What Nigerian Celebrity Slayers Thinks About Make Up

Think guys don't care about makeup? Think again. They may not know much about it or understand exactly how it gets applied, that's fine, we don't expect them to. But they definitely have an opinion when it comes to how much of it you should be wearing.

If you have ever wondered what men really think about women’s makeup, then wonder no more. Lets judge with what Male Nigerian Celebrities think about make up.
These celebrities are perceived to be wild and are known to use extreme make up girls for their videos, yet they have this to say about make up.

Many bloggers think Don Jazzy is ugly, I' for one don't think he is, not when you catch him in a nicely fitted blue suit. Thump up sir. About make up " i think a lot of makeup actually makes women look worse"







    D'prince, with his "six pack" show off, though uncalled for, has this to say about make up. "You don't want to overdo it, if you don't exude beauty from within, no amount of make up will be able to cover it up.
                                                                                             
coco master, D'banj, an entertainer to the core. With all his here and there lifestyle, don't think he doesn't notice. His thoughts "I love seeing ladies in make up, but not heavy amount of it. Let it only highlight your natural beauty not change you to something you are not" 

I must give it up for the fashion designer who made this suit. Your look cute in that black flowered suit.

This is another suit i admire here, i bet they were all made by Nigerian fashion designersOlamide  is another your celebrity that many girls can kill to get his attention. His thoughs " I prefer it simple and sexy, no man want kiss a clown" 
 Iyanya, with all his tattoo, still have his opinion about make up. I am not a fan of tattoo but i will report guys reports on make up " make up should enhance natural beauty not defile it. Less is more" 

I am the last person to suggest that any woman change herself for a man, especially when it comes to our appearance, but these findings are to help give women the confidence to pare back the amount of make up they wear and let their own natural radiance shine through

No-makeup makeup” is a beauty technique people use to give their face the natural appearance of looking like they’re not wearing makeup even though they are, in fact, wearing makeup. Try this technique and see your man fall in love all over or even more.

Runway Fashion Can Be Hilarious


Are fashion shows actually meant to represent clothes people wear? Or is it more about what this designer can do, and challenging the status quo, etc., things like that? Because so many items are so unpractical and actually quite ugly and ridiculous in real life


 Wow! Can this fashion designer claim that the devil made him do this? I couldn't look at this twice. I wonder how many Nigerian fashion designers can make something like for fashion runway.

I often see pictures from runway shows where the garments look uncomfortable, impractical, and horrendously ugly, and this is just one of them.
 No way! hmmmmm at least no one will ask if she brought bodyguard, because sure she did. Whats this cage doing behind the supposed wedding gown. i wonder the kind of suit the groom will have to wear after seeing this.

 Oh I see, such a befitting suit for the groom. Really? what is this fashion designer thinking?

I just don't have words to describe this masquerade of a hard-work. Fashion designers can be cruel sometimes. What is this person thinking?

Exactly What Every Nigerian Tailor Does

Guess, you’ve probably made few trips to tailors in your life to take in (or let out) a dress or to shorten a pair of pants, shirts, suits, or native wears given to you as a gift. But there is much more our Skilled Nigerian tailors can do.

Choosing a tailor can be tricky – Nigerian tailors are loose and experience does not always equate to skill.  Oftentimes I meet someone who can do what I ask, but fails to point out what I asked for will ruin the look of the garment.  Other times I have been promised the whole world only to receive back a garment unfit to wear.  When you find a tailor that you like, one who understands your needs, please treasure that relationship because a skilled Nigerian Tailor can save you on a very bad day.

Most people confuse a Fashion Designer with a Tailor, the reason may be because both use the same tools and the end product is clothing. However there is huge difference in how they work. The tailors directly take client’s measurement and stitch the clothes according to the design given by the client. The Fashion Designer on the other hand is the creator of a new design. The Fashion Designer takes inspiration from different themes and draws new ideas.  We know the business of fashion and tailoring become more easy and intriguing if we have a tailor who is also a fashion designer. 

What Nigerian tailor does that Nigerian Fashion designers may not do.



  1.         A Skilled Nigerian tailor makes, repairs, or alters clothing.
  2.                 He/she makes customized dress for a client who walks in his shop        professionally.
  3.              A Nigerian tailor usually makes dresses which clients might select from in magazines, newspapers, fashion shows etc.
  4.        .    A skilled Nigerian tailor is satisfied only when the client is happy; if the client isn’t satisfied with the clothes, the tailor either works to meet expectations or make the client whole by refunding his money.
  5.             A good Nigerian tailor offers guidance, on styles and can work on any body shape.  
  6.             A skilled Nigerian tailor who understands his position and treasures his/her relationship with you will always be accessible. You want a professional that is accessible; when you find out a week before your wedding you’re a little too large for your once well-fitting suit, you want someone who can help you in a pinch, don’t you?
A good tailor is hard to find, but once you do they will help take any of your existing formal looks to the next level.

Why Nigerian Made Suit Is BetterThan A Foreign Suit




Foreign suit (Ready to wear) is bought off the rack, in a cut and style determined by the designer. The designer determines the style, size and specification. So as long as you are happy with the size and style, you can purchase it. Foreign suit leaves you with no option. You have no fantasy nor dream because the suit is imagined for you. 

From observations, few men are likely to possess the dimension of a foreign suit exact size. So while a suit may fit well in some areas, it may be too long, short, loose or tight in others.



Obviously, those interested in menswear will over time want to start making their own sartorial choices around cloth, cut and finishing. This brings us to Nigerian-made suit.

Fabric used in sewing a suit is ultimately only as good as its raw ingredients. Fabric selection is the most important choice you should make. Having Nigerian fashion designers or tailors in Nigeria sew your suit, will give you the privilege to decide the fabric of your choice. Not only does it determine how your suit will look and feel, but also how it will perform and last over time.

Even though there is nothing inherently wrong with a well-tailored foreign suit that people buy off the rack, it simply cannot compare to having a suit made to your specifications.

A Nigerian-made suit takes countless measurements to make sure that every aspect is created to fit your body and your shape. If you buy a suit off the peg, it has a generic shape which will often need to be altered to fit comfortable and even when it has been altered, the fit still won’t be perfect.

Most of the foreign suits are often made with far cheaper material, which wears quickly and you find yourself needing to buy new suits more frequently. The fabric used by Nigerian fashion designers and tailors in Nigeria are often e so superior in quality, that the suit ends up lasting a lot longer. When I visited a fashion designer in Nigeria, I made my choice of fabric; lining and the fashion designer also gave me aftercare guidelines on the fabrics. 
 
Think of your first visit to a Nigerian fashion House as the first step in building your new wardrobe. Start with versatile basics and slowly build out to seasonal fabrics with more personality. You can wear a solid black or blue suit to the office three times a week and nobody will notice.

Fashion and style is simply about personality and self-expression, this you can’t get with a foreign suit but a Nigerian-made suit gives you a large scope to express yourself. Have a little patient and let your suit be sewn by Nigerian fashion designers or tailors.

How dress code affects Your company Image




First impressions and overall judgments about people are formed by the way they dress. It is important that your standard of dress creates a positive impression. It is true that professionalism varies by industries, yet the relationship between the variance is strongly interwoven. 

You have to understand that no company standard of dressing is primarily designed for the employees; it is for the image of the business first. It is not the employees that pay the business; it’s the business that pays the employees.

When was the last time you saw a person in a suit struggling balance with a bus conductor or debating about any topic on the road?  When was the last time you saw a suited person sat beside a park bench eating gala and pure water? 

How we dress influences how we act. Put on a sporty, and you are more likely to argue every topic on the road. Put on a posh suit,senator-native-wear or agbada, and you are more likely to walk upright and proud. You wouldn’t be caught wiping your nose on your sleeve, or dabbing crumbs from your mouth. You wouldn’t do it because of what you were wearing. Dressing affects how we act, talk, and even how we conduct ourselves around other people. 

Even when your pocket is empty and you are wearing a nice tailored suit, it is difficult for people to call you poor, unattractive or unproductive.
Sequel to this, when people at your workplace are forced to wear suit, then people around them will start treating them differently too.

When you are dressed in proper business attire, it gives the message that you are dedicated to your position and it presents a visual image of your company.
It would be a shame to be overlooked for a promotion simply because of the way you dress. Unfortunately, this actually does happen quite often.

It is most important to get attention for great work rather than gaining attention for wearing the latest fashion trend, and if you must; go for a more conservative look.

You don’t have to have all the money before you can look good, wear a suit or appear professional. If you able to get a Nigerian fashion designer or a Nigerian tailor for those of us in Nigeria, who has been known for nice work and excellent customer satisfaction, you can be sure to get a fitted posh suit with cashmere material or any nice material of your choice. You can also get corporate shirts, pants, or skirts from any good Nigerian fashion designer or Nigerian tailor.
I wouldn’t be wrong to say that, I prefer a tailored suit, Nigerian-made-suit to foreign one, because after I wore a suit made by a Nigerian fashion designer, I decided never to buy a foreign suit. Dr. Legend Clothing dazzled me.

However, if you are dressed for work, then you are more likely to work.

List of Five Men Wear That Will Remain Trendy in Nigeria




The nature of fashion is that it is always changing, and it's usually pretty easy to pick out something that really is trendy and intriguing to you at the moment that will be gone in one year. Fashion is cyclical, and the pace at which it runs is sometimes unreachable. To pick out clothes that will always remain trendy for Nigerian guys is simple. Once you understand the basics of fashion trends, you can settle the never-run-out-of-trends-wear. The basic is simplicity; it has remained the ultimate sophistication. The simpler the design, the less likely it is to go out of style. 

Here is a list of five men wears that will always be trendy in Nigeria

The Classic Suit
Don't tell anyone, but we hear the Nigerian-made suit have proven to be best both in fitting and in durability. Because it is sown with your exact measurement and you can decide the material to be used for you. This can be worn to interviews, meetings, or mix-and-match with other pieces for after-work. It can represent anywhere, it is timeless.


These are the cornerstone to many men's wardrobes. The fit has to be excellent on the pants. With black pants you can go from casual to formal with the change of a shirts or jacket. An absolute must for the classic clothes wardrobe.

White shirt
Something that you can dress up with some great jewelry or belts. The most important thing about a white shirt is that the fabric has to be crisp. Make sure that the fit is perfect and the buttons closing properly leaving no gaps. As soon as the white begins to turn to it-was-white or go grey it is time to brighten it with either bleach or bleach substitute. 


Native Wear
Native wear is much more our identity in Nigeria and African in totality. It is another men’s wear that will always be trendy. As long as you get a good Nigerian tailor or a Nigerian fashion designer who has been known for excellent jobs to sew it. Your end product will be timeless.    
Ankara Fabric
I have to do justice between native wear and Ankara in Nigeria. These two doesn’t represent the same for us. Undoubtedly, Ankara fabric is a great influencer on African fashion. It has entered into our fashion mainstream and can never be out of trends for Nigerian guys.
