About
I draw pictures on faces using eyeliner. Dots, lines, and stars around the eyes tell stories from my Nigerian culture, like a deer's spots or a butterfly's wings. Every face becomes a tiny piece of art you can wear.
Impact
This project shows that makeup is real art, not just beauty. It inspires Nigerian creatives to dream bigger and invites a global audience to experience Nigerian culture through wearable art and visual storytelling.
Progress
I've created a growing body of graphic liner looks (each one photographed, some filmed in process) and built an engaged online audience on TikTok who follow the work. This project would fund the next chapter, not the first step.
Team
This is my culture and my craft. I've spent years developing this style by hand, drawing from Nigerian heritage I grew up in. No one else can tell these specific stories through liner the way I do.
