Hello guys, here is this week's creative mind - Nory, a MUA with class and sass. Follow her on this journey as she gives you a little peep into her world.
''My name is Nory, I've been a makeup artist for 3 years. I just started doing makeup one day, I guess. I've always had some interest in changing people's faces. I don't believe anyone needs a lot of makeup to look good, you just need to apply it right. I went to Unilag and studied Engineering (shocking, I know), but I've always been an artist (I paint). Makeup is about expression, a pink moist lip can tell the world that you feel girly and feminine that day, as a matte red lip shows your confident power.''
Hello guys, I hope we all had a fantastic week? I want to start by saying a big THANK YOU to all of you for stopping by, I really appreciate it; wouldn't be doing this if you weren't here. This was what I wore to work on Friday and I couldn't help but feel like a nomadic herdsman with a modern, girly twist in my ensemble. The only things missing were a long stick to hang my hands across and a wide straw hat, check on the pictures below :)
As I earlier mentioned in a post, I changed jobs and this new job requires us to be corporately dressed from Monday to Wednesday and then corporate-casual on Thursday, with Friday being the only day you can decide to wear what you like. In order to make my blog much more interesting and hopefully interactive, I have decided to do a style post every week detailing what I wore to work that week and where you are likely to get something similar if not the exact thing. I hope this comes in handy for you guys :)
Here is what I wore on Tuesday
Hello Lovelies, hope you all had a fruitful week? My week was all sorts of awesome; in my quest for a photographer to help me with my style posts on the blog, I was introduced to Busola, a fellow USS (Unilorin Secondary School) alumni. The first feeling I had was one of great relief even before meeting her at all, anyways, the meeting went fine and here is how she describes herself in her own words :)
Let me start off by apologising for the very long silence, there is really no excuse for that, but I would briefly like to state that it was due to the fact that I recently changed jobs. Do I hear congrats? Thanks. OK now that that is done, lets get back to where we are here - today's post.
I decided to start a segment that showcases people working in fashion; designers, stylists, make up artists, hair stylists, photographers, and the likes. I recently discovered that a lot of people don't really know what goes on behind the scenes in the fashion industry, and I have taken it upon myself to educate you in my own little way.
The first ever Creative Mind (as I want to call them on here) is Ijeoma Joy Ike, she's a fashion illustrator with quite a number of works credited to her. She is based in Lagos, and she studied law from the University of Jos, Nigeria. In her own words, this is how she describes what a fashion illustrator does " basically as a fashion illustrator, what I do is conceptualize designs and bring them out through art (sketches and colours), therefore an illustrator handles the creative part of fashion production".
