Hola Bellas,
How you doin'??(in my best Wendy Williams
expression). Hope y'all are having a wonderful week and are looking forward to an
amazing weekend?!! My week has been really busy and fulfilling; one of the many
things I have to give praise to God.
Hola Bellas,
How are you doing? Hope you had an awesome weekend and sallah break? I wish I could say I rested during the holiday, but oh well, I had fun doing whatever it is I was doing(wipe the confused look off your face).

Hola Bellas,
Its a cold Saturday morning and one of the rarest cos I'm home trying to rest and recover from the flu I've had all week. I'm pretty much a restless person, hence I decided to post up looks I did recently and haven't been able to blog about(time+internet factor).

Hola Bellas,
Hope your day is going great??!!! Told y'all I've been busy. I had a couple of ideas for 2013, one of those ideas is to have a photoshoot every quarter with different amazing photographers I can lay my hands (and pockets on.
My first photoshoot for 2013 was photographed by Rain Vedutti. I've worked with Rain once and he has a very infectious sense of humor. There I was trying to be all professional and serious and he comes in (all 6ft ++), smiles and I'm hooked!!! The theme for this shoot had a bride getting ready for a her traditional wedding. for this chapter I did the Yoruba traditional outfit and it was magical....
Let the pictures speak....
Hola Bellas,
How are you doing?? So I have a couple of pending posts and I'm doing my best to keep them coming.
Towards the end of 2012 I had a photoshoot with talented and amiable photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa of BMB Hive. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the Ali's were ready to go. I've never met sisters and brothers that are more in sync than the Ali's. They were full of fun and energy, I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful bunch!!!
Enough talk...let the pictures speak!!!
Hola Bellas,
How are you doing?? Hope you are having a great day.
This post is partially not makeup related; this photoshoot was one of the fun things I did when I got to Lagos. It a fun day out with my siblings, got stuck in traffic though, but being with them made it bearable.
My sisters Yinka and Jade have had makeovers done by me in the past, but this has to be their first major meet with Bellezza.
Enough talk...meet my siblings

Hola Bellas,
How are you doing today?? Still in the TGIF mood.
Funny title to my post seeing that Dolapo is Bellezza Faces. For my birthday every year I always have a photoshoot and this year wasn't exception although I must say I went all out this year with my outfits and my makeup was extra glam.
I had a total of 4 oufits and unlike other shoots...I was done in 30mins!!! Who says girls waste time?? Enjoy my photoshoot pictures....

Holla Bellas,
How are you doing today??? Hope you're doing great and looking forward to an amazing week!!!
A few weeks ago, I had a shoot for an upcoming designer based in Lagos. A friend cum model Banke hooked me up with this gig and I didn't mind the pay cos I was working with a photographer I had be looking forward to working with, drum roll please....Rain Vendutti !!!
Beela Bharbs is a clothing line owned by vivacious fashionista Bisola Babalola. Her collection features ready-to-wear pieces with amazing concepts and colors. Personally, I love her creativity and style and I'm looking forward to owning and wearing one of her pieces pretty soon!!! Let the pictures do the talking....
Hey Bellas,
How are you doing?? Been a busy couple of weeks
for me...series of events-weddings and fashion shows. Believe me I've been
itching to post but time and work haven't been friendly to me.
In my post on my LMUF Haul, I got this lovely
Milani Shadow Eyez eyeshadow pencil in Aquatic Style. Which is an amazing
pencil, it’s highly pigmented and you really don't need an eyeshadow brush for
application.
Hey
Bellas,
In my last post on my most recent photoshoot with Rabesque Design I talked breifely about sweet Kingi who designed the bejeweled handmade accessories the models were clutching. Kingi’s line is called Kanem Designs and the line features unique handcrafted accessories such as ipad covers, cheque book covers and makeup purses with Ankara, gemstones and Swarovski stones.
How
are you doing?? Guess you’ve been having an awesome week. Mine has so far been
great!!!

Hey
Bellas,
How
are you doing? How’s your day going?? I hope it’s going great!! I'm so loving this post title...lol
I
had another photoshoot with my darling friend and co-entrepreneur Jameelah Audu
for her bespoke Abbayah collection. In case you missed my post on my last
photoshoot with Rabesque Designs, click here to refresh yourself.
So
Jamie moved from just importing Abbayahs to actually designing the outfits
herself and this time I must say I died, went to heaven and came back; cos
these designs are truly heavenly and amazing. It’s so hard to imagine that it
was all designed by Jamie but believe me she did.

Hey Bellas,
How are you doing??
I can begin to give excuses for my sudden absence, going through some personal issues, i'm gonna be back real soon...i promise.
Early this year i did a photoshoot with my dear pregnant friend Ronke Gabriel-Omolegbe and it was my first experience with a preggo but i had fun and my model/client was the best preggo you will ever meet.
I promised i wasn't gonna post pictures until she delivered. And i'm surprised i did't yield to my impulses to upload. Well, Ronnie has delivered her bundle of joy...named Jotham and he's about 4 weeks old now...
Enough talk...watch and learn!!

Hey Bellas,
How are you doing and how has your week been?? The weekend approaches gradually, but there is no rest for a makeup artist...not complaining though.
Sometime during the week I had another photoshoot. Again, Jameelah was there to lend her beautiful face and of course her amazing personality. I also had a new model..Kingi who by the way makes makeup sweeter(if it could be).
For this shoot i went all our with beautiful blues, pinks and black...yeah!! I went on the wild side and eben did a pink glittery leopard print look.
Enough talk..
Muchos love,

Hey Bellas,
How are you doing?? I hope you enjoyed your week and hope you’re gearing up for the weekend? It’s been a lovely week for me and I’m looking forward to a busy weekend ahead with a wedding and a seminar…I know I’m gonna have a great weekend…at least one for the books.
Hey Bellas,
How are you doing and how is your week going?? Hope you're having a swell time??
So..contrary to all my busy busy plans this week, I've been sentenced to a one week compulsory bed rest..so right now it sucks to be me. To make matters worse getting internet connection is proving difficult. So i took a shot and i'm smiling hard at myself in the cafe.

Hey Bellas,
How are you doing today, I hope so far you've been having a wonderful week. My week has been wonderful and I pray it stays so for the rest of the week.
Today I had a photoshoot the the most amazing ladies I've met so far in the city of Abuja and just couldn't wait to do a post about it. The shoot was for an amazing lady called Jameela Audu of Rabesque Designs who makes and sells the most amazing arabian/indian wears (Jalabia) I've ever seen.
So my friend Desola calls me and hooks me up with Jameela for a photoshoot for her new collection of amazing(I know I say that a lot) dresses. Desola is someone I find it hard to say NO to, so despite the short notice and the fact that she's been talking non-stop about amazing fab Dolapo the MUA. The shoot was slated for 12:30pm and the look was the classic smokey eye paired with both nude (first look) and pin-up red lips(second look).
I had an amazing time working with the models as they made makeup so easy and they didn't have any fuss around them. Also had the opportunity to work with the second female photographer I've ever been in contact with, Saude Sani of Memoirre Visuelle Studios. The venue was Greenland Park, Maitama Sule Street, Asokoro, the atmosphere was cool and the company was awesome.
Now, let the pictures speak!!!
