So, many don’t know, but I am someone who loves make-up. I find it so amazing how you can do so much with make-up, creating depth, and just how it enhances your look. Make-up is art on the face or body. One of my favorite make up lines is MAC, Make-Up Art Cosmetics. Two years ago, I remember I came across one of their collections where they had an artist, Richard Phillip, create a work of art using the company’s latest pigments and products.

Phillip’s works is mostly inspired by fashion and he used 24 different products to create a retouched version of “Der Bodensee,” of one of his recent paintings, also known as, Vain Glorious. He shows that painting and make-up are very much the same, the only thing different is the canvas.
I think it’s pretty amazing what you can do with make-up. Make-up has been around for centuries and has been around since Egyptian times. In modern day, many people, women and men, use make-up for many reasons; for personal enhancement, for their profession, for art, and design. Make- up is used professionally for movies, display art, and for the runway. It is universally used. Make-up as an art can transform you, and it has become a common product in the daily life of many people. It has expanded into a huge beauty industry, and along with it, are the professions of a make-up artist. They see the face and body like artist see a blank canvas. You become inspired, and create something that is exquisite. Make-up is beauty, creativity, uniqueness, boldness, and the possibilities are endless.

Design in society can come in all kinds of mediums. Media is what you create design with. Just like paint is a medium of art, so is make-up.
