A visually stunning celebration of the world?s most brilliant, bold, and boundary-pushing makeup artistsMakeup is empowering. It?s a means of experimentation, reinvention, provocation, disguise, and protection. It can be ?barely there? or transform someone?s appearance entirely. And in the hands of the finest practitioners, it can traverse into a whole other fantasy land.Blush is the very first global survey to celebrate the most exciting makeup artists working today. Nominated by a panel of industry experts, including editors, stylists, photographers, and art directors, the 75 featured artists range from famed professionals, such as Lisa Eldridge, Pati Dubroff, Sandhya Shekar, Sir John, and Charlotte Tilbury, to emerging talent, such as Bernicia Boateng, Sean Brady, Raisa Flowers, Valentina Li, and Oh Seong Seok. Each artist is profiled with a full-page spread featuring multiple images - red carpet looks, brand campaigns, beauty editorials, and more - along with an insightful short text, presented together in a vibrant, fresh-feeling layout.Every turn of the page yields new inspiration: readers will discover a dizzyingly diverse array of styles, revealing how today?s talent utilizes tone, texture, and technique to craft distinctive looks. Many of the featured artists subvert traditional notions of beauty, using faces as their canvas for experimentation.Beautifully designed and brilliantly curated, Blush showcases the work of a phenomenally creative field like never before.The book features more than 75 international makeup artists working today, including established names such as Lisa Eldridge, Isamaya Ffrench, Danessa Myricks, Sandhya Shekar, and Sir John alongside emerging talent such as Bernicia Boateng, Sean Brady, Raisa Flowers, Valentina Li, and Oh Seong SeokText contributors include Jess Doherty, Akanksha Kamath, Hannah Tindle, Shonagh Marshall, and Zoe SuenThe global nominator panel of industry experts, featuring magazine editors, stylists, curators, writers, hairstylists, photographers, and art directors, includes: Adir Abergel, Omoyemi Akerele, Imran Amed, Sarah Andelman, Marc Ascoli, Katie Becker, Dr Christine Checinska, Clara Cornet, Hywel Davies, Giorgia Feroldi, Evanie Frausto, Victoria Gaiger, Melanie Grant, Daisy Hoppen, Mihoko Iida, Megha Kapoor, Akanksha Kamath, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Nick Knight, Janice Li, Thierry-Maxime Loriot, Penny Martin, Shonagh Marshall, Mok Jungwook, Alistair O?Neill, Ezra Petronio, Mar?a Fernanda Sela Cortes, Viviane Sassen, Katie Somerville, Dan Thawley, and Daytona WilliamsThe book features hundreds of photographs including images by the likes of Carlijn Jacobs, Nick Knight, Alasdair McLellan, Rafael Pavarotti, Elizaveta Porodina, Paolo Roversi, Mario Sorrenti, S?lve Sundsb?, Tim Walker, Harley Weir, and Zhong Lin
