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. Continue...
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.”

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 5th
to 19th 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.
