Makeup Inspired by Art

Makeup is a powerful thing. It can transform us into whoever or whatever we want. Many makeup artists create stunning looks for every occasion we can imagine. Also let’s not forget their talent when it comes to special movie effects, where they can transform a human into an entirely different creature. Likewise, some artists spend six to eight hours recreating art masterpieces on their faces and bodies! Makeup inspired by art masterpieces is very impressive. It is both an ode to the masters of art and a celebration of contemporary creativity!

1. Van Gogh

Makeup artists have recreated many works of Van Gogh. Either eye makeup or a whole Starry Night theme all over the body, every makeup creation is stunning. A few artists actually transformed themselves into Van Gogh!

2. Salvador Dali

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali is a major inspiration for makeup artists. Whether it is about making a melting clock on their eyes or making their whole face melt, we can’t get enough of their creativity!

Everyone is familiar with the famous woodcut of Hokusai. But have you seen the makeup recreations of it?

4. Pop Art

Once again, makeup inspired by art amazes us. The artists turn themselves into true works of Pop Art!

5. Kandinsky

Many of these Kandinsky-inspired looks could be editorials for fashion magazines!
