MAKEUP AS CONCEPT. MAKEUP AS PERFORMANCE. MAKEUP AS ART.

There is a special kind of magic that happens when makeup becomes part of a performance. Part of our job as makeup artists is to get inside the brilliant minds, space of other creatives and help them articulate a message without the use of words. This is why we love to build relationships with our community and get to know them on a deeper level.

The result is our work and contribution is so much richer and fulfilling when it's a visual thesis, a living painted sculpture of an important message or feeling.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT!

Portland -based designer and a community friend, Alejandra Oyervides, the genius behind AleO invited us to design a makeup look that could stand as part of her artistic language in an art gallery space. We have had the pleasure of working together many times, but this time her presentation was to launch an important artist talk she has coming up at .xyz. A true collaboration of concept and craft.

Naturally, we were delighted to jump right in after we saw the beautiful Imperfecta gallery space and learned more about Aleo's latest collection and the message.

We can't wait to share our inspiration. How the letter A took on a new meaning in this presentation. It's long been a mark historical symbol but last night it stood for a Mexican woman claiming her voice, her vision, her message through art.

Special thanks to the amazing models, EC team artist, Bex who worked in the trenches with me on delivering this makeup concept. 😘 This is what rebuilding Portland looks like
