As she sat on the yellow-coloured plastic stool within her aunt’s home in Lagos, she considered listening to the dark and demented voices that crept into her mind with whispers of immorality but she wiped another wave of tears off her face and said to herself: “No… Dear God, I just want to be happy. I want to have a life for myself. I really need your help. I cannot do this alone… Please…” just as more tears pooled in her eyes.
It was 4am… She wanted to stop crying… It would not solve her problems; a cold and hard truth.
She knew she had to be strong; not just for herself but for her siblings and her mum who resided in Ogun State at the time.
She tried to think of what she could do and then it slowly came to her like a rising sun after a very long and turbulent night; she had to throw a portion of her life into something she was really passionate about yet lucrative.
Of the many things she really liked, she truly loved colours and brushes a great deal and for the months that followed, Olajumoke opened up her mind to reading, studying, viewing and seeking knowledge towards becoming a professional makeup artist.
Today, Olajumoke is a graduate of History and International Relations, is happily married, is the CEO of ‘Fix U Beauty Concept,’ no longer cries at 4am and has become the voice and mind behind several success stories of Nigerian makeover brands.
Her wealth of experience and skill has seen her teach several young Nigerians to become professional makeover artists, beauty and skincare experts and beauty-based consultants.
As she has done over the years, she has once again opened her doors to Nigerians and other men and women who seek a career in professional makeover, basic skincare, bridal makeover, contouring and highlighting, Gele tying, photography makeup, fashion makeup and much more.
