Chigo Okiyi

Born and raised in Nigeria, I'm a true believer in the beauty that comes from diversity and cultural expression. My love for art extends far beyond makeup, with a 2021 Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and a passion for drawing, painting,sewing, crocheting, and even hair and nail artistry. You could call me a jack-of-all-trades, but makeup is where I truly shine!

My passion for makeup began in high school, and I've been honing my skills ever since. In 2017, I earned a Makeup 101 certification from Bennett Career Institute, further solidifying my technical foundation. Now, I'm enrolled in cosmetology school, constantly learning and perfecting my craft.

For me, makeup is more than just colors and products; it's a transformative tool that empowers individuals to celebrate their unique beauty and radiate confidence. I love collaborating with clients, understanding their individual styles, and using my skills to enhance their natural features.

Welcome to my world, where art meets makeup and every face becomes a canvas waiting to be brought to life.

Now, I'm taking my passion a step further by building my own brand, Capital Pink Cosmetics, right here in Washington DC. I'm excited to connect with clients and share my love for makeup artistry in this vibrant city.
