Makeup artists don’t get enough creative kudos—We’re ready to change that.

In our conversation with Deepti, you’ll recognize and respect the art within the makeup artist.

It’s more than just contour. Deepti’s highest paying jobs are the ones where she must make the model look natural, flawless, and with perfect skin. Using makeup for a “no makeup look” takes a completely different skill set—one Deepti trained for in school.

Deepti shares the decorum of working on set and shoots. Even in highly controlled environments, her creativity can take shape. She starts with abstract prompts, brushing both color-packed faces and subtle “no-makeup” looks onto her moving and talking canvases.

Her role is more than an artist, but as a comforting face. When working in such close proximity to her models, she must forge trust in both her craft and in her safety precautions (especially during COVID-19).

In this episode, you’ll learn how it’s not always about what’s more fierce, but also about how subtle brush strokes and intention can speak louder.

Historically, makeup has been used to celebrate. We celebrate the artists whose media are as dynamic as the artist herself.

If you’re inspired by color palettes or how eyelashes can make the face pop, send us an email so we can connect you with more CREATORs like Deepti.

Thank you.
