I use to be very passionate about make-up and cosmetics so much, that I will stay awake practicing different types of make up blend at midnight, when everyone is asleep, it's just going to be me, my mirror and my phone, watching a YouTube tutorial all night.
The first time I attended a make up class was 2020, during COVID , I was really bored of sitting at home and doing the regular, so I decided to acquire makeup skill at the closest studio within my environment and that was where the passion started. I was so passionate, used every penny I had to purchase the products, approached every girl to be my model and every step of learning was done with so much passion, I loved how creative it made me feel, it was an art, it was about building confidence for ladies and making them look flawless.
When I went back to school, I will always use my pocket money to buy cosmetics, saved up to buy complete brushes and I was really good at it, showing my skills and getting customers wasn't an issue because I was in an environment full of young ladies
It really gave me extra money especially on days like matriculation in school, special events and many others.
I got referrals and also raised money to start up an online oil perfume brand from beautifying others.
I was so passionate about make-up that I went for an upgrade class in a different city without informing my parents, I took the risk because I knew my dad will not permit me to go far from school but then I had my dreams of running a studio after school and owning brands like Laura Ikeji and many other entrepreneur in the beauty world, my passion was just too much.
How I paused that passion is unknown to me, I really don't have an excuse, maybe I would have tried harder and put in more efforts in marketing my skill instead of blaming my current environment and backing off.
Although ,I tried marketing my skill but my environment wasn't encouraging and I moved onto the next opportunity life gave.
Moving from one job to another, focusing on what I knew people around me will appreciate more and other activities and schedules really made me forget I have an amazing skill.
When I go through my gallery and see my old works and how adorable they look, I just feel the need to move to a different environment and start over again.
It's never a goodbye, because I have my plans and when the time is right, I will go for another upgrade class, get better and expensive brushes and products.
I miss practicing makeup so much, I can't skip a make up tutorial I see anytime or anyday on the media.
Practicing makeup brings the best in me, it's being creative, making women more confident in their look.
It's a skill I love and still love, I can't wait to own a brand ,launch my brand and associates with people in the beauty industry in the future.
I didn't forget my passion and will never forget my passion, it's never a goodbye, it's just a temporal pause.
I'm just trying to set things in place and give it the best when I reopen that chapter again.
