This is the inspiration behind Mo Abudu’s no makeup look for her 55th birthday
Birthday pictures are a representation of the mood of the celebrant, and many times, these pictures tell stories. For media mogul, Mo Abudu, who clocks 55 today, it is not different.
Mo went for the natural look, with barely any makeup on. No contouring or highlighting and the styling was minimal.
According to TY Bello who shot the pictures, Mo Abudu was glowing so much the first time she photographed her.
So, when Mo asked her to photograph her for her 55th birthday, she decided to draw on the inspiration of the look she had the first time she photographed her.
She said,
I remember asking her if she was a model . I had never photographed anyone with a more beautiful bone structure and poreless skin.. she looked like she was in her 20s at best.
If Dreams stir up your passion then HARD WORK is the Afterglow .. and MO Abudu is glowing!
It was this glow I was after when she asked me to photograph her for her 55th birthday .. I closed my eyes and caught a glimpse of our very first session again. I wanted the images to be completely stripped down. Barely any makeup .. no contouring or highlighting..minimal styling .. Just pure Mo in her beautiful brown skin …. powerful .. peaceful and joyful.
