Honestly, Banke is good! I dare to say she is the best in this field IMO!! Anytime I see her work, I just know 'cos its always so well done.

its a good thing aunty banke is expanding but i want to use this opportunity to appeal to her to pls stop paying her workers peanuts she makes money so please encourage this people she pays 15k
God bless u,may you open more outlets amen,and seun and dupe are looking fab

CLF said...

IMO too, she's the best. I keep hearing there are others who are better than her but i don't see them/their work. She makes women look like Queens. If you have ever seen Bola Shagaya and Sade Okoya au natural, you will know that BM is a genius.

It's like comparing Giorgio Armani with Marc Jacobs. If you can afford GA why buy MJ even though MJ isn't exactly beans. They are both outstanding but even i'm sure MJ as the pupli will give GA as the don props anywhere. Again, just my opinion.

I HATE banke's personality...she is proud and irritaiting...dat has pushed me away from her...Tinuke is a lot better thank banke. Tinuke works for banke but Tinuke is better

Banke was one of the best, now she's not. The people who patronize her are in one circle.
New sets of celebrities don't patronize her. Morese, she's so puffed up! Abeke is better...

IS SHE OPENING A HAT STORE OR MAKE UP, WHY ARE THE ALL WEARING HATS?

Anonymous said...

All her brides look exactly the same... shouldn't she bring out each person's unique features? anyway what i do like about her work is even some wowo women look "lookable" once she is done

Veevee said...

Yes oh... All her brides look exactly alike,gold or bronze eye shadows. Abeg, she should concentrate more on being more creative and train more hands. All she does is do open biz rivalry.
