How will our make-up look in the future? Will we still use lipstick and blush, or will we invent something new and exciting? Makeup artist Ines Alpha is using art to find out!
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!
