Khuraira Cosmetics, a global brand for good.

August 15, 2012, Khuraira Cosmetics opens its first flagship store on the African continent. The location serves as a makeup academy as well as a retail and distribution center.

In 2004, Nigeria born celebrity makeup artist Khuraira, one of the most sought after in the USA, founded the company with the goal to make every woman look flawless regardless of skin tone or skin condition therefore her slogan: making the world flawless, one face at a time. She knew she was creating possibly the most advanced makeup line in the world, but little did she know that a few years later, leading beauty editors in the USA, celebrities such as OPRAH, and top TV producers would be raving about her products or that her innovative K-PRO airbrush makeup system would be an integral part of one of the most prestigious Beauty Schools in the USA: Parisian Beauty Academy, a Paul Mitchell partner school. “All that is humbling”, says the Jos native, “Having a presence in New York, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood… All great stuff; but there is nothing like coming back home and building something that would better the lives of so many young women and therefore so many families. And this is just the beginning”.

The Academy is the materialization of the company’s long term goal of empowering women across the globe. It teaches aspiring makeup artists innovative American makeup techniques and provides them with a rewarding trade in a country where unemployment among young women is alarmingly high. Students can enroll for a 2-week class to learn the technique of flawless makeup for weddings and other occasions, opt for the 4-week curriculum focusing on the Hollywood technique of airbrush makeup using the recently unveiled Khuraira K-Pro airbrush system or the 6-week advanced program which adds photo-shoot, editorial and avant-garde makeup techniques to the curriculum. Beside the artistic aspect of makeup, students also learn the business aspect of the trade.  Upon graduating from the 4 and 6 –week courses, students receive among other tools,  a certificate and a complete K-PRO airbrush makeup kit that includes a professional grade airbrush compressor, foundations, Khuraira dark circle corrector (Essence and In Style magazines must-have product), and Khuraira invisible powder  (OPRAH and American top TV producers finishing powder of choice).

At the retail end, the store intends to end the rampant practice by many makeup companies of pushing the wrong foundation shades on women. It reflects Khuraira Cosmetics core philosophy of teaching versus selling for selling sake. Women are sold just the right products that allow them to achieve a flawless look. Best of all they are taught the right way to use them.

The store also offers airbrush makeup services for weddings and other social occasions.
