“The more educated you are, the more perspective you have with your art” – SARA DOMI
I am beyond excited to have an interview and my work featured with NO NAME MAGAZINE. CLICK HERE to read the entire NO NAME MAGAZINE interview. This article features a never-seen-before addition to my portfolio and my thoughts about makeup, art and perspective. I’d be honored if you checked it out.
Today on MAKEUP MEETS TECH… join me for OOB MAGAZINE – Kiersey Clemons – Part 2. I had an amazing opportunity to work with actress Kiersey Clemons for international publication, OOB MAGAZINE. If you’re not familiar with OOB… familiarize yourself; it’s a Parisian print and web publication here to stay. OOB’s print magazine is one of the few that features beauty, art and fashion in a visual format only. Meaning… It’s a large collection of editorial stories uncluttered with articles. It’s a “read” of imagery and artistic expression.
There is something about seeing fashion and beauty editorial stories in print that can’t be be matched to the clicks of our day. Call me old school; but the act of flipping pages feels like an exciting scavenger hunt that is feeds into my need for visual and kinesthetic stimuli. OOB MAGAZINE reserves written articles for web release only, which is why being published in print by OOB MAGAZINE is so special. I couldn’t be more proud to have my makeup featured in Issue #6 – Beyond Neo Modernism.
Kiersey Clemons, a young actress with contagious energy in front of the camera wowed me with her gorgeous face and work ethic. Remaining expressionless for hours is a true test of constraint. I couldn’t have cast a more perfect model for this editorial. Not only was she able to dial it in during our lengthy makeup applications, but in a snap she came alive when the camera was on her; bringing charisma and youthful charm to my designs. She nailed it in every sense of the word. Thank you Kiersey for your patience and being such a pro!! Had so much fun watching you work.
I couldn’t be more excited to have six pages published of Kiersey and the work of my amazing team. If you haven’t picked up your copy of OOB Issue #6 yet, you can get it here!!
In my last post… OOB Magazine – Constructing Beauty – Part 1, I said I would have a surprise for you. I had the help of an amazing Filmmaker named Rachael Joyce of RJoyceCreative. She captured the shoot on video and edited this fashion film for me. Enjoy!! If you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel. I’d really appreciate the love.

Are you a makeup artist who would love to see your work published by an international magazine you respect? I’ve felt that way for a long time. Earlier this year, I traveled to Paris as a finalist for the OOB MAGAZINE and MAKE UP FOR EVER makeup competition. Did I win? No, but I achieved what I set out to do. I decided to enter the global makeup competition after seeing the work that OOB MAGAZINE was publishing. The first time I cracked open OOB Magazine, I thought… “THIS is a magazine that I identify with and I want my work published here.”
During The Val Garland School of Makeup we were given a runway brief. I chose to create a look for Vivienne Westwood and it needed to be really special. The only information we were given was… “Politicians R Criminals” and that the collection was for Vivienne’s Red Label SS16. I started with a crazy amount of research on Vivienne and her brand. I read 3 books on the Dame and listened to a thirteen hour audio book on her life. To put it simply… Vivienne is a bad ass and is responsible for the punk rock aesthetic in the 1970’s!!! She is an environmental advocate and her design aesthetic has a nod to ironic politics. Val Garland, makeup extraordinaire, creates amazing faces that compliment Vivienne’s collections. Keeping all of that in mind… I had to treat this brief with the utmost respect and really do my homework.
