How to express yourself with makeup

Let’s talk about art. But not the kind of art you find in museums or art galleries, but the art you find in people’s faces. In other words: makeup.

Some people may think that makeup is all about adding layers of different products to your face. Or even worse: some even believe makeup means hiding yourself behind a mask. But nothing could be more wrong.

Makeup is a true art form and utilized in the right way it’s a versatile tool for self-discovery and storytelling.

It doesn’t matter if it’s used for glamorous transformations or fresh-faced simplicity, makeup can always reflect the beauty of personal stories. It’s an art where you use your face as a canvas to create your own story, to communicate your mood and personality.

It’s fun to experiment to find looks that express yourself in the best way for different occasions. Some occasions call for a dramatic makeup, like when you’re power dressing and aim to be the centre of the room. A more natural look sends other signals and tells a different story.

My best makeup tip is this: don’t be afraid of trying different styles. Browse around for makeup tips on the web and try them out. Experiment and find the makeup looks that express you the best possible way! Makeup – as any art form – requires practise to master. It’s fun and you will get better and better!

Don’t just admire art. Be art.
