‘‘I was recently think about where as a make-up artist I get my inspiration from. The answer was a tricky one. There is alot that inspires us as artists, inspiration can come from art, film, the environment, music, streetstye, a person’s face, a colour or a mood.This got me thinking about the artists who have inspired me along my journey. They have used techniques that has made me stop and study the image. To the risk takers and the make up educator. It’s my opinion that you never stop learning through your life. Never get stagnant , just because you do something well you can always be better . That’s what these artists are to me they are always striving for better and they inspire me to be better aswell. You may not recognize their faces but you will have seen their work.Social media has also shook up the industry and we have more access than ever to their techniques and tips through facebook, tumblr, instagram and the like.It took me a while to decide who to start with …..but it had to be Pat McGrath….
