Salma Phillips Stunning As She Covers The September Edition of BM|Pro Covers

This month’s edition of BM|Pro Covers features the stunning TV presenter Salma Phillips. The Northern beauty looks stunning on this September edition with bright pink eyes, white henna on her hand and gorgeous, flawless skin!

Banke Meshida-Lawal has this to say;

'Salma has such clear and smooth skin, my BM|Pro HD Primer melted easily like butter on it. Same way it’s easy to warm up to her especially when she assumes the role of interviewer. You just easily spill your guts and the temptation to hold nothing back is high! She draws out information from people through her role as TV girl. She hosts 2 talk shows, one in Hausa and the other in English Language, yet with a northern address, giving insight into issues faced especially by women and the girl child.

This was a first for me and I applaud her. Digging deep, especially faced with a culture that shrouds things and experiences in mystery cannot be easy, but Salma does it and with such grace. Her show airs on Africa Magic Urban on DSTV Channel 153 and is in its 2nd season. I ask her why her local language and she says it helps her connect with her guests. They share some of their deepest secrets and this in turn should offer relief/closure in some cases.
A problem shared is a problem half solved! I guess some things cannot be translated into English without losing its deep connotation!
My shoot would not have been complete without Henna, a part of the Northern culture. Not in its common form but with a unique flavor.The Henna Place Lagos made my look come to life with the All New White Henna. The henna artist scribbled with such dexterity, it was Amazing!"

Beauty and Brains are simply amazing...

“With so many photos in our archives we came up with this – it focuses on makeup and how we’ve created the look of our cover girl." She continued.

Banke Meshida-Lawal,also went further to share how much she admire Lola Okoye especially for her good heart and calm spirit. She says,

"As she sat in my chair with her eyes closed as I applied her liquid eyeliner I couldn’t help but wonder at her very kind heart. All around us cancer is so real! Deciding to do her bit for victims, I couldn’t help but applaud her. I’m sure as I hugged her “Thank you” for allowing me paint her face, she must have wondered why the hug was so tight!”

Beauty beyond looks indeed.

HOW TO GET: A GREAT SMOKEY EYES

To copy the bevy of celebs sporting smoldering, smoky eyes on the red carpet, stay away from blue hues - which can make you look like you have undereye circles, says Giorgio Armani makeup artist André Drykin.
