While we’re all to mourn the death of American actor Chadwick Boseman, a Nigerian make-up artist decided to honour the fallen hero by redoing his face.
Based in Lagos, Jane Richard shared a video of herself recreating Boseman’s face using only make-up. Even though she only used foundation, powder, eyeliner and concealer, she managed to turn her face into the “Black Panther” star. Now that is what we call black talent.

The artist has a thing for creating makeovers of celebrities and people that she likes. Previously, she did a makeover of Don Jazzy, a Nigerian record producer.
After Chadwick Boseman died on August 28 after battling colon cancer, his stylist, Ashley Weston also paid tribute to him by sharing some of her memories.
Taking to Instagram, she described him as a brother. She said: “My big brother. My King. I can still see your beautiful smile and hear your infectious laugh. You stood beside me during some of the biggest moments of my life: When I got married, when loved ones passed away, and when my husband was sick – you were there for me, always and without hesitation.
“With every outfit we created, I wanted the world to see and feel the warmth of your beautiful spirit. I’ll always remember that no matter how late we made you for events, you always stopped to hug @saishabeecham and me and say how much you loved and appreciated us before walking out the door.
“As you walked out this final door, I wish I could’ve hugged YOU and told YOU how much I loved and appreciated
