Makeup business picking up- Peacock Studios boss
Peacock Studios boss, Theodora Oddoye has disclosed that makeup business is gradually taking shape and picking up after the coronavirus restrictions were relaxed in the country.
According to her, makeup artistes are now getting a lot of wedding clients among others to shore up the losses during the partial lockdown.
Speaking to The Spectator, she said, prior to the partial lockdown, she used to get about two to five wedding clients in a month or two, however, the situation changed during the partial lockdown.
Ms Oddoye revealed that the directive from the President, which increased the number of wedding guests from 25 to 100, had improved business for makeup artistes.
She noted that earlier, many brides preferred to go solo, and that those who even had clients had to do the makeup for one person, however, after relaxing the restrictions, some have resorted to using brides maids.
According to her, this had improved their finances, because they have many clients for a single wedding.
She also said that many clients now preferred home service due to the pandemic, which is a little challenging, but useful considering the situation at hand.
Touching on the safety precaution, she said, together with her apprentices, they use nose mask, gloves, hand sanitisers and thoroughly wash their hands after dealing with every client to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
