The Grey, White and Black Embellished Suits

Any of these three suits is perfect for an evening or black-tie event. Pair your grey, white or black embellished suit with a white shirt and red velvet bow tie.

By Pa mela Echemunor The Native and Vogue runway hairstyles were simple but chic. The Hair stylists included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Signatureâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make Meâ&#x20AC;? both very experienced hair stylists based in Lagos. They chose the classic ponytails, straight and the bun.

As for the makeup â&#x20AC;&#x153;Divine Looks Makeoversâ&#x20AC;? made the models look absolutely divine with emphasis on the lips. Below they speak on the make up and hair direction.

How long have you been into the make -up?

I have been doing this since 2000, so this will make it 14years.

What kind of make-up have you adopted for the show?

Well we are doing a lot of fresh looks and bronzing.

We have a lot of people showcasing girly designs so we want them to look young on the face, not overly stretched, even if the makeup is bold it will only be on the lips. The kitten eye trend too will be used to create a sensual appeal.

What kind of products do you use?

I use a wide range of products, my favorites are Milani, Mary Kay and Mac. I use mostly Mary Kay products for the base and mix with Milani and I use the Milani powder and a bit of Zaron powder as well.

What makes you stand out among other makeup Artists?

Based on what people say, I will answer that question, EHFDXVH , PHDQ \RX FDQ¡W HYDOXDWH \RXUVHOI SHRSOH have to evaluate you. I have heard people say that P\ ZRUN LV à DZOHVV DQG WKDW P\ ZRUN VSHDNV IRU LWVHOI I usually work with what is on ground that is to say, I know how to give you what you ask for, especially if it is a look you ask me to reproduce. I am comfortably an all rounder.

How long does it take to make the models up?

the models have been cool, especially when they see my work on one of their colleagues. I realized that every time I did a job, people would come and sit down or line up to be made up by me. The fresh look we adopted was loved by everybody and so nobody complained or lost their cool.

Have you ever handled an event this big?

Yes, I was the lead makeup person last year. I have also done the MTN fashion show and other fashion shows as well. But this is by far the biggest. This is on an International scale. I had the opportunity to work with models like Millen Magese and models from all over the world, I have been really exciting.

R OB EVANS - Causing a Stir

R EP ORTAGE

By Fatima Garba

W

hen Rob Evans was discovered in 2010, the last thing he was thinking about was modelling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he would have probably laughed and shrugged off the notion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let alone creating a sensation walking the Givenchy Spring/ Summer 2011 Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Show in Paris, France. He was in Oxford, United Kingdom, training at his local boxing gym to maintain his amazing 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;3 physique.

Many have tried but we really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a Black male model stir up a buzz since the legendary Tyson Beckford. So far, modelling has allowed Evans to walk in shows in Paris. The 2011 New York Fashion Week had designers scrambling to include his stunning presence in their runway shows. Photographers have been breaking necks to get the opportunity to capture him in front of their lens Rob Evans, born in 1988, in Oxford, United Kingdom, is a combination of British and Irish, a boxer turned model, most notably known for his work with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Givenchyâ&#x20AC;? for the Spring 2011 season. We introduce you to one of the new faces of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Next Top Model Cycle 19, Rob Evans. Obviously gorgeous, Rob spoke to our style correspondent, Fatima Garba, about his life and experience as one of the judges on the show with Tyra Banks.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

My name is Rob Evans and I am a boxer, an actor, a PRGHO , ZDV DOVR D MXGJH RQ $PHULFD¡V 1H[W 7RS model.

Where are you from?

I am from London originally but I live in Los Angeles.

by - Rhoda Ebun Journalist and Entertainmentt TV presenter, Faith â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nsaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; History, host of Mnetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Faith History Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chats with us on her work life, personal n life, her style and philosophy on life. Her TV show has featured several celebrities ranging Yemi Alade, Fade Ogunro, Gbenro Ajibade etc.

How do you usually start your day?

Usually, I start my day by meditating on the upcoming day followed by a glass of hot water. Itt is (great for the constitution), next I check my g emails, browse on social media sites for breaking news that happened while I was asleep.

Do you have a daily routine?

1RW UHDOO\ HYHU\ GD\ LV GLĚ&#x2020;HUHQW GHSHQGLQJ RQ Q whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on my to-do-list. While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m home, I get my older kid fed and ready for school, get the little one his breakfast and start sorting out my day as well ll in the studio.

How do you balance work with personal life?

I just try to do my best really, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we all? I have to joggle like all other working mothers, make ake joint decisions with my husband, nanny, kids, clients and my team. The end game is to make sure ure not to drop any important balls.

'RHV \RXU MRE LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH \RXU OLIHVW\OH choice?

Absolutely. For instance, I have to attend a lott of red-carpet and fashion events for work and be in n the studio a lot for post-production work. So I make sure I have a home-based post-production n studio so that I can still take time out for family and maintain my work obligations. Also, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sy attend every single event. I have to be very choosy with that and just do my absolute best to be present whenever I am there.

How would you describe your style?

I used to be really adventurous and bohemiannEXW QRZ ,ÂśP UHGHÂżQLQJ P\ VW\OH DV &RQWUROOHG Afro-Eclectic Futuristic- that should be fun.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s y your theory on looking and feeling g good?

Be com comfortable in your own skin. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the way you look, do somethin something positive to change it. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change cha it, then get in front of the mirror every morning and tell yourself yyou love that face staring back at you.

Ways to Eat Clean!!!

Hello my dear readers today we shall be pausing on the food trends and assessing methods of eating healthy and maintaining a clean system. As October brings about the beginning of another school year for the kids so should we as adults restart our calendar year with healthier diets to make our bodies feel best and energized for the start of the new school year.

7RGD\ , KDYH LGHQWLÂżHG HDV\ ZD\V to eat, breathe and maintain a cleaner system, as the old adage goes - health is wealth!

1. CUT DOWN ON ALCOHOL Although several studies have shown that moderate amounts of alcohol (1 drink per day for women, 2 for PHQ FDQ KDYH VRPH KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV²UDLVLQJ ÂłJRRG´ +'/ FKROHVWHURO ÂłWKLQQLQJ WKH EORRG´ SUHYHQWLQJ clots that can cause heart attack and stroke) and SRVVLEO\ ZDUGLQJ RĚ&#x2020; GHPHQWLD DQG $O]KHLPHUÂśV disease, there are some good reasons to make sure that your alcohol consumption stays moderate.

2. CUT DOWN ON SUGAR Alot of us eat too much sugar. Scientists recommend 6 teaspoons per day for women, 9 for men. High intake of added sugar is linked with risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels. One idea to cut back: Skip

OKONJO-IWEALA, ONYEJEOCHA AND ELUMA INDUCTED INTO THE MMS PLUS’ WOMAN OF FORTUNE HALL OF FAME

By Yemisi Suleiman

Finance Minister and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Hajia Salamatu Umar-Eluma, Director of Human Resources, FAAN; and, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, House of Representatives Committee Chairman on Aviation, were among role models who were honoured for impacting their environment recently. They were inducted into the MMS Plus’ Woman of Fortune Hall of Fame 2014.

The third of an annual event, this year’s MMS Plus’ Woman of Fortune Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held on September 23, 2014 at the NAN Media Centre, Iganmu, Lagos, with the theme: ‘Building Capacity for Transformative Leadership.’

This year’s event, according to Mr. Kingsley Anaroke, Chief Executive of Kings Communication Limited, organizers of the ceremony, was in honour of late Prof. Dora Akunyili, former Minister of Information as well as former Director General of NAFDAC, for her avid contributions to the health sector and to nation building in general.

Delivering her keynote address, Dr. Kema Chikwe, Chairperson, Governing Council of the Board of MMS Hall of Fame, said that the project was a significant one as the award was not only being given to serving women but also remembering the late Prof.

Dora Akunyili, whom she described as an institution in the country. She also noted that the award focuses on gender issues in development.

Chief Guest of Honour, Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar, who was represented by the Deputy Director, Cabotage and Shipping Development, Federal Ministry of Transport, Mallam Mohammed Umar, called on women, especially, the younger generation, to be more focused and emulate accomplished women for the development of the nation.

“We need to set our agenda, have our objectives clear, remain focused, persist with dedication and the sky is the limit. We will succeed. If we want to move this country, then each and every one of us should remain focused and dedicated,” the minister noted.

The event was spiced with comedy and musical performances by notable Nigerian acts.

THE EVENT SHOW WITH A DIFFERENCE

by Latasha Ngwube It came as no surprise when the annual ‘The Event Show’ rolled around for a fourth year running. The entire operation is a brainchild of Mrs Izobe Spiff, MD of Tres Bien Events and native to the city of Port Harcourt where the show is also based. This time around it was held at Aztech Arcum with a focus on Ideas to Start-Ups. Apart from its usual features of products exhibition, seminars and workshops, there were calls for entry of budding business ideas, mentoring and follow-ups for stability. The two-day event featured vendors in their designated booths, general lectures on the impact of social media for businesses, a catwalk presentation of various designers and entertainment headlined by Skales. The result was an impressive, well attended and co-ordinated success.
