Redefining Nollywood Make-up

Professional makeup and beauty expert Vanessa Odofin has said that make up in Nollywood movies do not portray the characters suitably enough for the role they are playing. The makeup artists in the industry need to be professionally trained in order to step up their game.

The Nigerian-based make up and beauty expert who has trained over one thousand makeup artists in Nigeria and abroad, believes that a little more professionalism would go a long way in upgrading the standard of our makeup artists and in turn the project that they work on, to bring about a revolution in the Nigerian Film industry.

According to Vanessa Odofin “It is the job of a makeup artist to convey believability for instance in the transition of a teenager to an adult in a movie without changing the character and this is one area I believe our Nollywood practitioners can do better than what is obtainable right now, though there are some exceptions to the rule. We want to take makeup artistry to the next level, there is a lot to be achieved in the makeup industry and we want to redefine makeup.”

Her outfit Vanadale is organizing a training for makeup artists, upcoming makeup artists and all those who want to acquire expertise for personal use. The office is located at Ikeja in Lagos. The workshop will be coming up on the 5^th to 19^th of July. She said that the training is not just for Nollywood practitioners alone; individuals who want to know about makeup and those who want to turn makeup artistry into a full time job are also welcomed.

The training session would feature unique course outlines, free start up tools and professional brush sets, work tools and t-shirts, a syndicate session tagged “show me the cash (to outline how to make it in make-up industry).” 

Chief among those that Vanadale has worked with are Tuface, Monalisa Chinda and Mercy Johnson.
