On episode 2 of Binging with GameChangers, professional makeup artist and entrepreneur, Banke Meshida-Lawal, reveals what it takes to turn one’s passion into a profitable business.
From her keen interest in fine art at a young age, to waking up at 5.30am to start her makeup for a 9 am class, to her obsession with buying new makeup products and also exploring her innate passion for makeup artistry as an undergraduate, to establishing her business, Banke takes us on an exhilarating ride through her career trajectory.
Today, Banke is one of Nigeria’s most sought after professional makeup artists, especially in the bridal sphere.
