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

    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.
