that woman is good at what she is doin she is definately doin my wedding makeup i dont care ow much it costs.
Woo! Hoo! Finally! BM Pro is coming to Abuja! Can't wait. Also, congratulations on the Ikeja store opening!
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.
she is not the best there are other up coming artists that are better jor
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
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.
anon 1:40 PM yes u are so right, i know a couple of others that r good too, in her category maybe YES but other upcoming ones are so hot hot too....in btw my daughter is one hotty make up artist too *wink*
She might not be the best but give it to her, her PR is the best....
Big ups girl...
wat happened to Tara of house of Tara ke?
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?
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
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.
@ sakara pls send me your daghter's address
arrogant Banke.......let her know d younger ones r coming up wt a bang, hope r cliche clients never gets old, cause d up coming celebs r no for her
as big as she claims she is she still pays her staffs 15k,i wonder what tinuke is still doing with her gan
