Exclusive – Bimpe Onakoya Takes NYFW ’15: Creates Statement Makeup for Merissa Webb’s Spring 2016 Showcase

It’s going down In New York as Bimpe Onakoya returns to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for Spring 2016 and BellaNaija Beauty has an EXCLUSIVE all-access pass as we follow her through her New York journey.

The anticipated fashion event kicked off yesterday with a host of fashion editors, enthusiasts, bloggers, celebrities and more storming various venues to catch their favourite designers debut for Spring 2016.

We let you in on exciting scoop a day ago, that Bimpe (Creative Director, Maybelline New York Nigeria) would be creating stunning looks for designers such as Marissa Webb, DKNY and more. And her ‘Cacao-ing’ duties started yesterday.

Backstage at the Maybelline makeup tent, she, alongside other international Maybelline makeup artists, got to work at the Marissa Webb Spring 2016 showcase.

They created a makeup look that centered mainly on the eyes. Models were given a nude base on their face, green shimmery eyeshadow with a hint of blue eyeliner.

We love what they did with their hair – models had tousled side-swept strands that was either finished with a bun, or left to fall over-shoulder.

We definitely love their signature manicures! Maybelline nail technicians created a monochrome look on short nails that stood out in contrast with the colourful pieces.

Bimpe working her magic!

Check out some of the models on the runway:
