Aria Darling

Hi Raw! My name is Aria Durso, and I am hair and makeup crazy artist. I love making HUGE and crazy over the top shapes and colors, and incorporating colorful, fun, sometimes outrageous looks into my work. I started out as a traditional makeup artist, studied glamor and beauty and then got into SFX and prosthetic art. But i discovered that when i went to do photoshoots of my work for my SFX portfolio, that i loved to go the extra mile and make all the extras to complete the look: huge and sometimes crazy hairdos to pull a look together, and sometimes even full costumes made of all types of materials. I discovered i loved to create the additional finishing touches even more, and this led to my new obsession with wigs and hair pieces!!!! I love to take raw materials, synthetic and organic alike, and blend them into the unique medium of art that hair can be. To me, there's nothing more amazing then a giant piece of art perfectly balanced on your head! view more of my work on my website: www.ariadarling.com follow this link to view the RAW awards 2011 hairstylist of the year video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoyLQoeTk2I&feature=youtu.be&hd=1
