Another way of use for colors.

Are make-up artists considered to be artists? If so, are they considered to be designers? I think they do, because they create new trends every time they work with colors and brushes each season. It is like painting, but instead of having a white canvas, they have a face, and the art does not last more than a couple hours. One artist is Salina Marie, whose inspiration is color. She mentions in an interview that color gives her the urge to “experiment with different colors [and] made [her] want to do more with tools,” and not just painting.

Color was her main inspiration to actually become a make-up artist. She plays with a range of tones in order to achieve a satisfactory make-up. And it obviously varies with each skin tone her clients have. It is not a simple task to do, combining the right colors and tones for the occasion takes practice. Additionally, each season the trends change and therefore the color tones and techniques will change too.

This make-up process takes the action of thinking and imaging how the end result is going to be. As the process of brushing the color into the skin, it requires the artist to stop for a second, look at their process, and make corrections before it’s too late. The artist goes back to their project and then the client will critique the artist’s work. Finally, if little corrections have to be done in order to have a satisfactory result, changes will be done.

Nothing in life is easy to do. It takes different levels of processes. But it does not mean it is impossible to do.
