Paulina Opoku-Gyimah say: One of Accra’s most stylish women and a Ghana Rising two times best dressed, Maamés O Asiedu –probably the best make-up artist in Ghana has branched out and can (she must approve) now be booked for all those uber important yummy moments in your life like: weddings, red carpet, baby showers, engagements etc, etc…

The go-to MUA of choice for TV, glossies, society weddings and Ghanaian A-List celebrities including Yvonne Nelson and Anita Erskine, I’m sooo pleased Maames, one of chichi Ghana’s best kept secrets is now doing her thing, fabulous hair & make-up and can be contacted via her buzzing Facebook fan page at: https://www.facebook.com/hairandmakeupbymaames

Note, I very rarely share Ghana based make-up artists with you!!! I think in the last five years I’ve only shared two –but Maames like the best, -accentuates what nature has already blessed you with and doesn’t do the ubiquitous ‘girls-just-want-to-have-fun-80’s-lets-pile-it-all-on styleeee…
