We are here with RAW Artist
of the year Eugene Conde. This
artist is one of a kind in his
own way. The many styles of Eugene are very unique and artsy.
I was first intorduced to his
work about a year ago on instagram while browsing for makeup
artist. The style didn’t quite
catch me at first, it was more
of a style that grew on me over
time seeing his work some months
ago on long time Victoria Marie Fashion model Jillisa Lynn.

EUGENE CONDE:

up to Pat Mcgrath I love her style of thinking outside
the box..
LOS ANGELES FIRM: Who’s your favorite model?

EUGENE CONDE:

Naomi Campbell for editorial and catwalk, Linda Evangelista for Beauty and for Commercial I love Isabella

Pedaru , Daria Strokous and Suvi Koponen these are
the models who have a blank canvas face for makeup

be interesting to makeup fans.

of an artist you need to know.

Its my frustration of not achieving the goals set for
myself is what stimulate me to fill up my empty spirit.
That feelings of something from within me, essentially
burning to get out , leads the way to create, shapes,
textures, sounds, form and play with the colors makes
me happy.
LOS ANGELES FIRM: What would you say is the highlight of your career?

EUGENE CONDE:

This is really hard to answer, each time I accomplished
something I feel it’s a highlight in my career as time
flies I feel that I still have a lot to learn and to achieve,
every job opportunity is a new and exciting one. The
