Describe a typical workday for you? 

A typical working day for Me starts  very early in the morning cuz my major working environment is school and most students prefer a makeover on Sundays or for dinners and even concerts then I'll start late in the afternoon . A max of 9- 10 make overs and I'm done for the day. Which could pull in about 25,000 at the rate of 2,500 per client.

Why did you chose make up?
I believe in creativity
And it's my passion to make myself and  people up, I feel very happy and accomplished once I'm done. Someone once said "if you find a job u love, you will never work a day in ur life" so for me that's exactly it...I feel I practically get paid for doing what I simply love to do and I'm good at.

In a month i have made about 55,000.

Whats the biggest challenge make up artist face?
I've had to  make up a bride for her white wedding  (gosh I was super nervous cuz it was my first time).
And a major challenge for every other face is simply for my client to be super cooperative and stay still during the whole process and for me avoiding not setting a make over right which could lead to a fall out😱 #every girls nightmare.

How do you prepare Dry and Oily skin for foundation make up application?

For a dry skin I moisturize then end with a luminous Finnish
And for an oily skin i exfoliate then work towards a matte finnish

How often do you clean your make up tools?

Very often, After every single use I sanitize them with alcohol and after a whole session I soke them in warm water and disinfectant before washing with a sulphate free shampoo. Then I wipe them with a napkin and leave to dry, then polish them with a little coconut or olive oil.

How do you start a makeup routine on someone?
I first find out what kind of skin my client has, ranging from dry, oily, normal or even combination skin which is a combination of dry and oily skin, often In the form of dry face oily nose.
After figuring that out, i kick off from there with the look my client desires, to picking the right foundation, shade and so on.

Do you have a team you work with?
No I don't, my make up business is quite new and I intend on running a sole enterprise

Wizkid / wandeCole.

Single.

Whats next for you?
Looking forward to expanding my brand #glitzbyibkay and  getting my own camera and ring light ( i desperately need those) ,working towards more items getting customized with my brand name.
I also plan to having a summer make-up give away on Instagram. And hopefully my clients simply let me give them the glitz they deserve while letting me just do what I love all the same.
