Designing the Look : A Make-Up Artist Showcase
When it comes to designers, those who specialize in make-up, making the body their canvas and intensifying or erasing the body’s natural expressions, are amazing artists that deserve a nod or two of recognition. They use the natural definitions and contours of their subject to tell their tales and to bring the entire image together in one masterful choir of epic make-up designs that not only scream fashion, but they also sing artistry. These dynamos of design have to do more than just highlight and shade, they have to complete the design of the look.
Through incorporating both the fashion and the models themselves, the make-up artists are responsible for providing the proverbial finishing touches on the overall look that is being portrayed. Below we have gathered a few examples from some truly inspiring artists within the make-up design arena. We hope you enjoy the following showcase, and find some ignition for your imagination!
The Look



























Love the makeup on the faces of glam girls. Some of the images are truly inspiring in terms of their photography and makeup stuff keeping aside their fashion nature. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated. They are some inspiring shots and designs.
Amazing work! How do they come up with their ideas? It is indeed a very specialised art. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. I’m not sure where the ideas come from, but the follow through is amazing!
Nice photography collection. Always wished I took up photography when i was younger.
I still have that desire…maybe I’ve yet to grow up fully! :p Thanks.
that’s really amazing collection you sharing here. thanks
Thanks!!
this list just made my day! awesome inspiring stuff. wonder how you come up with these ideas Angie. great job!
Thanks Ashely! Basically I’m a design addict and subscribe to hundreds of feeds. lol
It was interesting to check these out from a different perspective. I normally would have focused on the photography and the subjects, but this provided a reason to really study how the makeup is used as a highlight or to convey an emotion.
This is an art form that I had not really paid attention to before, so thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Dan! I’ve always seen makeup as an art instead of a daily routine. I tend to only wear makeup for fun so makeup artists have always been a fascination for me.
Thank you Angie, the make up and the shots are simply amazing!
