Why I don't makeup for dead people- Banke Meshida

Celebrity make-up artist, Banke Meshida, has revealed why she no longer does makeup for dead people. She revealed this to Punch in an interview published by the medium over the weekend saying it actually gets her very emotional.

She said: “I’ve been called occasionally to do make-up for dead people but I declined. I didn’t like the first experience I had. It’s such a sorrowful space to be in and I couldn’t deal with it. It left such a bad taste. I found it emotionally draining and made up my mind that I wouldn’t do it again. It’s a completely different skill set because one is working on skin that is not living; the colour and shading would different. However, it is a very lucrative aspect of make-up artistry because not many people possess the skill. I do every other thing except making up for the dead.”
