Nigerian Makeup Brands

Hello Beauties,

Am here with a haul on Nigerian Makeup Brands. Have you ever wondered like me about what Makeup products in Naija market are actually owned by Nigerians (either by makeup artists or cosmetics lovers).

Many Nigerians are into the distributorship business and as such import makeup brands ranging from: L'oreal,Iman,Sacha,Marykay,Flori Roberts,MAC,Black opal,Revlon,MUD,Cover girl,Black up,Black Radiance,Forever living and many more even nameless ones but few Nigerians own(i mean established a cometics line)a makeup brand.

Nigeria is an emerging market for Makeup Artists(either freelance MUA's or intending MUAs) and Lovers of makeup(brides and everyday woman) so its kind of expected that there should be more beauty and skin care products and makeup brands owned,circulated and controlled by Nigerians because i believe that as a Nigerian and an African you get to understand the weather conditions and skin infections that are prone to our skin so you make reasearches and come out with products containing not just SPF(for sunscreen) but also anti-bacterial and fungi treatments.

And so i have been able to gather the few Nigerian makeup brands that i know of and they will be discussed below:
1.Bmpro
2.K.K
3.Lise Beauty range
4.House of Tara(Orekelewa)
5.Blush Nigeria
