Chioma of TopNotch Makeovers worked with the finest photographers to create these opulent makeup looks to inspire brides-to-be.
“In recent times, fashion has been twisted and styled differently for more attraction and opulent outlook, which inspired me to create this colorful and edgy makeup looks to grace the monotonous and ritzy bridal outfits characterized by modern brides. The aim of this shoot is to showcase the rich culture of the three major tribes (Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba) in Nigeria as evidently seen during their matrimonial festivities.
Hausa
The Hausas, though classy, are also known for their modest looks and attires. Despite the growing and unusual fashion trends, this group has managed to succumb to a change of taste without losing the key ingredient of tradition – modesty. For this look, I used Anastasia liquid lipstick ‘pure hollywood’, NYX lip gloss ‘bronze’ on her lips and Urban decay vice3 eyeshadow palette for that smoky effect on her eyes.
Igbo
The Igbo bride who would prefer a twist to their attire. Instead of the George tube or wrapper, they may opt for a cord lace and a stylish beaded bun hair for a change. For this look I created a winged liner with short strokes using Inglot gel liner No 77, lancome blue pencil for a smash of blue on the waterline and Mac Ruby Woo, dose of colors lipstick love potion, NYX jumbo pencil in milk and lime crime red velvet liquid lipstick for ombre lips.”
