17 . What is your definition of beauty ?
Harmony and balance , but also things that are running the line of beautiful and ugly and by staying within that line , you end up with something interesting and a touch of mystery .
18 . What is your favorite part about being an educator at , “ The Makeup Show ”, and what can we expect from your keynote ?
“ Artistry and Innovation ”. My favorite part is being able to create something and having people see the transformation in front of them . I also love to meet people that appreciate what I do . With regards of what should be expected , I would have to say that the attendees watch a live transformation and discover that I ’ m quite open about my process .
19 . Why is it so important to continue to educate and inspire the next generation of working artists ?
I work 99.9 % on intuition and it has never let me down . I find with a lot of artists they have fears , which hold them back when it comes to trying new creative ideas . I ’ ve also learned that that fear is something that is traced to childhood so when I educate it almost becomes a bit of a therapy session . My goal is to get artists to be comfortable and to open themselves up which clearly sounds Zen but makeup is more than pigments and geometry .
20 . Being that you have attended , “ The Makeup Show ” many times in several different cities , what would you say is the most important experience for artists to gain out of attending the show ?
To gain different new perspectives when considering how the artist is approaching their art . That concludes our wisdom with Roshar !
