DJBADS: Awele Aina Intends To Launch Her Own Cosmetics Line

Awele believes — being a skin architect means being an artist who plans, designs and approaches makeup with clear intention.

And indeed, professionalism requires understanding how to design looks for all skin tones and types strategically.

With an eye for subtle makeup detail and an alluring countenance, Awele Aina started her career in 2013 and has since become one of the most sought – out makeup artistes in the Nigerian fashion and entertainment industry.

The self made entrepreneur has a diverse international portfolio – working on the set of local and international A list music videos directors, editorial spreads, Ay Live concert, Ovation Carol concert, fashion events, documentary and T.V commercials.

Awele Aina’s work can be seen in Giovanna Magazine, Ovation Magazine, Tush Magazine, Genevieve Magazine, Bella Naija, Dynamic magazine and most of  the music videos you watch on your tv. Awele’s sound knowledge of the Cosmetics industry coupled with an understanding of skin tones and ethnicity are attributes that have taken her across the globe from United Kingdom, France to United State of America. She stays on top of makeup trends and admire’s the work of celebrity makeup artist Bimpe Onakoya, Danessa  Myricks, Stephen Moleskin, Sam Fine and Scott Barnes.

In her words she said. “I listen, because my job is to achieve the look you have always dreamed of for your music video. After 7 years in business and more than 1,000 music videos, I still get excited whenever I am on set, and that’s is why I approach every music video set with the individual care, enthusiasm, and personal attention an artist deserve on the day we are making their video. My philosophy as an artist is to create a warm, natural makeup by using a palette of colors and textures that complements your unique skin tone, complexion and facial structure. Using only the finest product. I work to accentuate your most beautiful features, always avoiding an overly makeup look.
