on your face at every opportunity '' .

What i mean by that is that sometimes, you need to go out in a hurry and you don't have time for proper eyeshadow blending or are just clueless about what colors to put together. At the end of the day, you end up with wrongly applied foundation, eyeshadow looking like you just walked off the Ru Paul's DragRace, Eyebrows like toothpicks & lips like you just got bitch slapped (i'm funny, i know :-D)

So i decided to create this simple look ( i believe so ) on an Intern of mine,Doni, that i believe anyone can rock.

 On Her Face :

- Foundation : MaryKay Medium Coverage Foundation 

- Concealer : MaryKay & Mac Studio Finish Concealers

- Powder : Zaron Mattifying Pressed Powders

- Blush : MaryKay #Bloom, Bm Pro #Eggplant & #Phlox 

- Bronzer : Zaron Contour Palette



On Her Eyes :  

- I started off by filling in her Brows with an Indigenous Brow Gel ( Review Coming Soon ) & then cleaned it up with Mac's Studio Finish Concealer & a frosty eyeshadow 

- I then lined her eyes with #Maybelline Colossal Kajal,
#Zaron's Black Velvet EyePencil, topped off with #BlackRadiance Liquid Eyeliner

- I used MaryKay's LashLove Mascara on her top & bottom Lashes, topped off with Brandless Lashes (Available in The Studio)

- Then, with a large eyeshadow blending Brush, i applied a matte brown shadow in the Crease of her eye.




On Her Lips :

- I started off by lining her lips & creating a Cupid's Bow where she lacks one using #Mac's Nightmoth Lip Pencil

- I went further by applying Maybelline's Lipstick in Coral in the center of her lips & then applied over it #Mac's Discontinued Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick ( which is a lovely cool lilac shade ) & then blended all the products into one another, topped off with clear gloss.

You know i always love to get feedback, so please try out variations of this look and send me pictures to my email : sitpretty412@yahoo.com

I would love to show you guys off *wide grin*
