OJULOGE TAKES MAKEUP TO THE NEXT LEVEL; PIONEERING AIRBRUSH MAKEUP

Spread the love



Airbrush Makeup is the High definition technology in Makeup Artistry which has improved from time-to-time. Unlike traditional makeup (where you rub into your skin), airbrushing sprays a fine mist of special light water-based foundation on you, so the makeup “sits evenly” on your skin.

Although the Airbrushing is not a new invention however in Nigeria, not much is known of this ‘wonder of Makeup technology’ called Airbrushing in Nigeria, hence OJULOGE is proud to be the pioneer of this great technology in Nigeria.

Ojuloge Arts Beauty World is a Makeover, Beauty and Event Management Company, with core competence in skill acquisition and youth development. Ponmile Funsho-Adebayo, the CEO of Ojuloge Arts Beauty World commenced her makeover operation in 2008 and has been consistent since then.

And according to Ponmile, her quest for the best when it comes to fashion and makeup made her to go learn the arts and skills in Airbrushing.

“As an artist, my first encounter with Airbrush was at the University of Ife in the year 1995, when one of my senior colleagues (now a lecturer) in the Fine Arts Department used it to make customized cards used to make different stencils and sprayed inks on the cards. My love for this ART made me attach myself to this senior colleague, and who informally enrolled me as an apprentice under him, using Airbrush gun to make cards, wall papers, temporary tattoos etc. And we did make a lot of money…LOL!

However, my quest for the best when it comes to fashion and Makeup, and especially Airbrush makeup made me go for many international trainings in the USA to learn the Arts and Skill in Airbrushing. Some of the places where I have learnt Airbrushing Makeup in the USA are AirMakeup in Blackwood New Jersey and Divine Creations (Makeup & Hair) in Maryland USA.

My dream is to take the Nigerian Home videos to the international standard in the aspect of Makeup, and this is one step towards that. It hurts me when I see a good script, good directors and cast, but bad costume and Makeup to reflect and translate the script. My dream is to bring this to reality…making Nollywood stand out in the international market in Makeup and Costume”.

Airbrushing is used for regular makeup e.g. Bridal Makeup, Theatrical makeup (Creating Creatures, monsters, forms etc), prosthetic makeup, Fantasy makeup for fashion shows etc, temporary tattoo making, face and body painting etc. The use of this technique is endless.

  1. Bola this info is so wrong. Airbrushing is not new in Naija at all. I know for a fact that at least 2 years ago, Banke Meshida used this technique. I cannot speak for other make up artists, but I know that this is NOT new in the country.

  2. Thanks Kemi, a one-on-one interview with Ojuloge will also be posted on this blog soon. And she will explain in full details. Thank u

  3. You ought to be a part of a contest for one of the finest sites
