Isamaya Ffrench 

I was recently introduced to the work of makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench. I was particularly inspired by her work because of the of the way she contrast nature with the styling of her model. I love the way that she uses the elements of the surrounding that she is shooting in to inspire the makeup whilst incorporating high fashion styling and modern influences of society as well. For example the picture in the top left hand corner the model still is wearing long claw like false nails, but her hands are covered in mud and dirt. And the picture of the model with the paint on her face, looks to me like she has taken resources from the earth around her to use as paint. But she has still attempted to draw on eyebrows and used the red as a lipstick.

I will use the work of Isamaya Ffrench to inspire my makeup as I want my model to look as if she is part of the natural surrounding we first see her in and then her style develops as the film goes on as she is influenced by modern fashion.
