backstage beauty

backstage beauty:  cirque du soleil influenced

each year i assist my friends at parts + labour with their runway show at the annual fashion gala.  this year brenda dunn and i did the make-up for the parts + labour models.  not just any pretty face make-up application... but cirque du soleil inspired.  i was a face painter/make-up artist.  fun!
the amazing wigs were created by artist mark nilsson.

here is my make-up design on paper (illustration by brenda dunn)...  followed by images of the evening.

i used a combination of face-paint and make-up.  i wanted the color to be really solid and saturated.  i was thinking: beautiful clown.  :)









the clothes were amazing... spanish based design label, desigual
