About High-Fashion & Avant-Garde
I don't just apply makeup; I sync with the lighting and the photographer’s vision. Whether we are using graphic liners, metallic pigments, or mixed media, the focus is on texture that reads perfectly under studio strobes without causing flashback. I plan the look to survive the full shoot day, keeping the base fresh while I manage constant touch-ups for every change in pose or outfit.
Creative editorial makeup is about more than just looking good—it’s about looking right for the camera. My work in this space is heavily collaborative. Before the shoot, we look at the mood board, understand the lighting setup, and decide which products will hold up.
For avant-garde projects, I use advanced techniques like graphic liners, geometric shapes, and texture play. I often use mixing mediums like Inglot Duraline to turn pigments into long-wearing paint, allowing for that wet or high-gloss look that doesn't slide off during a long day under hot lights.
If we are doing a conceptual story, I don't stop at the face. I can extend the makeup to the neck, shoulders, and arms to match the skin tone and theme, using alcohol-activated paints that won't smudge on clothes.
I also focus heavily on the base. High-fashion photography requires skin that looks real but perfect. I use professional HD foundations like Kryolan TV Paint Sticks or MAC Studio Fix, set with heavy-duty sprays to ensure the makeup looks the same in the first shot as it does in the last. Whether it's a gritty, gothic look or a clean, editorial beauty portrait, I make sure the technical foundation is solid so the creative elements can shine.
