Ep. 62: Asare Prince - How Asare Prince Is Navigating The Beauty Industry In Accra, Ghana

Today I welcome my first international guest to the Friends in Beauty guest chair, Asare Prince.

 

Asare Prince is a Professional Makeup Artist and a Beauty Consultant based in Accra, Ghana. His specialty is in Editorial, Print/Magazines and Bridal parties. 

 

He has gotten the opportunity to work and be the head of makeup for most fashion weeks in Ghana: KUMASI FASHION WEEK, GLITZ AFRICA FASHION WEEK, DEBONAIR AFRIK STYLE LOUNGE and more.

 

He has also helped to create campaign shoots for some renowned fashion houses including CHRISTIE BROWN, TRUE FOND, SARA BOADU to name a few.

 

I had such an amazing time chatting with Asare. We have been friends on Instagram for several years and I had the opportunity to meet him in person in 2017 when I traveled to Ghana. We had the opportunity to chat about all things beauty and so much more!

 

In this episode Asare shares:

• An inside look of what the beauty industry is like in Ghana
• How he has added another stream of income to his beauty business with his product line Body Butter by Asare
• What it’s like being a male MUA in Ghana
