A visually stunning celebration of the world’s most brilliant, bold, and boundary-pushing makeup artists

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Makeup is empowering. It's a means of reinvention, experimentation, provocation, disguise, and protection. It can be "barely there" or can transform someone entirely. 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 makeup 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.
