To me, makeup is the highest art form that transforms the human body into a canvas that conveys artistic and stylistic expression. It also gives me an opportunity to work with other amazing creatives. I’m largely influenced by historical fashion and queer culture, which are reflected in my final showcase, as well as Vogue and LOVE. I’m inspired by notable individuals like Tim Walker for his surrealistic take on fashion photography; Alexander McQueen’s incredible runway looks; and Thierry Mugler’s haute couture collections.
