Over 24 makeup artists will be battling for the covetous Makeup of the Year award while some makeup training institutions, companies and media houses will be recognized. Some of the big industry players nominated are Black Secret, Paba Cosmetic, Forever Clair and FC School of Cosmetology.
At a media launch to formally announce nominees the Chief Executive of Makeup Ghana Rebecca Donkor said the awards will inspire excellence in the industry. “We need to celebrate role models and innovators, for others to follow and emulate,” she said.
