Avant-Garde
Makeup

Avant-garde makeup is art without limits. It challenges beauty norms, breaks traditional boundaries, and transforms the face into a canvas for innovation. I specialize in creating conceptual, high-impact looks for fashion, editorial, and performance, using unconventional materials, shapes, and textures. These looks are bold, experimental, and unforgettable—designed to provoke thought and captivate. If you're seeking something truly original and boudary-pushing, avant-garde makeup delivers drama, depth, and a fearless artistic edge.

Creative
Makeup

Creative makeup is where imagination meets technique. Whether you're building a character, exploring fantasy, or pushing beyond the ordinary, I design bold, artistic looks that are tailored to your vision. From colorful editorials to themed shoots and stage performances, each application is a blend of precision and play. No two looks are the same—just like no two stories are. Let your creativity come to life through makeup that makes a statement.
