“I love this; it’s absolutely gorgeous!”
Deola Aina is a makeup artist and photographer. She’s also a wife of a popular Nigerian Ace Film Maker Director Mattmax. Over the years, Awele Aina has trained over 5,000 students through her master class, monthly class, one on one class and brush up classes in almost every major city in Nigeria.
In this interview, Deola Aina talked about her journey so far as a Nigerian makeup artist, work challenges, as well as common mistakes Nigeria make-up artists make.I started makeup professionally in 2012. Since the age of fifteen, my passion and enthusiasm for makeup started, I’m always asking my mum about makeup, what it was and what each thing does.
Truth be told, my first job after graduating from makeup school earned me four students because it was a beauty contest. Four of the contestant learned makeup from me. Even before then I remembered I did makeup for Nancy Isime. She happily said I was the first makeup artist that got her foundation shade right. “This is me! I love this; it’s absolutely gorgeous!” That was her remark. So this is not about me not knowing my job, I don’t even know what went wrong that day.
I would say I’m an organised person. I plan and organise my routines. Needless to say, I have tutored a lot of students in the past. They have mastered my work ethics which makes life a lot easier for me in this aspect.Pursue passion first before anything, with passion comes success. Being a makeup artist is not as easy as it looks on social media. It takes determination, research, understanding of beauty and people. If you are going to do it, then invest in it wholeheartedly. Go for a course.
