Beauty – Portland

To be frank, I am no good at writing about myself. I am a multi-media makeup artist (if that\'s really a thing), working in everything from body paint to beauty to special FX. I love realizing makeup artistry in all its forms, using the human face and body as a canvas in one way or another. I am in my zone whenever I am creating, be it a monster, an abstract painting on skin, or creating high-fashion looks. I am heavily influenced by the Japanese school of special effects, and the motifs and styles are pretty easy to see in my showcase pieces. One of my favorite things to do is to combine body paint, prosthetic makeup, beauty, and fashion into one design. Equally one of my favorites are creating completely bare-bones, \"no makeup\" makeups. I love a natural, clean look, and it can be just as hard to do well as a complex special effect.
