The MORDERN NIGERIAN WOMAN

This is what happens when 3 creatives come together. Photographer extraordinaire Prince Meyson, Makeup Artist and Blogger Dodos for D’Artiste by Dodos and Beth Model Management collaborated on the Modern Nigerian Woman project.

Dodos created these makeup looks thinking of the modern Nigerian woman. She’s Simple, she’s Sophisticated, she’s Fierce and Confident. She rocks her Fro, her natural hair her braids her weaves, she’s very much must aware. Unlike her usual clean natural looks we decided to play with colours in this fun shoot.

There’s so much talent and in this shoot. The creatives featured a few Nigerian Brands like Zaron Cosmetics, Dapmod, Crotchet by Cece and more.

During a discussion with Dolapo Oni, Bolanle Olukanni and Michelle Dede on the Boy & Girl Talk Marriage section on Moments With Mo show, Big Brother star Uti Nwachukwu said the reason why he and most men can't marry women in the Nigerian entertainment industry is because the women sleep around with big men and they know it.
