Being a makeup artist isn't the easiest of businesses to venture into especially in a country like ours and in a world where there’s so much competition, one has to move fast to keep up with trends and be near perfect... we are very much excited with our SPOT OF THE WEEK, the ever bubbly Titilayo Bello CEO/Creative Director at LARYOH’BELLZ Makeup Studio.
LEPOSHLOUNGE: Hi Titilayo, it’s a pleasure meeting you; Can
we get to know more about Laryoh Bellz?
LARYOH BELLZ: (Smiles) Nice meeting you too... Well,
LaryohBellz is a makeup outfit where we offer professional makeup services and training...LaryohBellz started out professionally in 2010, although I've been
doing some fake makeup before then (laughs) until I became a certified pro MUA
at the Lise beauty school.
LEPOSHLOUNGE: Family
& business comes with much pressure and challenges, how do you manage both?’
LARYOH BELLZ: Hmm... It really does come with pressure and challenges,
but where there's understanding the pressure lessens.
LPL: Has
it always been the beauty business for you and what was the inspiration?
LB:
I won't say it has always been the beauty business for me because I ve always
been a business minded person... My beauty inspiration came from a dear friend,
Ademilola we call her Lulu (God rest her soul in peace) she would bring out her
mum's makeup do our makeup and shape our eyebrows...that was how I started to
fall in love with makeup..
LPL: How
do you keep your skills aligned to what’s going on in the competitive makeup
industry?
LB:
For me, being focused is key, As much as there are lot of pro makeup artists;
there are also a lot of unprofessional ones... I like to do my things my own
way, again continuous learning always keeps one in track.
LPL: The
core of your work is training upcoming MUA’s, is this intentional?
LB: Yes and No... I like to inspire people. It
gives me joy to see people do what they love..I hate to see people doing
nothing when they can actually learn a trade.
LPL: How
would you define beauty?
LB:
Beauty!!! Beauty to me can't be defined for you...you are your own kind of
beauty because BEAUTY REALLY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER..
LPL: What is your favorite makeup trick?
LB: My favorite makeup trick is applying
concealer under the eye, it makes it look like you’ve done so much... It
automatically softens the look... it takes away whatever stress that was
there...
LPL: Tell us, best
part of your job?
LB: The best part of my job... The best part is
the joy of seeing my clients extremely happy and when my students/ex-students
doing well.
LPL: Your word for
aspiring Makeup Artist.
LB: My word for aspiring makeup artists...
first make sure it is what you really want to do, don't be in the business just because you think everyone is doing it and making money from it..perfect
your skills, be exposed, network and don't imitate!!!.
