How I created Lola Omotayo Okoye's wedding look - Banke Meshida

Written by make-up artist extraordinaire, Banke Meshida Lawal.
I met Lola Omotayo Okoye a few days before her wedding, after a trial had been scheduled by her planners. It went very well and fast forward to the day. Lola looked so happy and demure and her wedding portrait has gone on to be one of my most loved images by people hence the idea to create this video. I have been getting so many requests and questions on how to recreate the look as well as the products used. I hope you enjoy watching and can also pick up a few tips! See the video after the cut...

O.m.g she lOok ravishing!!! I love the hair,the false lashes,the lipsey and the eyebrow curve cox it really accentuates her cheekbones and am happy she dumped those her tiny wingless julia robert's eyebrow and the Victoria beckham's no smile signature that I hate with passion....... Would love to see stephni okereke's nuptial makeover, to me she still has the most uptown wedding moments... She initiated Dubai nuptial entourage and celeb klassicial wedding , others just followed suit.... #cheEzyjayne

Plus Lola is a really one lucky woman, she is 45yr old and still have no hair receeding lines, that kinda put younger women like Toke makinwa with papa ajasco bald hair to shame..... Good genes are good##cheEzyjayne

Awww Lola is like me lol. See the way she's asking make up questions. You'd think she knows about all that stuff already. She's so cute.

Anonymous said...

Also, I like the makeup artist. She seems so down-to-earth. Alot of women in her field try to come off as vivacious but she's calm and even seems somewhat shy? Really nice.

Anonymous said...

I like her hair, except for the visible hair pins. Too much makeup. She's naturally pretty.

Lola Omotayo is an extremely beautiful woman, so even basic makeup would still have made her look like an angel!

Gosh! did you guys see her picture without makeup?

Who says Lola is 45 yrs old? God forgive you....people just say absolute rubbish behind the computer....she is 40! And yes there is a bog difference!!!!

And I dare u post ur picture...any under 40 ...to challenge Lola's beauty....shio....
Lola is not a loud person...yet people continue to drag her into stupid conversations....she is an accomplished woman....a mother of 2...a well educated woman married to a very successful man.....

THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A TUTORIAL, INSTEAD OF SHOWING US WHAT SHE WAS DOING SHE WAS BUSY SHOWING HER OWN FACE. aLL WE SAW WAS THE END RESULT. PLS GO AND WATCH YOUTUBE N SEE HOW TO MAKE A PROPER TUTORIAL IF INDEED YOU REALLY WANT US TO LEARN WHAT U DID.HALF OF THE PRODUCT YOU USED WASNT EVEN STATED. NO STEP BY STEP OR AYTHING. OUTCOME WAS AMAZING, BUT THE PURPOSE WAS DEFEATED.

She is light skinned and Africans have been trained to worship light skin and hate their own ebony complexion. Notting against Lola o, but she has no real pretty features, round plumb face, no check bones, chinless wonder, . She's brave sha, showing her real age on camera. Caroline Danjuma is realy pretty not just becos of her complexion.

Anonymous said...

She's not 45 she's actually 40 ten. And linda were u get all these village commentators when never see fat Lebanese oyibo before.
