Jennifer Aleguieno: You might know Jennifer Aleguieno. She is the queen of her own class, while most of the make-up artisteslisted above are experts in bridal makeovers with the certified exceptions of Banke Meshida Lawal, Theodora Mogo, Lola Maja and Bimpe Onakoya. Jennifer Aleguino is a  make-up artiste. She was the make-up artiste for the award winning movie, The Meeting. Remember how she transformed Rita Dominic’s face?  She has been nominated for several awards and she won the award for Best Make-Up in a Movie at the 2013 Nigerian Movie Awards late last year.

She is also Clarence Peters girlfriend, no not Chidinma, Jennifer Aleguieno. (instagram.com/jbeautyfull)

Jennifer Aleguieno

Eva  Alordiah  is well known for her rap skills but she has a not so secret talent. I say talent because she has allegedly not attended any make-up school and she is very good not just at the bridal aspect of make-up but also at the special effects and Avante-Garde aspects of make-up. She also did a wonderful job of recreating  Angelina Jolie’s look from Maleficient.
