This encaustic painting holds hundreds of shades and layers of wax. Both melted lipsticks and wax pigments mixed by myself.
For the beauty junkies, see if you can spot some iconic shades. You’ll notice cult classics like Ruby Woo and Russian Red alongside other coveted faves. I also had to pay homage to lipstick and how it’s a part of our milestones & important life moments. My first ever “designer” lipstick was 475 Rose Caprice and so I mixed wax and pigments to bring back the nostalgic shade that means so much to me (I still have the packaging).

Makeup and the moments we share with it are beautiful & this piece is a representation of our love affair with the rituals associated to beauty. It’s also a satire in that Ive decided to use a medium thats not considered a form of visual art to create “art”…
A new take on sustainable art and makeup as an art form 🌟

💀Death To Lipstick💄 Just some of the casualties that were manipulated in MADE UP TEST SERIES #1. The first in my test series that explores the use of makeup products in visual art pieces. In this case, Ive created an encaustic painting in attempts to blur the line between visual and makeup artistry 💁🏽‍♀️ These lipsticks along with some of my own mixed waxes grace the “canvas” and truly test the theory of what is considered an art form these days and what isnt…

Would you call this upcycled art? Do you consider makeup artistry an art form? Comment below 👇🏽

From mixing, to location scouting, to filming, to prototypes, to laser cutting, to mounting, to mixing, to melting, to hanging, to toasting, to celebrating... This experience was like no other. What started as an idea of rebellion & creative exploration became so much more & showed me that no matter what your idea (big or small) go with it.. if ppl don’t understand now, they will eventually.

Forever in awe of the collaborators and artists that just like me brought love for their craft & passion for the message 🙏🏽 Thank you .cinematheque It feels blessed to be mixed in w artists like yourselves and when I doubted that I was an “artist” because makeup wasn’t considered as such, you all just shut that down 🙌🏽 thank u

Lots of sleepless nights and planning to make the show happen. Huge thanks to my friends n fam who came through and made it all possible in one way or another .co .joseph .films

Lastly, to everyone that supported with donations & art purchases- Thank you! We don’t get paid to do these shows or to create.. we invest and share our perspective in sheer hopes of sparking a convo, provoking forward thinking & inspiring others. It means alot to us 🙏🏽

A Colour Study
𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑘 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘
11 x 17 , 63 pages

This magazine print was inspired by the power of colour and my experience as a student at back in 2007/2008 when I studied makeup. I was sooo eager to learn & soak in any knowledge I could and as I looked for reference materials in the library, I couldnt find any that related to makeup! I came to realization that aside from makeup bibles (what I call his books) and the book, makeup reference books were slim pickings… And so, art books, film and fashion magazines became my source of inspiration and where I’d reference how things translated in different lighting, wardrobes, etc. I still have my makeup “morgues” (the OGs know this term) filled w tears from ads and old 🥸 “A Colour Study“ is for all the fashion junkies and makeup artists that want to reference colour stories. Printed in the form of a fashion mag because This was a project that took over a year to create & is soooo beautiful thanks to all the amazing contributors (see them below). & (my ride or dies) Thanks for bringing your talent to this!!! Can’t wait for the world to see it!! Check it out & get your copy at MADE/UP - Link in Bio

This has been a long time coming and I'm excited to announce that my first Art Showcase is happening Sept 24 - 27 in Toronto, Ontario. This has truly been a labour of love and has been in the works for a few years in partnership with some other artists.
This journey was sparked by my experience as a professional makeup artist and having worked in beauty for over a decade. My industry has constantly been undervalued and is rarely considered an art form in the visual art world, so I wanted to to explore that. The result is a multi-media exhibit that showcases the different aspects of beauty and how they co-exist with other mediums. If you're in the area next week come and check it out~ Link in Bio to book your timeslot or visit https://madeuptickets.eventbrite.ca

Her Lips (c. 2014) By Omar Hopkinson
60 x 67
𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑦𝑙𝑖𝑐 𝑜𝑛 𝐶𝑎𝑛𝑣𝑎𝑠

An abstract take on the lips of a woman, this piece explores the complexity of the mouth when dressed up and accentuated by words of wisdom. The abstract approach is a reflection of the views and assumptions of a woman when she is obviously more than her look. Never will she be silenced, only will she be heard.

Mama Cāx
11 x 14
𝑃𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙, 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑟, 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡, 𝑂𝑖𝑙 𝑃𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴𝑐𝑟𝑦𝑙𝑖𝑐 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡

A model turned role model, Cacsmy Brutus (better known as Mama Cāx) has defied all odds. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma and lung cancer at the age of 14, she was given only 3 weeks to live. 2 years later, a failed hip surgery led to the amputation of her right leg. Despite facing challenges with her health, her activism and the radiance of her inner beauty have lead her to gain global recognition. A bold red lip for a bold soul and angel.

My beautiful friend and I circa 2019 🙏🏽 This is a gratitude post for all the talented, inspiring, kind people that have trusted me to be a part of their project & vision - Thank you!! I love what I do, makeup🥲, but really what I love is the journey makeup takes me on & the people/ places I get to see. The opportunity to be with someone at such a vulnerable moment is so beautiful 🙏🏽 Makeup is a ritual whether you’re a performer or not so getting to share moments, stories, laughs & experiences with you all feeds my soul truly🙏🏽 Gracias xo
