FACE PAINT

FACE PAINT

The playful world of make up

by KOD Staff

Away from children’s dress-up and clown conventions, face paint has always had an important place in the world of fashion. Whether delicately applied or layered and smeared, make up is evocative.  Inspired by everything from Warhol to furniture design, the talented make up artist sees the model’s face as an artist’s canvas.
