Make up is empowering. It s a means of reinvention, experimentation, provocation, disguise, and protection. It can be

barely there

or can transform someone entirely. And in the hands of the finest practitioners, it can traverse into a whole other fantasy land. Blush is the very first global survey to celebrate the most creative, ground-breaking, and inspiring work of more than 75 international makeup artists working today.

The book features established names alongside emerging talent, with each artist nominated by a panel of experts including magazine editors, stylists, curators, writers, hairstylists, photographers, and art directors. Also included is an introduction by Alistair O Neill to set the work of today s make-up artists within the historical context of the industry s unsung pioneers. Expertly curated and beautifully produced with engaging texts and hundreds of images, this special book showcases the work of an often-overlooked industry like never before.
