IMATS - Making an Artwork out of your Make-up

I thought this was so awesome that it deserved its own post. On Saturday at the Sydney IMATS, I sat in on Nicole Thompson's demonstration.

Nicole is a senior MAC makeup artist who specialises in body art and high fashion make up design. Her style is best described as experimental. Her talk was called "Making an Artwork out of your Make-up". She transformed two ladies into literal works of art. She drew inspiration from the below artists and artworks -

Pablo Picasso - Dora Maar Eu Chat

Tamara De Lempika

She provided the audience with a folder chock full of helpful info including the below face charts.

And the results?

Amazing right? I love the way that she made the second girl, the Tamara De Lempicka inspired one look two dimensional. All with makeup!
