“Each day is genuinely different,” she told Lecture in Progress, talking about her day to day. “The industry is really fast-paced and the pool of talent is huge, so you have to keep up. It’s important to develop a style – a brand even – but at the same time you need to be versatile and ensure you’re not alienating certain audiences.”

Her versatility and spunk seemed to have paid off, attracting clients as big as Kenzo, House of Holland, Browns Fashion, and Opening Ceremony. But it took her some time to get there, working at first as a data analyst.

It was only at the age of 23 that she decided to pursue her makeup interest and enrolled at the London College of Fashion. But even then, she wasn’t fully in. “During my second year I stopped attending so I could concentrate on networking and shooting to build up a portfolio,” she recalled. Another good decision on her part.

Here are some of her eye-popping makeup looks.

Ines is a Parisian-born makeup artist. Like most makeup artists, she started her journey at university, where she studied applied arts and management of fashion design. Then she moved to advertising, where she first learned about 3D design and CGI.

Ines was always fascinated with makeup, and she started experimenting with it at the tender age of 13! Futuristic looks, holographic nail polish, and silver, glittery face paint fascinated her.

Her knowledge of art and advertising, her familiarity with 3D design, and her love of makeup eventually led her to her passion project – creating futuristic digital makeup.

Ines designs looks using both traditional makeup and digital design. She uses makeup on her models’ faces and then adds layers of “makeup” on the computer, which results in a photo or a video of a unique, futuristic look. The makeup moves around, changes, and frames the models in interesting ways.

Will this be our real-life, everyday makeup in the future? We can’t know for sure, but we sure do hope so!

Lauren Mychal, also known as Mykie on social media, is an LA based makeup guru who specializes in special effects makeup. Unlike regular makeup, this craft involves anything from gauze and fabric to special skin-friendly glue to make a person look as unlike himself as possible. Special effects specialists are the people who’re responsible to some of the most iconic monsters, aliens and supernatural beings on TV and movies.

But Mykie isn’t a trained makeup specialist like most. She’s completely self taught, and had to leanr the trick of the trade by watching other artists on the web. Not that that makes her any less skilled – her talent and craftmanship are amazing, and by teaching herself sh’es also developed a rare and special creativity – she’d not bound to any rules.

Special effects are usually used to create scary makeup, but Mykie also makes light, funny looks. She’s transformed herself into the Grinch, Disney princesses and her own dog as well as more traditional monsters. Check out her videos and see if you don’t feel inspired to transform yourself too!

The self-taught (you’ve heard us right) talent was raised in Southern California and knew from an early age that she had a thing for art. Upon completing an education in graphic design, she moved to London, England and quickly found work on a number of cutting edge projects. Breaking away from design a few years later, Lottie moved into what she’d consider her true calling. She now works in LA and NY.

“My path was not a straight and easy one, I started wanting to be a graphic designer and in a roundabout way through an internship at a magazine for design I discovered that being a makeup artist was a real job outside of retail,” she recalled in an interview with the Reed Clarke blog. “From that point, I knew design was not my goal anymore and I did what I could to become a makeup artist. I practiced on every single person I knew, including myself and my husband and then starting testing and building a book.”

She has since keyed fashion shows in New York, Milan, London, Miami, and Los Angeles proving her decision was right. Check out some of her makeup looks in the gallery below. Which one is your favorite?

Eszter Domonkos’ is no different. The Hungarian makeup artist loves experimenting with makeup, creating messy looks that don’t take themselves too seriously.

But oddly enough, her experience with makeup is relatively new. “I wasn’t interested in beauty and makeup before I started a makeup course in 2017,” she admitted in an interview with Office magazine. “I’m a creative person and I love drawing, so I wanted to study animation, but I didn’t get accepted to university and I felt like I should find something else where I can express myself. In early 2017 I saw that there was a fashion makeup course (at KREA Contemporary Art School) in my town, I checked out their portfolio and I loved their approach to makeup. I didn’t even have a brush before that, but they made me so obsessed with makeup and experimenting in just a couple of weeks that I realized that this is what I wanted to do.”

Now she plays with makeup full time, focusing primarily on her eye-popping eye looks. “I’ve always had an obsession with eyes, I just think they are beautiful,” she said. “Since I was really young I always used to draw eyes all over my exercise books in school during my classes. Another reason is that my makeup looks are really ‘messy’ and all over the place so I want there still to be some kind of order. I think I’ve posted 2 or 3 full face looks, and it’s definitely something I want to experiment with more in the future.”

It comes as no surprise that her iconic web presence (which has amassed more than 100 thousand followers) has caught the attention of the fashion world, leading to collaborations with brands like Opening Ceremony, Milk Makeup, Obey, and Drink This Milk.

“The initial transition from modeling as a hobby, to a career, happened organically,” admitted the LA-based it-girl in an interview with Something Curated. “My main goal now is to add to the representation of Asian Americans. I think pushing the boundaries of society’s beauty standard is very important. I think being able to express myself in this medium, being a foot smaller than the average model’s height and not having professional modeling background, is what thrills me the most. I’m happy to see more and more media representation of people who, like me, have found their light.”

Talking about her chosen nickname/persona, Princess Gollum explained:
“Gollum represents the internal conflicts of any mortal; two polar opposite personalities, contradicting yet coexisting. A love/hate relationship with the precious eventually leads to an extremely conflicting relationship with oneself. This was when I first really felt and understood the classic ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. I fell in love. I chose Gollum because I wanted to highlight what I identified with so heavily as a child, as well as crowning his name with princess to add a twinkle.”

Enter Violette. The Paris-born, Brooklyn-based it-girl, known by her first name only, has been in the beauty industry a long time now, and since 2017 works as the global beauty director for Estée Lauder, which is no easy feat by any standard.

The self-made makeup artist is the poster child of the American dream, arriving to New-York in 2013 at the age of 19, broke, with no working experience and with barely any English.

She then studied art and fashion before starting a (very) successful YouTube channel, teaching the art of makeup. “I always hesitated between becoming a painter or a fashion designer, but neither excited me enough,” Violette admitted in an interview with Inside Out magazine.

“And then all became so evident when one night, completely by accident, I had to do a friend’s make up for a costume party. I put sparkles all over her face and it came to me: she was my muse. I was ‘dressing’ and painting her face. Today, all women are my muses, not some sort of blank canvas. I am celebrating all women and their femininity.”

Now she runs an equally successful Instagram page, where she shares her tips and tricks. “Makeup is actually not as superficial as some might assume,” she said. “On the contrary, there is a very deep psychological connotation to it. It is a tool that impacts who and what we see of ourselves in the mirror.”

Her bare beauty screams French girl, and is just what we needed for summer.

With more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, Black has gained a devoted following among editors, curators, collectors and fans across the globe. Follow her too for inspiring (and playful) beauty looks, and head to her site for videos and how-tos.

As a skulltress artist, she uses prosthetics, jewels, airbrushing, and more to create her out-of-this-world looks. Her looks range from skulls and built in castles. One time she even created a mohawk out of deconstructed barbies.

To create her look she takes her precious time to make sure her art is on point and flawless. Each look is different from the other and takes hours to create.

Being able to use her talent to express her love for art is both inspiring and fun. She loves the feedback and attention she gets from her fans and gives her all to make sure she delivers.

Her art is truly exceptional! Scroll down to see her work.

Her ability to transform into anyone she wants is insane. Along with the photos of makeup done, Yuyamika shares short videos showing how she does it, but without going into much detail.

“Once you see your face as a blank piece of paper, the opportunities are endless,” she explains. Even though we can see her work in progress, we still find it hard to believe that this is actually happening before our eyes.
