The Land of Make[up]-Believe part ll


Makeup as an Art.


I love the fact that Makeup doesn't have to be about just hiding your flaws, or giving yourself some color. (Although thank god for both!) After being in some studios for top brands like MUFE (Makeup Forever) and M.A.C, I got inspired by their use of color variety and their vision. Aside from the capitalistic standpoint of selling appealing products, they have an entirely different perspective on how they see a face. When you see a face, you focus on covering up blemishes, giving yourself a soft rosy cheek, a nice lip shine, a volumizing mascara, an eye pencil (black), and maybe an eye shadow, mainly in the nude family. When these high fashion brands see a face, they see an empty canvas. Your face becomes an ambiguous mix between art and fashion, and I've found some brilliantly executed examples.
