the Beauty Radar</a> is an adaptable, fluid editorial series that moves effortlessly through the many nuances of the beauty realm. That is precisely why, for this brand-new chapter, we decided to interview an hairstyling studio. You read that right. And instead of dropping a microphone right into the middle of the stations at <strong>Halle</strong>, on Via Mantova 17, we sat down for an in-depth chat with founder <strong>Davide Omizzolo</strong>, who set the tone right away: &#8220;<em>I never wanted to simply open a place where people get their hair cut, but a space that reflects my personal philosophy towards this craft. I wanted to build an environment where individuals can evolve and truly get to know each other&#8212;both the clients sitting in the chair and the professionals working behind it</em>.&#8221; Intriguing, to say the least.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">In conversation with Davide Omizzolo, founder of milanese hairstyling studio Halle</h2><p><strong>Describe Halle&#8217;s aesthetic in three words</strong></p><p>Reckless, unconventional, introspective.</p><p><strong>How was Halle Milano born, and what vision did you have in mind when you decided to open the studio?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t chase pristine perfection; I look for something with <strong>real character</strong> that speaks truthfully about the person wearing it. A grungy, lived-in, raw finish if that matches your mood. Or sharp, meticulous precision if the cut you&#8217;re aiming for calls <strong>for that specific vision</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

what would you say?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Halle</strong> came to life because I couldn&#8217;t find a space that genuinely resonated with who I am. I had traveled and immersed myself in various creative environments, but I struggled to see myself in the work culture around me. So, I decided to<strong> build my own</strong>. I wanted a studio open to freelancers, where creatives with diverse sensibilities could work while preserving their distinct <strong>artistic identity</strong>. Above all, I wanted to challenge certain dynamics in our industry. People talk constantly about creativity and hype, but far too little about the <strong>daily well-being </strong>of those doing the work. To me, <strong>Halle </strong>is about proving that you can maintain a strong creative identity without compromising people&#8217;s wellness. I never framed <strong>Halle</strong> as something that had to deliberately clash with conventional salons. I simply never related to that traditional definition. To me, it is a <strong>studio</strong>, a place where we do what we love with the same ease as cutting a friend&#8217;s hair at home. But taking the craft <strong>immensely seriously</strong>. At the end of the day, we cut hair, sure. But if you&#8217;re looking for a generic <em>last-minute haircut</em>, you&#8217;ve probably come to the <strong>wrong door</strong>.</p><p><strong>How much do music, fashion, and underground culture shape Halle&#8217;s identity and inspire your daily craft?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">They&#8217;ve been part of my DNA long before Halle opened. I moved from the Veneto region to <strong>Milan</strong> at eighteen, discovering a vibrant creative scene I&#8217;d never experienced before. Then came <strong>Berlin</strong>, which served as my second school. I still remember walking into Berghain for the first time at nineteen. What struck me most was the absolute freedom people had to be themselves, completely unburdened by rigid aesthetic boxes. <strong>Tokyo</strong> was equally formative, especially its friction between hyper-futurism and deep tradition, and those authentic audiophile listening bars packed with archival vinyl. For me, <strong>underground culture</strong> isn&#8217;t an aesthetic template to copy-paste; it&#8217;s an <strong>attitude</strong>: experimenting, embracing risks, and never feeling obliged to do what everyone else is doing.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3bf0a5b-df5d-46f5-8e34-6a65484c45ce_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/83352ca7-0401-4dd1-8361-512509be74a0_1440x1920.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/aeae8648-c6a6-47ee-a5c1-bdf3ca508005_1086x1448.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;halle milano&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0aac4fb0-246e-40f3-84bc-a9a72a8e0dc3_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Cut versus color: where do you begin when truly transforming someone&#8217;s look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It always begins with an honest<strong> conversation</strong>. Before even thinking about cuts or color, we focus on understanding the human sitting in front of us, how they wear their hair day-to-day and what they wish to communicate. People often bring in a reference photo, but what drew them in isn&#8217;t necessarily the technical cut itself. Often it&#8217;s the attitude, the innate <strong>vibe</strong> of how that person carries their style. Our job is to pinpoint what lies underneath that reference, interpret how that imagery influenced their choice, and translate it into something <strong>deeply personal</strong>. And, most importantly, teach them how to style and maintain it. I could deliver the most stunning haircut in the world, but if you don&#8217;t know <strong>how to style it</strong> the following morning, the work simply isn&#8217;t complete.</p><div

inside or outside hairstyling?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I make a <strong>conscious effort </strong>never to limit my inspiration solely to the hair world. The most compelling breakthroughs usually emerge from <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/cinema">cinema</a>, live gigs, travel, or an impromptu conversation. Recently, seeing <strong>Botticelli&#8217;s Primavera</strong> at the Uffizi Galleries in Florence completely shifted how I perceive hair. The tactile textures, the organic movement, the sculptural shapes, and how light interacts with every strand. I find it incredible that a painting over five hundred years old can directly impact <strong>how I approach</strong> a haircut today. True creativity always stems from these <strong>unexpected connections</strong>.</p><p><strong>How does such a distinctive creative vision translate into daily studio life? How do you balance experimentation against client requests?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One major pitfall in our industry is mistaking <strong>raw creativity</strong> for an urge to show off technical prowess. I have zero interest in using a client&#8217;s head as a blank canvas to <strong>impose</strong> my own agenda. I care about co-creating something together through continuous dialogue. And to me, experimentation goes <strong>beyond hair</strong>, it defines our working culture. I want my team to feel empowered to cultivate their own intuition for why and how a look works. Technical training, study, and creativity must always move <strong>hand in hand</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/612a65c5-a731-4dc9-bfdf-e658843dd337_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/838bfe0a-888e-4e2e-aa70-e3ceec40dc3b_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/532e5785-f698-4fb4-a9d2-aeb0c92251b3_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/007ead41-d778-4932-b930-b8fde19f4cce_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Do clients bringing AI-generated images as reference pose a challenge for hairstylists?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We don&#8217;t necessarily treat them as a hurdle, but rather as an <strong>emerging tool</strong> we need to embrace and master. <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/intelligenza%20artificiale">Artificial intelligence</a> can be an intriguing starting point to explore uncharted silhouettes, but our craft goes far deeper than simply replicating an image. Our role is decoding the<strong> underlying idea</strong> behind the prompt and turning it into something authentic, wearable, and tailored to the unique individual before us.</p><p><strong>Which hairstyle would you love to see more often out in the real world?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;d love to see more cuts and styles that truly mirror the wearer, rather than just blindly following <strong>micro-trends</strong>. To me, it&#8217;s about crafting something that feels entirely natural to the person wearing it, a look they see themselves in, feel completely confident carrying, and use to express themselves <strong>without hesitation</strong>. Hair should serve as a channel to amplify your <strong>personality</strong>, not a checklist to fit a fleeting aesthetic or mimic whatever algorithm is trending this week. Our job isn&#8217;t making everyone look <strong>trendy</strong>; it&#8217;s helping people feel at home within their own identity.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

tradizionale, cosa diresti?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Halle</strong> nasce perch&#233; non trovavo un posto che mi rappresentasse davvero. Avevo viaggiato e conosciuto ambienti creativi diversi, ma non riuscivo a riconoscermi nei <strong>modelli di lavoro </strong>che vedevo intorno a me. Cos&#236; ho deciso di creare il mio. Volevo uno studio aperto anche ai freelance, dove professionisti con sensibilit&#224; diverse potessero lavorare mantenendo la propria identit&#224;. Volevo soprattutto mettere in discussione alcune <strong>dinamiche</strong> del nostro settore. Si parla tantissimo di creativit&#224; e successo, ma troppo poco di <strong>come stanno</strong> le persone che fanno questo lavoro ogni giorno. Per me Halle nasce anche da questo: dimostrare che si pu&#242; avere una <strong>forte identit&#224; creativa </strong>senza sacrificare il benessere delle persone. Non ho mai pensato ad Halle come a qualcosa che dovesse essere diverso dagli altri saloni. Semplicemente, non mi sono mai riconosciuto in quella definizione. Per me <strong>&#232; uno studio</strong>, un posto in cui facciamo quello che amiamo con la stessa naturalezza con cui taglieremmo i capelli a un amico a casa. Ma prendendo molto seriamente quello che facciamo. Alla fine tagliamo capelli, certo. Ma se cerchi una <em>last minute haircut</em>, forse <strong>hai sbagliato indirizzo</strong>.</p><p><strong>Quanto contano la musica, la moda e la cultura underground nel definire l&#8217;identit&#224; di Halle e nell&#8217;ispirare il tuo lavoro?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sono parte della mia vita da molto prima che aprissi Halle. Mi sono trasferito dal Veneto a <strong>Milano</strong> a diciotto anni e l&#236; ho scoperto un mondo creativo che prima non conoscevo. Poi &#232; arrivata <strong>Berlino</strong>, che per me &#232; stata una seconda scuola. Ricordo ancora la prima volta al Berghain, avevo diciannove anni. Mi ha colpito soprattutto la libert&#224; delle persone di essere s&#233; stesse, senza dover rientrare in un&#8217;estetica precisa. Anche <strong>Tokyo</strong> mi ha influenzato molto, soprattutto per il contrasto tra futurismo e tradizione, i veri listening bar con dischi archivio incredibili. Per me la cultura underground non &#232; un look da replicare, ma un&#8217;<strong>attitudine</strong>: sperimentare, prendere rischi e non sentirsi obbligati a seguire quello che fanno tutti.</p><div

una persona?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Partiamo sempre da una <strong>conversazione</strong>. Prima di pensare al taglio o al colore, cerchiamo di capire chi abbiamo davanti, come vive i propri capelli e <strong>cosa vuole esprimere</strong>. Spesso le persone arrivano con una fotografia, ma quello che le colpisce non &#232; necessariamente il taglio. Magari &#232; l&#8217;attitudine, il modo in cui quella persona <strong>porta i capelli</strong>. Il nostro lavoro &#232; capire cosa c&#8217;&#232; dietro quella reference e trasformarla in qualcosa di personale e di come quella foto ha influenzato la scelta. E soprattutto insegnare a <strong>gestire il risultato</strong>. Perch&#233; posso farti il taglio pi&#249; bello del mondo, ma se il giorno dopo non sai come asciugarlo il lavoro <strong>non &#232; finito</strong>.</p><p><strong>Quali sono i riferimenti estetici che ti influenzano di pi&#249; in questo momento, dentro o fuori dal mondo dell&#8217;hairstyling?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cerco di non limitare mai la mia ispirazione al mondo dell&#8217;hairstyling. Le idee pi&#249; interessanti spesso arrivano da <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/cinema">film</a>, concerti, da un viaggio o da una conversazione. Recentemente, agli Uffizi di Firenze, vedere la <strong>Primavera di Botticelli</strong> mi ha fatto guardare i capelli in modo completamente diverso. Le texture, il movimento, le forme organiche, il modo in cui vengono rappresentati attraverso la luce. Trovo incredibile che un dipinto di pi&#249; di cinquecento anni fa possa influenzare il modo in cui guardo un taglio oggi. Per me la<strong> creativit&#224;</strong> nasce proprio da queste <strong>connessioni inaspettate</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5a6b1841-0e42-42e0-80ee-c37c997f1383_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9996b8f9-0083-46d2-bd4b-cd601dcb90b9_1440x1920.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/748c9f1b-412b-4051-a8d6-61475388c971_1086x1448.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;halle milano&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e45e9873-fbd6-4526-bd78-c7f9fdb05e58_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Come si traduce una visione creativa cos&#236; specifica nel lavoro di tutti i giorni? Quanto spazio lasci alla sperimentazione rispetto alle richieste dei clienti?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Credo che uno dei rischi del nostro lavoro sia confondere la creativit&#224; con il bisogno di <strong>dimostrare</strong> quanto siamo bravi. Non mi interessa usare la testa di un cliente per <strong>imporre</strong> la mia visione. Mi interessa creare qualcosa insieme a lui, attraverso un dialogo. E per me la sperimentazione non riguarda soltanto i capelli, ma anche <strong>il modo di lavorare</strong>. Voglio che il mio team abbia la libert&#224; di sviluppare una sensibilit&#224; nel capire il perch&#233; e il come fare certi look. Formazione, studio e creativit&#224; devono andare <strong>allo stesso passo</strong>.</p><p><strong>Le immagini AI portate dai clienti come esempio di quello che vogliono sono una sfida per un hairstylist?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Non le vediamo necessariamente come una sfida, ma piuttosto come un <strong>nuovo strumento</strong> con cui dobbiamo imparare a lavorare.

Il nostro ruolo &#232; capire l&#8217;idea che si nasconde dietro un riferimento e <strong>trasformarla</strong> in qualcosa di personale, autentico e adatto alla persona che abbiamo davanti.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/06c9f394-b296-4d38-aa40-4a92954f8db1_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5d33feca-aa83-4c41-a638-d8a647b31d09_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7c814848-a9f7-4386-a16f-2f829b20b780_1536x2048.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e868641-fd8d-4a4e-988c-0c4b87e5478b_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Qual &#232; l&#8217;hairstyle che vorreste vedere pi&#249; spesso sulle persone?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mi piacerebbe vedere sempre pi&#249; <strong>tagli e acconciature</strong> che rispecchino davvero le persone, invece di seguire semplicemente le tendenze. Per me si tratta di creare qualcosa che risulti naturale per chi lo indossa, qualcosa in cui <strong>ci si riconosca</strong>, con cui ci si senta a proprio agio e attraverso cui ci si possa esprimere liberamente. Credo che i capelli debbano essere un modo per esprimere la propria <strong>personalit&#224;</strong>, non uno strumento per adattarsi a una determinata estetica o seguire quello che va di moda in un certo momento. Non credo che il nostro lavoro sia rendere tutti pi&#249; <strong>alla moda</strong>, ma aiutare le persone a sentirsi pi&#249;<strong> a proprio agio</strong> con la propria identit&#224;.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Marseille. If the name doesn&#8217;t mean anything to you, his face certainly does. On <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/lifestyle/46251/the-cure-olivia-rodrigo-personaggi-tiktok-normal-people-rory-gilmore">TikTok</a>, she is one of the most popular and followed makeup artists and content creators for her free and non-conformist approach to makeup. Bleached eyebrows and an expression of challenge, <strong>Garance pierces</strong> the smartphone screen and offers her Gen Z followers (overextended female) a breath of fresh air. Here we are not looking for <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/lifestyle/47200/influencer-fatigue-crisi-creator-de-influencing">perfection</a>, we are looking for effect, expression, self-communication. Perfect, therefore, for <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/under%20the%20beauty%20radar">Under the Beauty Radar</a>, our column on the underground sides of beauty. All of it.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with Garance Murru, make-up artist and TikTok star</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How would you describe your style in three words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fun, colorful and sexy.</p><p><strong>How did you find your expressive figure through makeup, and how did you start using social media?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It all happened very naturally: I grew up <strong>wearing makeup on my friends</strong> and sisters. It gave me so much joy that it quickly became a real <strong>hobby</strong>. As far as social media is concerned, I opened my Instagram profile at 12 and then I became a serial meme dispenser on Facebook, so combining the two things I loved and did the most was an<strong> almost obligatory step.</strong></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a7c2d6dd-4a7a-4789-b3ec-0c649ca1fa93_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/407dbdfd-6d18-4128-8c79-e40ec4761c2d_1199x1599.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ec4d9cde-69f2-4638-9c15-7e11b7d8eb07_1199x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/378ac20e-6df9-4e18-b593-512387695852_1200x1599.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2db86bc8-90a9-47ca-9014-1f6b9aa3fedd_1200x1599.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a623fa43-3a69-4ac9-8bdb-edee202be1fa_1200x1599.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/641d40df-6e4d-482b-b53c-a8c6f9b14b50_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Where do you get your inspiration from?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It depends. I find a lot of inspiration <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/47199/make-up-halloween-2026-idee-trucco-originali">in nature</a>, from the colors of fish, birds and flowers. Other times, however, a look flashes in my head just as <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/lifestyle/35307/insonnia-cause">I&#8217;m about to fall asleep</a> and I have to write it down so as not to forget it. And then I also get a lot of ideas from the work of <strong>other creatives</strong> in the beauty world.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Your creativity has been discovered online for the first time. Do you think that social media has changed the way beauty creatives build their careers today?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Absolutely yes. It can offer a lot more opportunities and higher revenues. I started publishing makeup content because I wanted to receive the products for my professional kit free of charge, which <strong>I couldn&#8217;t afford</strong> then. But if you start your career starting from the web, it will take some time before people <strong>take you really seriously</strong>, it&#8217;s something I still struggle with today from time to time.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/369f2886-1f9f-4553-8da7-f7ae38e03e5a_1168x1557.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e3abbccb-2963-4911-8b90-fb24202c5271_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3a290b0e-9795-4344-bc42-7d35504e6469_1200x1599.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e2c27ee-e00f-4014-8992-ee0aaaab18d8_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What was it like to go from the first steps as a beauty creator on social networks to being hired for larger projects, such as fashion shows and editorials?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It seemed to me that I was taking a fundamental step towards my goal. My dream is to work as a <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/make-up%20artist%20a%20tempo%20pieno">make-up artist full time</a> and live there. I&#8217;m not quite where I&#8217;d like to go yet, but I&#8217;m not in a hurry.</p><p><strong>What do you like the most: working backstage or creating beauty content for the web?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s a situation where I get &#8216;the best of both worlds&#8217;. Online I enjoy <strong>total creative freedom</strong>, while when I work as a MUA it can be a bit frustrating to always have <strong>to adapt to the customer&#8217;s needs</strong>. The most satisfying part of working at MUA, however, is the final result, when you see what has been achieved as a team. Whether it&#8217;s a fashion show, a film or a photo shoot, it&#8217;s always very exciting to be part of something bigger than yourself. Life on social media is sometimes <strong>lonely</strong>, so a nice balance is created.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Do you think that these two aspects influence each other?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think <strong>experimenting</strong> so much on my face has made me a better make-up artist, just as learning <strong>professional techniques</strong> has raised the quality of everything I do.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/63be3485-cca6-411b-a2de-296196fba97f_1201x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/41a6f497-347b-4457-9192-ba7c79efc172_1203x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ab9c1c57-08c7-4966-a260-bdc54c3156f5_1066x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/344f789d-785a-421e-a87c-523847b3fade_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Your work seems to fuse traditional makeup techniques with a more creative and less conventional idea of beauty. What does beauty mean to you?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t have a precise definition for beauty: in my head it&#8217;s more of a spectrum of shades. I usually find it <strong>in what makes me happy</strong>, whether it&#8217;s something impactful, someone who steps out of their comfort zone, or simply a person who <strong>exudes self-confidence</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What do you think about beauty trends? Do you tend to follow them, to reinterpret them or do you prefer to avoid them?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have a love-hate relationship with <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/tag/trend%20alert">beauty trends</a>. I don&#8217;t follow them consciously, but sometimes I look at my work from a few months ago and I realize that <strong>they influenced me</strong>. Sometimes I like to try one or two, especially if it&#8217;s a technique I&#8217;ve never tested. I try to remain <strong>open and curious</strong>: this is what makes me a better MUA and a more complete person.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Do you have any advice for those who would like to start sharing their creative work online? How do you overcome the fear of being a &#8216;cringe&#8217;?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m the right person to answer, because I&#8217;ve never <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/lifestyle/34629/cringe-cosa-significa">been embarrassed</a> in this regard. The thing to remember is that most people will support you: there&#8217;s a community for everyone. If you don&#8217;t like something you publish anymore, you can always delete it later, and negative comments can simply <strong>be deleted</strong>. In the end, the situation has never been so dramatic. What really matters, at the end of the day, is that <strong>you like what you do</strong> and that you <strong>are proud of yourself</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0c07429-8678-4547-b53e-ab0169eae97b_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0c07429-8678-4547-b53e-ab0169eae97b_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What do you expect from your journey into the beauty world from here on out?

I want to do more and more editorials with inspiring people and I&#8217;m starting to evaluate the idea of holding a <strong>masterclass</strong> in the coming months or years.

Mi dava cos&#236; tanta gioia che &#232; diventato rapidamente un vero e proprio <strong>hobby</strong>. Per quanto riguarda i social, ho aperto il mio profilo Instagram a 12 anni e poi sono diventata una dispensatrice seriale di meme su Facebook, quindi unire le due cose che amavo e facevo di pi&#249; &#232; stato un passaggio <strong>quasi obbligato</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/98e25828-8f12-4d5b-81b1-0590a76fa003_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4831fb45-1531-40e8-8172-2922e0636f19_1199x1599.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b99ce955-560a-4053-8667-0be2f738aa8c_1199x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;garance murru tiktok&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/91e062aa-ff6c-44c8-bdf2-23a4e304c94c_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Da dove trai ispirazione?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dipende.

Altre volte, invece, un look mi balena in testa proprio mentre <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/lifestyle/35307/insonnia-cause">sto per addormentarmi</a> e devo per forza annotarlo per non dimenticarlo.

rappresentata da Blend Management Milano/Parigi. Lavoro nel make-up da circa 12 anni, tra moda, beauty, musica e set. Classe &#8217;90, sono nata e cresciuta a Milano ma porto con me le mie radici sarde. Sono sempre stata molto curiosa, amo osservare e sono attratta dalle immagini, dalla musica, dalla danza, dal disegnare e dallo sperimentare. Credo che questo modo di guardare le cose sia ancora oggi una parte importante del mio modo di lavorare</em>&#8220;. L&#8217;abbiamo intercettata tra un backstage e l&#8217;altro della <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/47013/beauty-milano-fashion-week-primavera-estate-2027-trend">Milano</a> e della <strong>Parigi Fashion Week</strong>, e ci siamo fatte raccontare il suo universo e la sua visione per <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/under%20the%20beauty%20radar">Under the Beauty Radar</a>.

Poi, <strong>quando trucco sono molto istintiva. </strong>Non mi interessa replicare esattamente l&#8217;immagine di partenza: cambia in base ai miei colori, al viso che ho davanti e a quello che succede in quel momento. &#200; un po&#8217; come disegnare: hai un&#8217;idea e poi la mano va da sola.

Cosa vuol dire seguire qualcuno cos&#236; da vicino e creare dei look che ne rispecchino personalit&#224; e personaggio?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Con <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/music/22570/selfie-interview-joan-thiele">Joan Thiele</a> ci conosciamo da anni: mi aveva chiamata Giulia Achenza per truccarla nel video di <strong>Armenia</strong> e da l&#236; &#232; iniziato un percorso insieme, di crescita come donne e come artiste. Nel tempo sono nate anche <strong>amicizia, supporto e fiducia</strong>. Con alcuni artisti si crea un&#8217;intesa particolare, che permette di conoscersi davvero e costruire un&#8217;immagine insieme. &#200; importante anche <strong>lavorare sul proprio ego</strong>: sei l&#236; per l&#8217;artista, che si affida al tuo occhio, e il risultato nasce dall&#8217;incontro tra le vostre sensibilit&#224;. Con Joan parto spesso dalla preparazione della pelle, da una coccola e un massaggio al viso. Poi lavoro sugli occhi, pi&#249; o meno enfatizzati in base alla situazione, e concludo con un po&#8217; di <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/42121/toasty-make-up-come-farlo-tutorial-prodotti">sun-kissed</a> e ridefinisco le labbra.

artist represented by Blend Management Milan/Paris. I have been working in make-up for about 12 years, including fashion, beauty, music and set. Born in the 90s, I was born and raised in Milan but I carry my Sardinian roots with me. I have always been very curious, I love to observe and I am attracted to images, music, dance, drawing and experimenting. I believe that this way of looking at things is still an important part of the way I work today</em>.&#8221; We intercepted her backstage at <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/47013/beauty-milano-fashion-week-primavera-estate-2027-trend">Milan</a> and <strong>Paris Fashion Week</strong>, and we let ourselves be told about her universe and her vision for <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/under%20the%20beauty%20radar">Under the Beauty Radar</a>. This is what he told us.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with make-up artist Serena Congiu</h2><p><strong>How would you define your visual style in three words?</strong></p><p>Varied, natural, expressive.</p><p><strong>When did you realize that this was going to be your path? Can you tell us about your journey?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I would have liked to do a thousand other things, but make-up remained the most <strong>natural and instinctive</strong> passion and kept coming back. I was already wearing makeup as <strong>a child</strong>: in kindergarten they took off the lipstick I was wearing from home and they told my mom that I couldn&#8217;t bring my makeup to school. For me it was <strong>a game</strong>, like dolls, cars, sheets and markers. At home I would leaf through the magazines and wonder who was behind the shootings to do the models&#8217; makeup, while marking eyes and lips with a pen. In high school I started experimenting on myself and, when I discovered the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala, I realized that I wanted to attend it. It was a very important year: I was finally focusing on something that I liked and enjoyed. After some experience in very different jobs, <strong>I decided to launch myself</strong>. After my first experiences at the theater, I started working on the sets, including video clips, shootings, fashion and then increasingly different jobs. From there, the journey grew, one job and one person at a time.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f71fcfc2-1c27-4281-b434-8ec01765e32c_2286x1716.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b1c5ac02-4065-4ba8-911e-6dcfa9242613_490x582.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/978547b1-7d45-4ec3-a639-68aeab55cb9b_1335x1651.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c148d216-1fe7-4ecf-a101-e3db83a60a49_1349x1687.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5a151411-f3de-43a8-8051-b29b91148795_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4f69b100-d089-41ac-80ad-6db0172aaa09_1024x1024.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9796b281-9447-4a14-9902-059ab1ec9236_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What is your favorite thing about working backstage at fashion shows and what, on the other hand, do you not love or weigh you down?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I really like the <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/46964/texture-skincare-ossessione-sensoriale-creme-asmr">preparation of the skin</a> and especially the <strong>moment of the final touch</strong>: you don&#8217;t have time left, you can make that last adjustment on the fly and then finally breathe, smile and drink that glass of water that you had forgotten. The part that weighs the most? I struggle to respond and immediately give a timeline if I am asked while I am finishing a micro detail with extreme concentration and precision. If I remain silent it&#8217;s only because maybe <strong>I&#8217;m also holding my breath</strong>, but I&#8217;ll be there in two seconds.</p><p><strong>You have worked on several occasions with Joan Thiele. What does it mean to follow someone so closely and create looks that reflect their personality and character?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We have known each other with <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/music/22570/selfie-interview-joan-thiele">Joan Thiele</a> for years: Giulia Achenza had called me to do makeup in the video of <strong>Armenia</strong> and from there a journey began together, of growth as women and as artists. Over time, <strong>friendship, support and trust</strong> have also been born. A special understanding is created with some artists, which allows us to really get to know each other and build an image together. It is also important <strong>to work on your ego</strong>: you are there for the artist, who trusts your eye, and the result comes from the encounter between your sensitivities. With Joan I often start by preparing my skin, a cuddle and a facial massage. Then I work on the eyes, more or less emphasized depending on the situation, and I conclude with a bit of <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/42121/toasty-make-up-come-farlo-tutorial-prodotti">sun-kissed</a> and redefine the lips. It already has a <strong>unique and strong beauty</strong>: make-up can accompany it, not cover it.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d009fcd8-0712-4601-8d5b-5a30f3f1d0e1_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6b56e33f-d714-445b-b8c3-4e451771ccd5_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3f1d70dc-6381-4226-af51-23686c0b1026_1440x1780.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/eeee1a42-8a83-498f-a3a6-30a9ef126390_1440x1440.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c200c1af-81c8-4f4e-b812-07b43b6b60c4_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0db7397f-6363-4d5b-9e17-be54ef7992b1_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d6060704-06b0-4af8-a037-03f8964d7008_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Can you tell us about your creative process? What do you take your inspiration from and how do you transpose that inspiration onto a face?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I take inspiration from magazines, <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/search/cinema">movies</a>, music, theater, video clips and fashion shows, but also from <strong>nature</strong> and from the <strong>people I see on the street</strong>. I immediately notice an unusual makeup or hairstyle detail. Sometimes I save something, other times it just sticks in my head. Then, when I do makeup, I am very <strong>instinctive</strong>. I&#8217;m not interested in replicating an image exactly: it <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/46954/rossetti-autunno-2026-colori-tendenze-labbra">changes based on my colors</a>, the face in front of me and what&#8217;s happening at that moment. It&#8217;s a bit like drawing: you have an idea and then <strong>the hand goes by itself</strong>. You can blend, mark, or remove makeup and redo. I like both the almost invisible make-up, which becomes part of the whole, and the more <strong>artistic</strong> one. In face painting, above all, <strong>I feel very free</strong>.</p><p><strong>For years, make-up was considered capable of expressing only one type of beauty, the traditional one. Today, however, what does makeup mean for you?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For me, makeup can express creativity, emotions, care or simply <strong>the pleasure of feeling better</strong>. Like when you put on your favorite shirt and you immediately feel more like yourself. Today, all possibilities can coexist: from the most natural beauty to <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/42667/full-glam-make-up-2016-ritorno-trucco-bold-gen-z">full glam</a>, from almost invisible makeup to the most eccentric makeup. I like this freedom of <strong>being able to choose how much to</strong> play and how much to dare.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/73e877a0-8f14-44be-a1eb-f24a151bec01_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b5ab15ad-1a6c-4347-a810-0766a34d0dde_1440x1631.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6cc5a6fd-3f01-4858-9d5b-e2424a866841_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c3323f7f-e83b-4983-819e-8f14d39aac2b_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>In an ideal world where anything is possible, who would you like to work with?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With <strong>Tilda Swinton</strong> it would be a dream and also with <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/35379/marina-abramovic-collezione-beauty">Marina</a> Abramovi&#263;. Taking a step back in time, with <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/lifestyle/35429/back-to-black-amy-winehouse-film-polemiche">Amy Winehouse</a>: I would have put on makeup and hugged her very tightly. <strong>Going back to today, I would gladly spend a day &#8220;dirtying&#8221; the gorgeous Sofia Isella with makeup.</strong> And I could continue in this ideal world with Siouxsie, Shirley Manson, Amy Taylor Sues...

I come from a family that&#8217;s been in fashion since the early &#8216;80s, and the first thing I really learned was clean, refined skin: true beauty makeup. Now, ten-plus years in, I&#8217;ve been pushing my creativity to balance that clean aesthetic with special effects techniques, elevating a beauty look <strong>into a full story</strong>. The goal is a finish so striking it looks almost <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/intelligenza%20artificiale">AI-generated</a>, the kind of work that makes the viewer ask how, why, and when can I try it myself?</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/385a05c4-823b-4f53-8a88-f89a3ed3e421_1125x1500.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d40d702a-d8c5-4646-83e3-801778ab5cd1_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3709af4e-625d-4195-b8a9-b0b91ea473fb_609x1066.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ed849ea5-4a6e-405f-a099-6f7df5ef4471_1125x1500.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f4865e8c-348e-4d88-9e70-745508348fb9_4096x2732.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c9fc5ef7-b72b-44f7-8ba4-279244441a35_568x740.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;sophie hartnett&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2e2301ff-85b2-45dd-aeb8-67a95265d3ee_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>When did you first realize that this was the path for you?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Coming from a family of creatives, I realized very early on that whenever I want to express myself, I do it <strong>through craft</strong>. Whether it was arts and crafts - papier-m&#226;ch&#233;, painting, collage or music - singing, songwriting, performing - it always came back to <strong>making things with my hands</strong>. Eventually that became painting on people&#8217;s faces. I knew my path was in art, and fashion and makeup became the way - not a new way, but my way - to express my view of the beauty industry and the world, and to create <strong>the makeup I want to see in it</strong>.</p><p><strong>Where do you draw inspiration from? Do you look to current trends and social media, or do you find it elsewhere?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I draw a lot of inspiration from the makeup artists who paved the road for beauty, <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/39535/kevyn-aucoin-make-up-artist-star">Kevyn Aucoin</a> and <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/pat%20mcgrath">Pat McGrath</a> are two of my strongest inspirations. Beyond that, I find so much in nature, from naturally occurring textures to <strong>sacred geometry</strong>. Trends and social media move fast, but I prefer to look elsewhere, to the masters and to the natural world.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6bbfd578-f6ef-47a0-a929-8c7054b89af7_3024x4032.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/40ec93fb-1d03-4674-a02f-a3de8871be7d_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6114c898-f113-4ddf-a191-3a09307e1152_1080x1346.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b0a05352-c762-46ab-8172-c7fcac8b3254_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>When did you realize that your aesthetic would lean non-traditional and, at times, even monstrous?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I knew from an early age that I wasn&#8217;t one to follow trends, I&#8217;ve always been more inspired by<strong> the off, the unknown, the weird</strong>. And I love that in 2026, that&#8217;s being celebrated more than ever; I&#8217;m so happy to be working in this era. I do believe every trend bases itself in something real. Would I call myself <strong>monstrous</strong>? Maybe not, but as a powerful <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/leone">double Leo</a>, I&#8217;d say I&#8217;m daring. I&#8217;m willing and ready to <strong>push boundaries</strong> and create a real wow factor, always grounded in timeless, beautiful makeup.</p><p><strong>What is beauty and what is ugliness to you in life and in your work?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Beauty, for me, is like <strong>a major chord</strong>. It makes you happy, makes you feel content and stable, it makes you feel warm inside. That&#8217;s the bass for my makeup: clean, beautiful skin, an approachable eye, something timeless, something you&#8217;ve seen before. But then I like to incorporate what you&#8217;d call <strong>the ugliness</strong>: the weird, the unknown, the questionable, like a minor chord set against the major. <strong>They both live in the same world</strong>, they can exist in harmony, and that&#8217;s what I aim to create.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/88021d19-3ed7-4b05-9540-edd4912513c7_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a5c50747-5563-46b2-913e-099bdbe473d3_2664x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/37a6002d-d4b8-470f-b17f-81065f930e6b_1600x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/693e2a53-86d4-4c51-b0d1-e46ad112eb4c_2075x3130.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/16c419c4-d663-46c2-a5aa-42302c5dbf1b_1125x1684.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/af5253be-2b45-429c-b7b3-ac793f425a22_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6e49bb4c-1b64-47aa-bf6b-04f9015c625c_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>How does your approach shift when working on a runway show, a photoshoot, or a more personal, artistic project? Do you notice any key differences in your process?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love working <strong>runways</strong>. A lot of people I&#8217;ve worked with have said I&#8217;m fast, and that&#8217;s something I hold very dear. I&#8217;m quick with my art, but very intentional. I especially love doing a runway when I&#8217;m keying, like I did for Pipenco&#8217;s last spring/summer fashion week show. I created the look, pulled a team together, and put my vision forward in a quick, seamless way. A <strong>photoshoot</strong> feels completely different, because you&#8217;re not just collaborating with the designer, there&#8217;s the hairstylist, the photographer, and the magazine, and together we all collaborate and put something forward that we might never have gotten to without each other. For my <strong>personal projects</strong>, I&#8217;ve been working with one of my favorite hairstylists, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivainsane/?hl=it">Jenni Iva</a>. It&#8217;s just the two of us: creating from a concept, finding a model, shooting, editing, all the way through to publishing it ourselves. Lately that&#8217;s been <strong>the most exciting thing for me</strong>, taking something from the very beginning of a concept all the way to the end, to posting it and sharing it with the world. Each of these spaces brings out a <strong>different side of me as an artist</strong>, they&#8217;re all different in their own way.</p><p><strong>What was it like working with Julia Fox for Luis De Javier?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Recently I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to work with icons and legends like J<a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/julia%20fox">ulia Fox</a>, <strong>Slayyyter</strong>, Dominique Jackson, Daniela Lalita, Cailin Russo, Jazzelle aka Ugly Worldwide, <strong>Peaches</strong>, and so many more. Getting to work with people who have their own vision and their own persona has elevated me as an artist, because <strong>I&#8217;m not just creating for me</strong> and my vision. I get to create <strong>inside their world</strong>, inside their vision, and that has helped me so much in my career. It&#8217;s made me <strong>adaptable</strong>, I can take my weird and wacky and beautiful and weave it together with their weird and wacky and beautiful.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0089d88c-9d63-4ada-89fd-4e30ca9fd18d_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/45956608-2cb5-406d-bf44-d75d4f7cd807_1080x1346.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e860dc4e-a76e-4f33-92be-63ba76c79fee_1080x1122.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/652eab4d-9e06-47b7-b30a-7fb18f8c3203_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What does the future hold for your artistic research?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The future is always unknown for me</strong>, and I try to find the beauty in that every day. I&#8217;m always finding a new image that inspires me, a new artist I&#8217;d love to work with, a new song that brings up an emotion and pushes me to create something I never would have. I hope to work with more amazing musicians and artists, and to collaborate with more creatives in my industry and out of my industry. I&#8217;m excited for the next year and new beginnings, and <strong>I hope you&#8217;ll stay tuned</strong>!</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading nss g-club!

Questo &#232; quello che ci ha raccontato.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista a Sophie Hartnett, make-up artist di Brooklyn</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Quali sono tre parole che descrivono la tua estetica?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Senza tempo</strong>, <strong>giocosa</strong> e <strong>audace</strong>. Vengo da una famiglia che lavora nella moda dai primi anni &#8216;80, e la prima cosa che ho imparato &#232; stata l&#8217;importanza di avere una pelle pulita e curata: il trucco nella sua forma pi&#249; pura. Oggi, dopo pi&#249; di dieci anni di carriera, cerco di spingere la mia creativit&#224; al massimo per bilanciare quell&#8217;<strong>estetica essenziale</strong> con gli <strong>effetti speciali</strong>, trasformando un beauty look in una storia.

Che si trattasse di lavoretti artistici - carta pesta, pittura, collage - o di musica - cantare, scrivere canzoni, esibirmi - alla fine tornavo sempre al <strong>fare le cose con le mani</strong>. E col tempo, tutto questo si &#232; trasformato nel dipingere i volti delle persone. Sapevo che il mio futuro sarebbe stato nell&#8217;arte: la moda e il trucco sono diventati il mezzo per <strong>esprimere la mia visione del mondo</strong> e della bellezza e per creare il make-up che io stessa vorrei vedere in giro.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Da dove trai ispirazione? Ti lasci guidare dai trend attuali e dai social media o cerchi altrove?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Prendo moltissima ispirazione dai make-up artist che hanno aperto la strada al mondo del beauty: <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/39535/kevyn-aucoin-make-up-artist-star">Kevyn Aucoin</a> e <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/pat%20mcgrath">Pat McGrath</a> sono due dei miei punti di riferimento pi&#249; forti. Oltre a loro, trovo tantissimo <strong>nella natura</strong>, dalle texture spontanee alla geometria. Le tendenze e i social media corrono veloci, ma io preferisco <strong>guardare altrove</strong>: ai grandi maestri e al mondo naturale.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0a6b4c28-f9fe-4b30-8cbd-d29291e0940a_3024x4032.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/52b6f2c9-2789-4fcb-a802-aff4940a9e75_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/62a5eb3a-a139-4a1e-9df6-e2cad4bc2e01_1080x1346.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6b06b789-5de0-45d2-9b11-cb139a08da21_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Quando ti sei resa conto che la tua estetica avrebbe virato verso il non convenzionale e, a volte, persino verso il mostruoso?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ho sempre saputo di non essere <strong>il tipo di persona che segue i trend</strong>; sono sempre stata pi&#249; affascinata dal diverso, dall&#8217;ignoto, dallo strano. E amo il fatto che nel 2026 tutto questo venga<strong> celebrato</strong>, sono felicissima di lavorare in quest&#8217;epoca. Credo davvero che ogni tendenza nasca da qualcosa di autentico. Mi definirei &#8220;mostruosa&#8221;? Forse no, ma da <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/leone">Leone</a> ascendente <strong>Leone</strong>, direi che sono sicuramente <strong>audace</strong>. Sono pronta e desiderosa di spostare i limiti e creare un vero <strong>effetto wow</strong>, mantenendo per&#242; sempre le basi di un trucco bello e senza tempo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cos&#8217;&#232; per te la bellezza e cos&#8217;&#232; la bruttezza nella vita e nel tuo lavoro?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per me la bellezza &#232; come un accordo maggiore. Ti rende felice, ti fa sentire appagata e serena, ti scalda dentro. Questa &#232; la base del mio make-up: una <strong>pelle pulita e radiosa</strong>, uno sguardo accessibile, qualcosa di intramontabile che hai gi&#224; visto. Ma poi mi piace inserire quella che <strong>si potrebbe definire bruttezza</strong> - lo strano, l&#8217;ignoto, il bizzarro -, un po&#8217; come un accordo minore sovrapposto al maggiore. <strong>Vivono entrambi nello stesso spazio</strong>, possono coesistere in perfetta armonia, ed &#232; proprio questo che cerco di creare.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e4a2c704-6abf-4437-ae18-33badfd9882d_1600x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5953abd8-1c41-455c-86cb-48c364f540c9_2075x3130.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1eaf0cdd-8e1c-4028-8850-715b6f7bb1c1_1125x1684.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/beb6b517-f746-4dc6-b4b0-6ce35aa6f328_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Come cambia il tuo approccio quando lavori per una sfilata, uno shooting fotografico o un progetto artistico pi&#249; personale? Noti differenze chiave nel tuo processo creativo?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adoro lavorare alle sfilate. Molte persone con cui ho collaborato dicono che sono <strong>velocissima</strong>, ed &#232; una cosa a cui tengo molto: sono rapida nella mia arte, ma sempre molto <strong>precisa e intenzionale</strong>. Amo fare le sfilate soprattutto quando firmo il look come lead artist, come mi &#232; successo per l&#8217;ultimo show Primavera/Estate di <strong>Pipenco</strong>. Ho ideato il concept, guidato il team e portato avanti la mia visione in modo fluido. Uno shooting fotografico ha un&#8217;atmosfera completamente <strong>diversa</strong>: non stai collaborando solo con lo stilista, ma ci sono l&#8217;hairstylist, il fotografo e la testata. Insieme uniamo le forze per creare qualcosa a cui nessuno di noi sarebbe mai arrivato da solo. Per i miei progetti personali, invece, lavoro spesso con una delle mie hairstylist preferite, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivainsane/?hl=it">Jenni Iva</a>. Siamo solo noi due: partiamo dall&#8217;idea, cerchiamo la modella, scattiamo, facciamo l&#8217;editing, fino ad arrivare alla pubblicazione. Ultimamente &#232; <strong>la cosa che mi entusiasma di pi&#249;</strong>: curare un concept dall&#8217;inizio alla fine, fino al momento di condividerlo con il mondo. Ciascuno di questi contesti tira fuori <strong>un lato diverso della mia identit&#224; artistica</strong>; ognuno &#232; unico a suo modo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Com&#8217;&#232; stato lavorare con Julia Fox per Luis De Javier?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Di recente ho avuto l&#8217;opportunit&#224; di lavorare con icone e leggende del calibro di <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/lifestyle/36669/julia-fox-castita-bumble-polemica">Julia Fox</a>, <strong>Slayyyter</strong>, Dominique Jackson, Daniela Lalita, Cailin Russo, Jazzelle (aka Ugly Worldwide), Peaches e tantissime altre. Poter collaborare con persone che hanno una propria visione e una propria identit&#224; cos&#236; forte <strong>mi ha fatto crescere enormemente</strong> come artista, perch&#233; non creo pi&#249; solo per me stessa e per la mia estetica. Ho il privilegio di entrare nel loro mondo, e questo ha dato <strong>una svolta alla mia carriera</strong>. Mi ha resa estremamente <strong>versatile</strong>: riesco a prendere il mio tocco strano, stravagante e bello e a mixarlo con il loro universo, altrettanto strano, stravagante e bellissimo.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/69f780e0-fa16-49b0-b7b5-e22d45950c57_1125x1358.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3d47f45-431a-492d-b018-68f30312f152_3358x4197.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/78901ccc-f513-45cc-bb34-87af58d9cc98_1600x2240.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3f92630f-a78e-4520-a425-c4ca06052fd0_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cosa c&#8217;&#232; nel futuro della tua ricerca artistica?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per me il futuro &#232; sempre <strong>un&#8217;incognita</strong>, cerco di coglierne la bellezza ogni singolo giorno. Trovo continuamente una nuova immagine che mi ispira, un nuovo artista con cui mi piacerebbe collaborare, una nuova canzone che mi muove dentro qualcosa e mi spinge a creare cose che <strong>non avrei mai immaginato</strong>. Spero di lavorare con altri incredibili musicisti e artisti, e di collaborare con creativi sia dentro che fuori dal mio settore.

Our new installment after the hot hot summer is dedicated to <strong>Flavie Delobbel</strong>, face slayer, makeup artist and hairstylist. In her words, her vision of makeup and beauty is always changing and evolving, and has its roots in creativity and art, in <strong>things you can do with your hands</strong>. Here&#8217;s what she told us.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with the makeup artist Flavie Delobbel</h2><p><strong>How would you define your aesthetic in 3 words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Surreal, graphic and experimental.</p><p><strong>Can you tell us how your journey began and how you found your creative expression?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have always worked with my hands for as long as I can remember. I have loved <strong>drawing</strong>, <strong>painting</strong>, and <strong>sculpting</strong> since I was a kid. I grew up in a really creative family who let me explore art <strong>from a very young age</strong>. I always knew I would work in the creative and art field. It was a part of my identity; I felt it in my soul. I started playing with makeup around <strong>eight years old</strong>, stealing products from my mom&#8217;s vanity. I really loved the bright pink lipstick she was applying every morning. At 11 years old, I started drawing makeup looks, doing research, and looking at fashion shows&#8230; And from there, it just grew sporadically around me. I was dreaming of becoming a makeup artist <strong>in Paris</strong>, working on shows and campaigns. After high school, I spent a few years studying art in Paris, both plastic arts and theory. After that, I took a regular retail job. At 22, I finally <strong>stepped out of my comfort zone</strong>, quit my boring retail job, and committed to a makeup school in Paris (DMAI Paris). I graduated and started my business. <strong>Best choice</strong> I have ever made in my whole life. I am now working full-time in the fashion field; a dream come true.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/11edf8b3-2304-4729-8042-d07c27562939_1024x1536.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/715f07a9-a8d1-4d20-bfa9-c72fddb8e24b_3464x3464.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7bb27fee-8059-4caf-a68a-f765f369150f_3000x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/89ec3bd6-9d2b-4e62-a09b-6b055914a391_3000x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/35f94e8f-930a-44ef-a67b-9fb8e941fbad_1024x1536.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cf078293-c771-4526-947b-2e59d800e935_2853x3565.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;flavie delobell&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/69be99b1-2814-4b09-95d6-d726c6dee253_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>When you start creating a look, what comes first: the face, the idea, the mood, or the product?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For me, it always starts with <strong>the story I am working on</strong>. The first step is understanding what <strong>purpose</strong> the makeup is going to serve, and what feeling I need or want to convey. But I&#8217;d say I&#8217;m really the kind of person who goes with the feeling in my gut.</p><p><strong>Where does your inspiration comes from? Is there a particular medium (film, music, art, literature etc.) that has especially influenced the way you see beauty?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My inspiration comes <strong>from all sorts of things</strong>. I am a really visual person; I love observing details. I&#8217;d say I take a lot of inspiration from nature (landscapes, insects, fauna and flora) but also <strong>from art</strong> in general: paintings, films, sculpture&#8230; I studied art for a few years at university, which I think really influenced the way I see things and approach any form of art. I&#8217;m really into <strong>analyzing things</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/48e16522-cd41-4e98-b4cb-1396cb8b664a_3159x3948.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/971b3113-7ae6-4768-b274-efdd4a4a35fd_3806x5708.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/262d1a68-b356-4192-8bcb-871c968e3773_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9ff1fd5b-e1dc-4c27-a244-a6fc425ad7da_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What&#8217;s a makeup memory that still feels special to you, even if it has nothing to do with your work as a makeup artist?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Something I love to remember is <strong>my mother getting ready</strong> really early in the morning. I would step out of my room, the house still in the dark. Only the warm light of the bathroom was pulling me out of my sleep. I would just follow the light to say good morning to my mother. And there she was, packing on a ton of <strong>Guerlain Terracotta</strong> to feel &#8220;tan&#8221; and applying loads of <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/mascara">black mascara</a>, followed by a thick layer of bright fuchsia lipstick. I can still remember <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/44773/profumi-note-cosmetici-cipria-rossetto">the smell</a> of the powders mixing with her perfume. I think it really started here.</p><p><strong>Is there a makeup trend you don&#8217;t feel connected to, and one your particularly love?</strong></p><p>I think I&#8217;m really one of those people who says, &#8220;Just have fun with makeup.&#8221; I don&#8217;t really care too much about what&#8217;s on-brand or what isn&#8217;t. I just think the best way to do makeup is <strong>to have fun</strong> and <strong>play with it</strong>. So just go for it. Go grotesque, go minimal, go invisible, go full-on&#8230; <strong>as long as you feel good</strong>. And if calling your makeup &#8220;<a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/44928/matcha-make-up-2026-make-up-trend">Matcha Latte</a>&#8221; or &#8220;<a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/clean%20girl">Clean Girl</a>&#8221; makes you feel good and empowered, you&#8217;re already winning.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1d698652-4313-49b4-a46a-2a7bbcc7d8f3_5950x7438.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0ac59445-50f7-4987-b60a-901405458e00_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3b7ff254-dfca-4f98-bed9-3c8d5e3321fa_1542x2313.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/01d070b1-6f68-4288-8d17-f0c670647db2_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Looking ahead, where do you see your creative journey taking you? Is there someone you&#8217;d dream working with or a project you&#8217;d love to bring to life?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I hope to meet even more <strong>creative minds</strong> who challenge my own. There is no better feeling than that. Twisting minds to create beautiful, and sometimes <strong>twisted</strong>, beauty. And of course, I would love to work with some amazing photographers like Nadia Lee Cohen, <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/lifestyle/34291/chi-e-petra-collinshttps://www.nssgclub.com/it/lifestyle/34291/chi-e-petra-collins">Petra Collins</a>, Elizaveta Porodina, K&#233;vin Drelon&#8230; And many, many other cool people.</p><p><strong>Your work feels quite far from traditional ideas of beauty. What does &#8220;beauty&#8221; mean to you now?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To me, beauty is an empowerment to the people who pronounce it. Beauty has no lines, shapes, colors, or forms. <strong>Beauty can be everything and its opposite</strong>. Beauty is truly designed by everybody, everywhere, in everything. Own it; feel creative with this concept. Beauty is what you want it to be. Beauty is a conversation, a glance, a thought. Not something that you look at, but something <strong>that you feel</strong>.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Il nostro nuovo appuntamento dopo la caldissima estate &#232; dedicato a <strong>Flavie Delobbel</strong>, face slayer, make-up artist e hairstylist. Nelle sue parole, la sua visione del trucco e della bellezza &#232; in continuo mutamento ed evoluzione, e affonda le sue radici nella creativit&#224;, nell&#8217;arte e nelle <strong>cose che si possono fare con le mani</strong>. Ecco cosa ci ha raccontato.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista alla make-up artist Flavie Delobbel</h2><p><strong>Come definiresti la tua estetica in 3 parole?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Surreale, grafica e sperimentale.</p><p><strong>Ci racconti com&#8217;&#232; iniziato il tuo percorso e come hai trovato il tuo personale modo di creare e di esprimerti?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lavoro con le mani da sempre. Da bambina amavo <strong>disegnare</strong>, <strong>dipingere</strong> e <strong>scolpire</strong>. Sono cresciuta in una famiglia creativa che mi ha permesso di esplorare l&#8217;arte <strong>fin da piccolissima</strong>. Ho sempre saputo che avrei lavorato nel settore artistico e creativo. Faceva parte della mia identit&#224;, lo sentivo nell&#8217;anima. Ho iniziato a giocare con il trucco verso gli <strong>otto anni</strong>, rubando i prodotti di mia madre. Amavo alla follia il rossetto rosa acceso che metteva ogni mattina. A 11 anni ho iniziato a disegnare look make-up, a fare ricerche, a guardare le sfilate di moda&#8230; E da l&#236; la cosa &#232; cresciuta spontaneamente. Sognavo di diventare una make-up artist <strong>a Parigi</strong>, lavorando per sfilate e campagne. Dopo il liceo ho studiato arte a Parigi per un paio d&#8217;anni, sia arti plastiche che teoria. Dopodich&#233; ho iniziato a lavorare nel retail. A 22 anni sono finalmente <strong>uscita dalla mia comfort zone</strong>, ho lasciato il lavoro da commessa e mi sono iscritta a una scuola di make-up a Parigi (DMAI Paris). Mi sono diplomata e ho aperto la mia attivit&#224;. La <strong>scelta migliore</strong> che potessi fare in tutta la mia vita. Ora lavoro a tempo pieno nella moda: un sogno che si avvera.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8bd22a27-06bc-47eb-88c1-b7fd11fa4cae_1024x1536.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/56def361-807f-4c2d-9042-a1999713f1a9_3464x3464.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/88b16a74-ba65-4faa-83a8-2ec4051df845_3000x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d8a46b97-e40e-47aa-8d78-8501df23a95a_3000x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4d6bf9bc-f4a3-4832-938d-79d897fd0ebf_1024x1536.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ea63ca3b-a2e0-42be-87f7-58e4a57b05b1_2853x3565.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;flavie delobbel make-up artist&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a487d8d9-1262-4a86-b957-4d742e5b0e74_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Quando inizi a creare un look, da cosa parti?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per me inizia sempre tutto dalla <strong>storia a cui sto lavorando</strong>. Il primo passo &#232; capire a quale <strong>scopo</strong> servir&#224; il trucco e quale sensazione devo o voglio trasmettere. Ma direi che sono decisamente il tipo di persona che si lascia guidare dall&#8217;istinto.</p><p><strong>Da dove arriva la tua ispirazione? C&#8217;&#232; un medium in particolare (cinema, musica, arte, letteratura ecc.) che ha influenzato il tuo modo di vedere la bellezza?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">La mia ispirazione arriva <strong>da qualsiasi cosa</strong>. Sono una persona molto visiva, amo osservare i dettagli. Traggo molta ispirazione dalla natura (paesaggi, insetti, flora e fauna) ma anche <strong>dall&#8217;arte</strong> in generale: pittura, cinema, scultura&#8230; Ho studiato arte per qualche anno all&#8217;universit&#224;, e credo che questo abbia influenzato il mio modo di vedere le cose e di approcciarmi a qualsiasi forma artistica. Mi piace <strong>analizzare tutto ci&#242; che mi circonda</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/55b49233-be64-43bf-96c9-f931a85ed4c4_3159x3948.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bb5cb820-1f30-48fe-979b-8f6fce627522_3806x5708.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ce0dbc2c-7e4a-4249-92bc-b57ffbb344ac_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c77f15ac-9c53-4b97-95af-63e4dd6d8f3b_5950x7438.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ceb27faf-4b61-41ba-935b-69d97afa98f2_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f24eb2c2-a009-46b7-a1a8-c43c108a9325_1542x2313.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;intervista make-up&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ed1aa3cc-bd09-4f56-b920-ce7e89d2da52_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Qual &#232; un ricordo legato al trucco che ti &#232; rimasto nel cuore, anche se non ha nulla a che fare con il tuo lavoro da make-up artist?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Un ricordo che amo rievocare &#232; <strong>mia madre che si preparava</strong> la mattina presto. Uscivo dalla mia stanza quando la casa era ancora al buio e solo la luce calda del bagno mi svegliava. Seguivo quella luce per andare a darle il buongiorno. Ed eccola l&#236;, a stendersi tonnellate di <strong>Guerlain Terracotta</strong> per sentirsi &#8220;abbronzata&#8221; e ad applicare strati di <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/search/mascara">mascara nero</a>, seguito da uno strato spesso di rossetto fucsia. Ricordo ancora <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/44773/profumi-note-cosmetici-cipria-rossetto">il profumo</a> delle polveri che si fondeva con la sua fragranza preferita. Penso sia iniziato tutto da l&#236;.</p><p><strong>C&#8217;&#232; un trend make-up a cui non ti senti legata e uno che invece ami particolarmente?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sono una di quelle persone che dicono: &#8220;Divertitevi con il trucco&#8221;. Non mi importa granch&#233; di cosa sia di tendenza o meno. Penso solo che il modo migliore di truccarsi sia <strong>divertirsi</strong> e <strong>sperimentare</strong>. Quindi buttatevi. Scegliete il grottesco, il minimale, l&#8217;invisibile, il full-glam&#8230; <strong>l&#8217;importante &#232; che vi faccia sentire bene</strong>.

Non c&#8217;&#232; sensazione migliore al mondo. Intrecciare le idee per creare una bellezza visivamente potente e, a volte, <strong>distorta</strong>.

Cosa significa per te &#8220;bellezza&#8221; oggi?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per me la bellezza &#232; un atto di emancipazione per chi la rivendica. La bellezza non ha linee, forme, colori o schemi rigidi. <strong>La bellezza pu&#242; essere tutto e il contrario di tutto</strong>. &#200; plasmata da chiunque, ovunque e in qualsiasi cosa. Fatela vostra, sentitevi liberi di creare. La bellezza &#232; ci&#242; che volete che sia. &#200; una conversazione, uno sguardo, un pensiero. Non qualcosa che si guarda soltanto, ma qualcosa <strong>che si sente</strong>.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

<strong>consistency </strong>between clothes and make-up, between face and body. If you have thought that, in fact, the emotion that snakes on the catwalk can also be seen on the models&#8217; faces - and whether they are made up in a fresh and natural way, colored or glow, dark and melancholic does not matter - then there is a high probability that you have had the privilege and pleasure of observing make-up looks created by<strong> Michele Magnani and his team</strong>. We ourselves met him <strong>backstage at Milan Fashion Week</strong>, always available to tell us everything, even in the chaos behind the scenes. For this reason, he seemed like an excellent candidate for<strong> Under the Beauty Radar,</strong> our column dedicated to professionals, especially those who travel under the radar&#8230; literally. This is what he told us.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with Michele Magnani, Global Senior Artist for MAC Cosmetics</h2><p><strong>Introduce yourself to our audience</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My name is <strong>Michele Magnani </strong>and I have been a make-up artist for over twenty-five years. Today I hold the role of<strong> Global Senior Artist for MAC Cosmetics</strong>. I started when this profession was very different from today: there were no social networks, there was no idea of the make-up artist as a character. There was only a desire to learn and to do their job well. Even the products available were not as many as they are now, and for this reason <strong>experimentation is part of my way of interpreting my profession</strong>. In recent years I have been lucky enough to work in more than 80 fashion weeks around the world, in the countryside, with photographers, designers, celebrities and to meet people from all over the world. But, if I have to be honest, what still excites me today is exactly the same thing that excited me on the first day: <strong>hitting the mark</strong>, seeing a person looking in the mirror and feeling good. Recognize yourself! <strong>Make-up is my language</strong>. It&#8217;s the way I found to tell emotions through texture and color, identity and character<strong> without the need for words</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7b088f8f-9aad-41d1-953b-5fb64e8e729a_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/27c8f1c9-e537-45db-8325-676b63e8eae5_1440x1593.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd4abaa0-be81-4569-b9b4-023871ededa4_1440x1593.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3d696168-e5f8-4d32-b257-62f747e40611_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>How would you define your visual style in three words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Authentic. Intentional. Emotiona</strong>l. I like that every choice has a meaning and to tell it. I don&#8217;t believe in makeup done just to amaze. Even the most creative look must express something about the person or story it wants to represent. The beauty that interests me is <strong>not the perfect one</strong>, but the one that, due to its simplicity or technique,<strong> leaves a mark</strong> on the memory and an emotion in those who look at it.</p><p><strong>When did you realize that this would be your job?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think I <strong>understood it</strong> long before I had the courage to <strong>admit it</strong>. As a child, I constantly drew faces, I watched my mom and sister wear makeup fascinated, I observed people, colors, light. I was curious how a detail could completely change an expression or an image. Then, after a few years as a freelancer, <strong>MAC came along</strong> and changed my life. It gave me a creative home, but above all it taught me that make-up could also be <strong>art, culture, freedom of expression and above all inclusion</strong>. From that moment on, I had no doubts.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/96c8bf19-d7f2-4e26-a8c5-627bf667d7c6_640x640.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fae8faa4-bbfe-4ba0-8700-ddccb0d092f6_1147x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/830d728f-96e5-47d1-ae27-9cef55ff935e_640x793.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7a1389ae-d501-4ec2-af20-4b08784cd7e8_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>You are the king of backstage fashion shows. What do you like best and what, on the other hand, do you not like about the backstage environment?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Backstage is the place where fashion is the truest</strong>. From the outside you can see the glamor. From the inside you can see the work, the effort, the respect for the times, the collaboration and that strong <strong>positive tension</strong> that is created a few minutes before a fashion show begins. It&#8217;s a perfectly <strong>organized chaos</strong>. What I love is just that energy. Very different people who, for a few hours, work with a single objective, on a shared project. There is no ego when <strong>time is running out</strong>: there is only teamwork. What I have the hardest time accepting is <strong>superficiality.</strong> When the ego takes over collaboration. Fashion may seem like a light world, but in reality it requires discipline, study and a lot of humility. When appearance is stronger than competence, <strong>it loses appeal</strong>. </p><p><strong>You work with MAC Cosmetics. When was this synergy born and what does it mean for you to work with such an iconic brand?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I joined MAC in 2001, exactly <strong>25 years ago</strong> and, looking back, I realize that it was not simply a job. It was where I grew up as an artist and primarily as a person. MAC has taught me not to be afraid of creativity, provocation or alternative makeup, but also to have enormous<strong> respect for those who sit in my chair</strong>. One thing I always say is that the products, on their own, don&#8217;t speak. Make-up artists are the ones who give them a voice. Through gesture, technique and interpretation, taking care of ourselves, we transform a lipstick, eye shadow or foundation<strong> into an emotion</strong>. And that&#8217;s what continues to fascinate me.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ba4a056e-0413-45c2-9d30-65e905af3dd7_1066x1135.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e6e31e66-8457-439c-81ad-e2b0d0bfb547_1094x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fdbaeaa8-91a9-4b98-a29c-809f17f6c727_1170x1470.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d02cc271-9453-4d45-836d-c3dfdbcdb2d7_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Tell us how a fashion show look was created, from the creative director&#8217;s idea to its creation</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It all starts<strong> with a conversation</strong> (test day). The creative director recounts an emotion before even talking about make-up. It can be a woman who just came out of the sea, a party at 5 in the morning, a childhood memory, a movie, a painting or simply a feeling. Our job is to translate that vision into<strong> something that can live on a face</strong>. From there, a <strong>continuous dialogue</strong> began with hairstylist, stylist, casting director and photographer. You do tests, you change your mind, you remove elements, you add details. The hardest thing is to find the point where make-up stops being the protagonist and becomes an <strong>integral part of the story</strong>. When it happens, the look really works.</p><p><strong>What do you get your inspiration from?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>From life</strong>. From trips, from museums, from photography, from cinema, from architecture, but above all <strong>from peopl</strong>e. I like to watch how they move, how they talk, what they wear, even how they fix their hair. I believe that creativity stems from attention and from <strong>the desire to understand others</strong>. The more you observe the world with all its differences with curiosity, the more you have something to tell.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2d721e9d-cf53-4ae4-a549-6d70a891f73c_1170x1321.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/562e6c82-6e2a-4b67-9548-a29a5d39f709_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2ebf578c-c593-4429-98b2-85d0a8f35446_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b78d147c-926f-4726-a369-c5590ef2eaee_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>How do you relate to trends? Do you follow them or do you try to create them?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Trends are <strong>a photograph of the present</strong>. I like to study them because they tell the historical moment we are living in, but<strong> I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s our job to follow them</strong>. I prefer to interpret them or anticipate them. The difference between a trend and a style is that the former passes, while the latter continues to <strong>talk about you even when fashion changes</strong>.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s in your future?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I hope I never<strong> lose my curiosity</strong>. The thirst to know. I would like to continue working in fashion, create new projects, talk about make-up also through training and help new generations of artists to find their voice. If there&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve learned over the years, it&#8217;s that success doesn&#8217;t match a goal. It coincides with the possibility of continuing to <strong>get excited</strong>. And that is what I hope for the coming years.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Se avete pensato che, in effetti, l&#8217;emozione che serpeggia in passerella si nota anche sul viso delle modelle - e che siano truccate in maniera fresca e naturale, colorate o glow, dark e malinconiche non importa - allora esiste un&#8217;alta probabilit&#224; che avete avuto il privilegio e il piacere di osservare dei look make-up realizzati da <strong>Michele Magnani</strong> e il suo team.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Noi stesse lo abbiamo conosciuto nei <strong>backstage della Milano Fashion Week,</strong> sempre disponibile a raccontarci tutto, anche nel caos del dietro le quinte. Per questo, ci &#232; sembrato un ottimo candidato per <strong>Under the Beauty Rada</strong>r, la nostra rubrica dedicata agli addetti ai lavori, soprattutto quelli che viaggiano sotto i radar. Questo &#232; quello che ci ha raccontato.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista a Michele Magnani, Global Senior Artist per MAC Cosmetics</h2><p><strong>Presentati al nostro pubblico</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mi chiamo <strong>Michele Magnani </strong>e faccio il make-up artist da oltre venticinque anni. Oggi ricopro il ruolo di <strong>Global Senior Artist per MAC Cosmetics</strong>. Ho iniziato quando questo mestiere era molto diverso da oggi: non c&#8217;erano i social, non esisteva l&#8217;idea del make-up artist come personaggio. C&#8217;era solo il desiderio di imparare e di fare bene il proprio lavoro. Anche i prodotti disponibili non erano tanti come adesso, e per questo <strong>la sperimentazione</strong> fa parte del mio modo di interpretare la mia professione. In questi anni ho avuto la fortuna di lavorare in pi&#249; di <strong>80 fashion week</strong> in giro per il mondo, nelle campagne, con fotografi, stilisti, celebrit&#224; e di incontrare persone provenienti da <strong>tutto il globo</strong>. Ma, se devo essere sincero, quello che mi emoziona ancora oggi &#232; esattamente la stessa cosa che mi emozionava il primo giorno: colpire nel segno, vedere una persona <strong>guardarsi allo specchio e sentirsi bene</strong>. Riconoscersi! Il make-up &#232; il mio linguaggio. &#200; il modo che ho trovato per <strong>raccontare emozioni </strong>attraverso texture e colore, identit&#224; e carattere senza bisogno di parole.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c962f221-cbbe-4898-ab89-b20f2e275f7d_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/32d8bf57-cff9-40a0-95ed-02829c99ab80_1440x1593.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d804ffc2-6488-4c0f-a3d5-876e4cf6b2b9_1440x1593.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;michele magnani make-up artist mac&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c79954f5-94dc-413e-a519-0357f85046f8_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Come definiresti il tuo stile visivo in tre parole?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Autentico. Intenzionale. Emotivo.</strong> Mi piace che ogni scelta abbia un significato e raccontarlo. Non credo nel make-up fatto solo per stupire. Anche il look pi&#249; creativo deve esprimere qualcosa della persona o della storia che vuole rappresentare. La bellezza che mi interessa non &#232; quella perfetta, ma quella che, per essenzialit&#224; o tecnica, <strong>lascia un segno</strong> nella memoria e un&#8217;emozione in chi lo guarda.</p><p><strong>Quando hai capito che questo sarebbe stato il tuo lavoro?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Credo di averlo capito molto prima di avere il coraggio di ammetterlo. Da bambino disegnavo continuamente volti, guardavo affascinato mia mamma e mia sorella truccarsi, osservavo le persone, i colori, la luce. Mi incuriosiva il modo in cui un dettaglio potesse cambiare completamente un&#8217;espressione o un immagine. Poi, dopo qualche anno come freelance, <strong>&#232; arrivato MAC e ha cambiato la mia vita</strong>. Mi ha dato una casa creativa, ma soprattutto mi ha insegnato che il make-up poteva essere anche <strong>arte, cultura, libert&#224; di espressione e soprattutto inclusione</strong>. Da quel momento non ho pi&#249; avuto dubbi.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c90613db-d9af-4e1c-b6c1-4f1c3e7fb7db_640x640.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/02064783-60dc-4f23-bf39-22faf6c09399_1147x1600.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6515add9-fe60-4f0d-a4ed-e068798b1652_640x793.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;michele magnani intervista&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a2d99fe4-255c-412e-8c8b-89cde1d55ca1_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Sei il re dei backstage delle sfilate. Cosa ti piace di pi&#249; e cosa, invece, non sopporti dell&#8217;ambiente del dietro le quinte?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il backstage &#232; il luogo <strong>dove la moda &#232; pi&#249; vera</strong>. Da fuori si vede il glamour. Da dentro si vedono il lavoro, la fatica, il rispetto dei tempi, la collaborazione e quella forte tensione positiva che si crea pochi minuti prima che inizi una sfilata. &#200; un caos perfettamente organizzato. Quello che amo &#232; proprio quell&#8217;energia. Persone diversissime che, per qualche ora, lavorano con un unico obiettivo, ad un progetto condiviso. <strong>Non esiste ego</strong> quando il tempo stringe: esiste solo il lavoro di squadra.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quello che faccio pi&#249; fatica ad accettare &#232; <strong>la superficialit&#224;</strong>. Quando l&#8217;ego prende il sopravvento sulla collaborazione. La moda pu&#242; sembrare un mondo leggero, ma in realt&#224; richiede <strong>disciplina, studio e tantissima umilt&#224;</strong>. Quando l&#8217;apparenza &#232; pi&#249; forte della competenza, perde fascino. Pi&#249; che un &#8220;Re&#8221; nel senso di un monarca, mi piace pensarmi come <strong>un Re in senso musicale</strong>: una nota che trova il proprio significato solo quando &#232;<strong> in armonia con tutte le altre</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d4508d22-8de0-47e9-b4dd-50d72a74f195_1170x1533.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8476b40b-2c1c-4016-91f3-8cafa92a1439_1066x1135.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef1d51d4-d0f7-4e61-9a46-0282530b9b20_1094x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd990fbb-d829-4406-812b-4101c68c049c_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Lavori con MAC Cosmetics. Quando &#232; nata questa sinergia e cosa significa per te lavorare con un brand cos&#236; iconico?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sono entrato in MAC nel 2001, esattamente <strong>25 anni fa</strong> e, guardandomi indietro, mi rendo conto che non &#232; stato semplicemente un posto di lavoro. &#200; stato il luogo in cui <strong>sono cresciuto come artista e principalmente come persona</strong>. MAC mi ha insegnato a non avere paura della creativit&#224;, provocazione o dei make up alternativi, ma anche ad avere enorme <strong>rispetto per chi si siede sulla mia sedia</strong>. Una cosa che dico sempre &#232; che i prodotti, da soli, <strong>non parlano</strong>. Sono i make-up artist a dare loro una voce. Attraverso il gesto, la tecnica e l&#8217;interpretazione, prendendoci cura, trasformiamo un rossetto, un ombretto o un fondotinta in un&#8217;emozione. Ed &#232; questo che continua ad affascinarmi.</p><p><strong>Raccontaci come nasce un look da sfilata, dall&#8217;idea del direttore creativo alla sua realizzazione</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tutto parte da <strong>una conversazione</strong> (test day). Il direttore creativo racconta un&#8217;emozione prima ancora di parlare di make-up. Pu&#242; essere una donna appena uscita dal mare, da un party alle 5 del mattino, un ricordo d&#8217;infanzia, un film, un quadro o semplicemente una sensazione. Il nostro compito &#232; tradurre quella visione in qualcosa che possa <strong>vivere su un volto</strong>. Da l&#236; inizia un <strong>continuo dialogo </strong>con hairstylist, stylist, casting director e fotografo. Si fanno prove, si cambia idea, si tolgono elementi, si aggiungono dettagli. La cosa pi&#249; difficile &#232; trovare il punto in cui il make-up smette di essere protagonista e diventa <strong>parte integrante della storia</strong>. Quando succede, il look funziona davvero.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c36dc40e-1f44-4515-8642-6acd9ab61c4b_1440x1799.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/62f233d3-5a37-476a-8deb-9f15eb96d71f_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/83734398-c837-405c-8184-d9154f17ae87_1200x1600.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/843a4b1e-6db9-47cb-9eec-702aa1e5438b_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Da cosa trai ispirazione?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dalla vita</strong>. Dai viaggi, dai musei, dalla fotografia, dal cinema, dall&#8217;architettura, ma soprattutto <strong>dalle persone</strong>.

E se vi chiedessimo chi c'&#232; dietro le pettinature (della cantante e ballerina, ma non solo) pi&#249; memorabili degli ultimi tempi, sapreste rispondere? Noi s&#236;. Si tratta di <strong>Louis Souvestre</strong>, che si auto-definisce hair freak e che ha segnato con la sua creativit&#224; una vera e propria wave di pettinature, colori e stili.

Poi, verso gli 8 anni, &#232; arrivata nella mia scuola della campagna francese una nuova compagna dal Senegal: i suoi capelli erano qualcosa che <strong>non avevo mai visto prima</strong>. Un giorno aveva delle <em>cornrows</em> e il giorno dopo si &#232; presentata con delle <em>box braids</em> che le arrivavano a met&#224; schiena. Ero incantato e incuriosito, proprio come tutti gli altri a scuola. Quando le ho chiesto come facesse, mi ha risposto che sua madre era una strega e poteva farle crescere i capelli da un giorno all&#8217;altro. Quella risposta ha decisamente <strong>stimolato il mio processo creativo</strong> e mi ha fatto vedere i capelli come una vera e propria<strong> forma d&#8217;arte</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a657fafd-326d-4e50-bbc8-d7c538b49af7_1131x1544.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/46ec324a-e322-455f-b9b1-bf8e8d6dd6b3_1179x1453.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/26093f9b-9a29-47a1-8194-339ff04e4d26_1154x1572.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd271398-b358-4e3b-9708-c42fa877736b_1179x1457.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2bff58a9-de57-4445-b2a7-b46204300c3a_1151x1451.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0cc514a8-4c1c-4cdb-8a83-c9d103351d21_1123x1443.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;fka twigs hair stylist intervista&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/903a2d09-d559-4bc3-9495-d4dc3cafec0d_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Chi sono le tue muse? Da cosa trai ispirazione?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Le mie muse sono solitamente<strong> le guerriere</strong> dei libri illustrati fantasy o storici che avevo da bambino e che colleziono ancora oggi. Ne ricreo di nuove nella mia testa fondendole con altre ispirazioni che traggo<strong> dalla natura</strong>, <strong>dallo spazio</strong>, <strong>dalla scultura </strong>o persino da <strong>elmi e copricapi</strong>. Non guardo molto gli altri hairstyle, amo semplicemente combinare elementi diversi tra loro.</p><p><strong>Com&#8217;&#232; nata la collaborazione tra te e FKA twigs? Segui un processo specifico con lei quando si tratta di creare un look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ho lavorato per la prima volta con <strong>FKA twigs</strong> 5 anni fa, sul set del suo video musicale <em>&#8220;Measure of a Man&#8221;</em>. Mentre le stavo sistemando i capelli, mi ha chiesto cosa le avrei fatto se avessi avuto <strong>totale libert&#224; creativa.</strong> Le ho detto che sarebbe stata fantastica con dei look ispirati al XVIII secolo, ma ricreati con dreadlocks e <em>twists</em>. Poi sono passate alcune settimane e, con mia grande sorpresa, il suo team mi ha contattato per il suo progetto successivo, <em>Caprisongs</em>. Da quel momento non abbiamo pi&#249; smesso di lavorare insieme. Il mio processo con Twigs parte di solito da una <strong>conversazione sulle emozioni</strong> e sulla storia che vuole raccontare. Condividiamo idee e immagini che scoviamo in giro, spesso non legate ai capelli. Da l&#236; iniziamo a parlare di costruzione dell&#8217;universo (<em>world-building</em>), di forme e della creazione di qualcosa che risulti nuovo e intenzionale. Di solito <strong>ascolto la sua musica</strong> prima di ideare qualsiasi nuova acconciatura per lei e entro nel mio mondo, dove creo continuamente nuove idee, concetti e spunti visivi da integrare nell&#8217;universo di Twigs.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cb6d2977-8103-48a9-afb3-d2e75269b54e_1179x1550.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ba58eaf9-b852-4dfa-91c0-07c1e5516b45_1179x1557.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ae16e8d-322b-4ae4-b109-221294600247_1164x1438.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/aa24dba1-3aaa-49e6-96fe-fcaae7c459ba_1179x1459.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e063f7d0-0eb2-419a-9b54-26d4113de71e_1179x1476.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4581147d-8aa9-44b5-9411-121f9af35b1e_1134x1431.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;fka twigs louis souvestre&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/025c4f31-5083-4f5d-a77b-5e8090a0e0f9_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Qual &#232; la tua parte preferita del lavorare con gli artisti e come riesci a creare un intero universo intorno a loro partendo solo dalle acconciature?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">La parte che preferisco del lavorare con gli artisti &#232; <strong>scoprire il loro mondo</strong>, riuscire ad elevarlo e dare vita alla loro visione. Per creare universi basati sui capelli attingo di solito <strong>dal loro immaginario</strong>, cos&#236; che il risultato sia <strong>autentico</strong>, per poi fonderlo con il mio. &#200; anche fondamentale studiare la loro personalit&#224; e il loro linguaggio del corpo, osservare come si muovono, in modo che l&#8217;<strong>universo di capelli</strong> che creo si adatti a loro e li valorizzi.

Siamo cos&#236; fortunati ad essere nati con <strong>gusti e cervelli diversi</strong> a cui nessuno pu&#242; davvero accedere finch&#233; non siamo noi pronti a mostrarli. Per quanto possa sembrare banale o stucchevole, guardate <strong>i libri, la natura e ci&#242; che vi circonda</strong>. Siate<strong> curiosi</strong> e continuate ad imparare, anche cose che non hanno nulla a che fare con la vostra arte. Imparate ad apprezzare <strong>il tempo passato da soli </strong>e a creare mondi nella vostra testa. Collaborate e confrontatevi con le persone giuste, che condividono lo stesso senso di <em>world-building</em>. Un&#8217;altra cosa che faccio ogni sera prima di andare a letto &#232; scegliere alcuni <strong>libri con immagini che mi piacciono</strong>, anche solo per sfogliarli. &#200; l&#8217;ultima cosa che faccio prima di dormire, cos&#236; il mio cervello pu&#242; elaborare tutte quelle immagini mentre dormo. E infine, <strong>tenete un diario</strong> e documentate ogni singola idea che vi viene in mente, cos&#236; da poterla sviluppare in seguito.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Then, from the age of 8, a new girl arrived mid-term at my French countryside school from Senegal, and her hair was like something I had never seen before. She had cornrows, and then the next day she came with mid-back-length box braids. I was <strong>mesmerized </strong>and so <strong>intrigued</strong>, like everyone else at school.<br>When I asked her about it, she told me her mum was a witch and could make her hair grow overnight. That answer definitely <strong>stimulated my creative process</strong> and made me see hair as a form of art.<br><br><strong>Who are your muses? What do you get inspiration from?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My muses are usually <strong>female warriors</strong> from fantasy or historical illustration books I had as a kid and still collect now. I recreate new ones in my head by combining them with other inspirations that I take from <strong>wildlife</strong>, <strong>space</strong>,<strong> sculpture</strong>, or even helmets and headpieces. I don&#8217;t really look at other hairstyles.

Do you have a specific process you follow with her when it comes to hairstyles?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I first worked with <strong>FKA twigs</strong> 5 years ago on the set of her music video <em>&#8220;Measure of a Man.&#8221; </em>While I was doing her hair, she asked me what I would do on her if I had complete freedom. I told her she would look amazing with looks inspired <strong>by the 18th century</strong>, recreated with <strong>dreadlocks and twists</strong>. Then weeks went by, and to my surprise, her team reached out to me for her next project called <em>Caprisongs</em>, and we have never stopped working together since then. My process with Twigs is usually us <strong>talking about feelings</strong> and <strong>the story she wants to tell</strong>. We share ideas and images we find and discover, often not hair-related. From there, we talk about <strong>world-building</strong>, shapes, and creating something that feels new and intentional. I usually listen to her music before creating any new hair for her and <strong>enter my own world </strong>and brain, where I constantly create <strong>new ideas</strong>, concepts, and visuals that I can incorporate into Twigs&#8217; world.<br><br><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite part about working with artists and how do you creative a whole world for them based on just hairstyles?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My favorite part of working with artists is<strong> discovering their world </strong>and being able to help them elevate it and bring their vision to life.<strong> </strong>To create worlds based on hair, I usually <strong>use their universe</strong> so it feels <strong>authentic</strong>, and then combine it with mine. It&#8217;s also very important to learn their personality and body language, looking at how they carry themselves, so the hair world I create <strong>suits them</strong> and <strong>elevates them</strong>. I also need to understand <strong>how they see beauty and art,</strong> as it is very subjective.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f49ae6fb-021f-4977-995d-a045642cb8fe_1164x1438.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/15e22c7a-c1d8-49a6-bc50-c35c271d3ca2_1161x1372.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9048d188-b1e5-4406-b71a-ed91f3ab9780_1134x1431.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/79e07903-c52d-4ed9-837a-4002c05a39c2_1161x1513.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;fka twigs&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f3837c89-969e-4a26-bb2c-252ed9463687_1456x1456.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hair in fashion is often left behind.

As cringe and basic as it may sound, just look at books, nature, and what is around you. <strong>Be curious and carry on learning, even about things that have nothing to do with your art. Trust me, at some point they will. Appreciate and learn to be by yourself and create worlds inside your head. </strong>Collaborate and exchange with the right people who have the same sense of world-building. Another thing I do every night before bed is<strong> choose a few books with pictures I like just to look at.</strong> That&#8217;s the last thing I do before sleeping, so my brain can process all those images while I sleep. And <strong>journal and document</strong> every idea you have, so you can expand them.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

and across <strong>nss G-Club</strong> more broadly, we explore a critical perspective on beauty in the age of social media. We question certain dynamics, trends, and the easy enthusiasm that often surrounds them. But our fascination with <strong>Beatrice Pavan, aka Ciocchette</strong>, is anything but a fleeting obsession. We interviewed the queen of <strong>Y2K-inspired colorful hair extensions</strong>, who introduced herself like this: &#8220;<em>I studied to become a makeup artist and hairstylist, and three years ago I moved to Milan to pursue that dream. At the same time, I always wanted to create something of my own. Hair, in particular, has always been my language: it&#8217;s a passion that has been with me since I was a child and that, over time, became the center of my work. One day I painted an old hair extension strand for myself, without imagining that this small personal project would eventually become something I could share with everyone</em>.&#8221; And where else could that happen, if not on social media? Here&#8217;s what she told us.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with Ciocchette, the Y2K hair extension wizard</h2><p><strong>How would you describe your visual style in three words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Chaotic, cunty, chameleonic</strong>.</p><p><strong>Where does your passion for hair come from?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think <strong>I&#8217;ve always had it</strong>. As a child, I was obsessed with the colorful hair extensions that were popular between 2010 and 2013, and I always wanted to have one applied at the hair salon. For me, hair has always been the most immediate way <strong>to express who I am</strong>. I change my color, shape, or hairstyle and the way I feel changes too: it&#8217;s like <strong>creating a new version of myself every time</strong>, my own little avatar. At the same time, I&#8217;ve always been the friend who did everyone&#8217;s hair: colors, cuts, bleaching&#8230;</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a7a0b76b-e10a-42b8-a35b-d4eba4cbd038_6306x4417.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/789eadcf-f2ce-4239-8f3d-7e3581d4ce31_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3695fc47-fe77-4cd7-8a64-2f3ef54111bd_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;interview with ciocchette hair stylist&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ebe71b98-0d06-4871-90f5-3a9e8af2f838_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What inspires you when you create your Ciocchette?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I let myself be guided by the moment and by what I&#8217;m feeling. Every time, almost without realizing it, <strong>I repeat the same little ritual</strong>: I sit on the floor, prepare my table with all the dyes, put on some music, and <strong>start creating</strong>. From that point on, I don&#8217;t overthink it.<strong> I let instinct take over</strong>.</p><p><strong>Tell us the names of some stars or pop icons you would love to have in your roster.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Christina Aguilera, Kesha, and Avril Lavigne</strong>. I&#8217;d say they are my<strong> mothers</strong> in this world.

I actually think that&#8217;s the foundation of everything: Ciocchette was born from my work and my passion for hair, and only afterwards did the content side come along. I&#8217;ve always been behind the scenes in this world, and maybe that&#8217;s exactly why stepping into a more visible role for the first time has been<strong> such a rewarding experience</strong>. What has happened so far, even if it might seem small from the outside, has been something <strong>huge and unexpected</strong> for me. Of course, I hope it continues to grow, because I believe the world of content can be an incredible <strong>launchpad</strong> for my work. The most beautiful thing has been receiving so many private messages from people who became passionate about my project. So far, I&#8217;ve received nothing but positive support, and that motivates me<strong> to keep going</strong>.</p><p><strong>When a brand commissions a project from you, how does the creative process work?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since this project was born <strong>from my own creativity</strong>, I always try to preserve a very personal part of my work: my shades, my colors, and my style. Of course, I listen to the client&#8217;s needs and ideas, and then <strong>we develop them together,</strong> creating something that reflects what they want, that they feel comfortable wearing, but that still carries the identity of Ciocchette. Not every client needs to create a completely new Ciocchetta from scratch. Through <strong>renting</strong>, they can also choose from ready-made pieces. One of the things I love most is seeing how the same Ciocchetta <strong>can completely transform</strong> depending on who wears it and the context in which it&#8217;s used. Everyone brings their own vision, and I love seeing how an idea that started with me can become something <strong>deeply personal for someone else</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b2d2116d-2181-46cd-ab3d-a87c7f7d7397_2075x2767.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1417295e-03c5-4fa2-be8d-9dd32d97d0fa_6270x5016.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1db4954d-a96a-4fff-bdcb-79712b33013f_4752x3564.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a85e0164-e14d-4c0e-ae62-bd6ab6d77403_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>When you create for yourself rather than for a client, how does your approach change?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When I paint for myself, I keep the same approach I&#8217;ve always had: it has to be a moment of<strong> freedom and fun</strong>. I&#8217;ve always made sure not to lose that carefree side, because that&#8217;s exactly where my creativity comes from. Obviously, when I work for a client there are specific needs to respect and an idea to develop together, but even then I always <strong>try to leave a part of myself</strong> in the project. For me, it&#8217;s important that painting remains something joyful and doesn&#8217;t become just an execution.</p><p><strong>Two hair trends you love and two you hate?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t really love trends in general. Sometimes I feel like <strong>they make us forget our individuality</strong>: they start telling us what is beautiful, what is not, and how we should look. I believe style should come from the freedom to express yourself, not from the desire to look like everyone else and <strong>follow a trend</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/27330ac9-248e-41f6-aeed-8ac9da2c2296_2160x2700.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2b1ec16d-1f0d-4fbf-b991-d9b1f457b7b8_2160x2700.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/006cd2c7-387b-471f-8a92-60b2f045d9d4_2160x2700.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9eb8a5a9-194f-4bda-882f-74b996ab2fca_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What does being creative mean today?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For me, being creative today means <strong>being in love with what you&#8217;re doing</strong>, without too many rules.

In realt&#224; credo che sia proprio questo il punto di partenza: le Ciocchette sono nate dal mio lavoro e dalla mia passione per i capelli, e solo <strong>come conseguenza </strong>&#232; arrivata la parte dei contenuti. Sono sempre stata dietro le quinte di questo mondo, e forse proprio per questo vivere questa parte pi&#249; esposta per la prima volta mi sta dando una <strong>grandissima soddisfazione</strong>. Quello che &#232; successo finora, anche se magari pu&#242; sembrare poco, per me &#232; stato qualcosa di molto <strong>grande e inaspettato</strong>. Ovviamente spero in una crescita, perch&#233; credo che il mondo dei contenuti possa essere un grandissimo trampolino di lancio per il mio lavoro. La cosa pi&#249; bella &#232; stata ricevere cos&#236; tanti messaggi privati di ragazz* che si sono appassionati al mio progetto. Finora ho ricevuto solo tanto <strong>supporto positivo </strong>e questo mi spinge a continuare.</p><p><strong>Come funziona quando un brand ti commissiona un lavoro? Come avviene il processo creativo in quel caso?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Essendo un progetto <strong>nato dalla mia creativit&#224;</strong>, cerco sempre di mantenere una parte molto personale del mio lavoro: le mie sfumature, i miei colori e il mio stile. Ovviamente ascolto le necessit&#224; e le idee del cliente, e poi cerchiamo di <strong>elaborarle insieme</strong>, cos&#236; da creare un prodotto che sia in linea con quello che desidera, che si senta a suo agio ad indossare, ma che allo stesso tempo abbia sempre l&#8217;identit&#224; delle Ciocchette. Non sempre il cliente ha bisogno di creare una Ciocchetta da zero, tramite renting possono scegliere<strong> prodotti gi&#224; pronti</strong>. Una delle cose pi&#249; belle per me &#232; proprio vedere come la stessa Ciocchetta possa <strong>cambiare completamente</strong> a seconda di chi la indossa e del contesto in cui viene utilizzata. Ogni persona alla fine porta una propria visione, e mi piace molto vedere come un&#8217;idea nata da me possa trasformarsi in qualcosa di personale per qualcun altro.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/40147b0b-7891-454d-beaf-8963df5c223a_6000x4000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/20fac004-d526-4d38-8b00-549a57c8a9e2_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9422a9bc-5de1-45a7-a05d-af9603300434_1510x1888.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/568ce4f5-7fc1-473e-be64-c30c47c6e735_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Quando crei per te stessa e non per un cliente, come cambia il tuo approccio?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Quando dipingo per me stessa mantengo lo stesso approccio che ho sempre avuto: deve essere <strong>un momento di libert&#224;</strong> e di divertimento. Mi sono imposta di non perdere mai quella parte <strong>spensierata</strong>, perch&#233; &#232; proprio da l&#236; che nasce la mia creativit&#224;. Ovviamente quando lavoro per un cliente ci sono delle <strong>esigenze da rispettare</strong> e un&#8217;idea da sviluppare insieme, ma anche in quel caso cerco sempre di lasciare una parte di me nel progetto.

style="text-align: justify;">As a child, I was always the one paying attention to details. I still am. Colors, textures, the way light could completely transform a face. When I was 14, my first boyfriend obsessively collected <em>Vogue Italia</em> editorials, cutting them out and organizing them chronologically in binders. That gave me the chance to spend hours looking at those images. That&#8217;s when I realized make-up wasn&#8217;t just about beauty, it was a<strong> language</strong>. And I knew that one day, I wanted to develop my own.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s inside your reference archive?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A bit of everything</strong>. Steven Meisel&#8217;s and Annie Leibovitz&#8217;s &#8216;90s photography, Tim Burton&#8217;s films, Galliano&#8217;s runway shows, but also real life. My mother&#8217;s perfectly polished red nails, which I admired as a child. The women I met while traveling through Tanzania, who used baobab seeds as lipstick. The best references <strong>rarely come from make-up itself</strong>.</p><p><strong>Make-up is often associated with a traditional, performance-driven idea of beauty. How do you approach it? Are you searching for beauty, or something else?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m searching for <strong>something that feels true</strong>. Beauty interests me when it has character, when it expresses someone&#8217;s personality rather than chasing an impossible ideal. Sometimes all it takes is highlighting a single detail; other times, it&#8217;s about completely <strong>breaking the rules</strong>. To me, make-up isn&#8217;t about hiding, it&#8217;s about amplifying.</p><p><strong>In an ideal world where anything is possible, who would you love to work with?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">People with a strong vision, regardless of their field. If I had to name one person, it would definitely be <strong>Pat McGrath</strong>. She&#8217;s one of the people who has most influenced the way I see make-up. I actually had the opportunity to assist her backstage at a fashion show, and it was one of those experiences that reminds you exactly why you chose this profession. Looking beyond a single collaboration, my dream would be to become the <strong>Creative Director of a make-up brand</strong>. I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by everything that happens behind a product, from the formulas and textures to the color palette, the packaging, and the way it&#8217;s ultimately presented. If I had to choose a brand, I&#8217;d say <strong>Byredo or Gucci Beauty</strong>.</p><p><strong>What does it mean to enhance someone through make-up? And what does it mean to tell a story with make-up? Where do those two ideas meet, if they do?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think they meet far more often than people realize. <strong>Enhancing someone</strong> doesn&#8217;t mean changing them, it means bringing out something they may not even have noticed about themselves. Telling a story is essentially<strong> the same process,</strong> just with an added<strong> creative intention</strong>. In both cases, make-up works best when it doesn&#8217;t cover the person, but accompanies them.</p><p><strong>How do you approach trends? Do you think they stimulate creativity or suppress it?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I pay attention to them, but I don&#8217;t chase them. Trends are interesting because they reflect the moment we&#8217;re living in, but they&#8217;re also<strong> incredibly short-lived</strong>. They&#8217;re a bit like the people you meet at a party: some you&#8217;re genuinely happy to see, others make you want to go home after five minutes. I like understanding <strong>why a trend emerges</strong>, but I never feel compelled to follow it. I&#8217;d rather create something I&#8217;ll still love five years from now.</p><p><strong>What does it mean to be creative today?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today we&#8217;re constantly surrounded by <strong>flawless images and endless inspiration</strong>. To me, being creative means having the courage to be bored every once in a while. The real challenge isn&#8217;t finding ideas, it&#8217;s figuring out<strong> which ones are actually yours</strong>. If you&#8217;re consuming images all day long, you inevitably end up repeating someone else&#8217;s. My best ideas always come when I stop looking for them.</p><p><strong>What advice would you give someone who wants to work in this field?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Be curious rather than perfect</strong>. Technique can be studied and improved every single day, but curiosity is what truly helps you grow. My father always used to tell me: <em>choose a job you&#8217;ll still love on the hardest days, and you&#8217;ll always find joy in it.</em> And finally, learn how to listen. A great make-up artist works with brushes but, above all, <strong>with people</strong>.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

Lo sono tutt&#8217;ora. I colori, le texture, il modo in cui la luce cambiava completamente un viso. A 14 anni il mio primo fidanzatino di allora collezionava in maniera maniacale tutti gli editoriali di Vogue Italia ritagliandoli e catalogandoli nei raccoglitori in ordine cronologico. Questo mi ha dato modo di apprezzare e osservare a lungo quelle foto, <strong>ho capito che il make-up non era solo estetica</strong>, era un linguaggio e che un giorno avrei voluto <strong>averne uno mio</strong>. </p><p><strong>Cosa troviamo nel tuo bagaglio di reference?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Un po&#8217; di tutto</strong>. Fotografia anni &#8217;90 di Steven Maisel ed Annie Leibovitz, il cinema di Tim Burton, le sfilate di Galliano ma<strong> anche vita vera</strong>, come le unghie sempre rosse e perfette di mia Madre che osservavo da piccola, le donne incontrate durante un viaggio in Tanzania che usavano dei semi di Baobab come rossetto.

un&#8217;idea di bellezza tradizionale e performativa. Tu come lo approcci? Cerchi il bello o cerchi altro?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cerco qualcosa che sia vero</strong>. La bellezza mi interessa quando ha carattere, quando racconta una personalit&#224; e non quando rincorre un ideale perfetto. A volte basta <strong>enfatizzare un dettaglio</strong>, altre volte rompere completamente gli schemi. Il make-up, per me, non serve a nascondere ma <strong>ad amplificare</strong>.</p><p><strong>In un mondo ideale in cui tutto &#232; possibile, con chi vorresti lavorare e collaborare?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Con persone che hanno una visione forte, indipendentemente dal settore. Se penso a una persona, direi senza dubbio <strong>Pat McGrath</strong>. &#200; una delle figure che pi&#249; hanno influenzato il mio modo di vedere il make-up. In realt&#224; ho gi&#224; avuto la fortuna di assisterla nel backstage di una sfilata ed &#232; stata una di quelle esperienze che ti ricordano perch&#233; hai scelto questo mestiere. Se invece penso a una collaborazione in senso pi&#249; ampio, il mio sogno &#232; diventare <strong>Direttore Creativo di un brand di make-up</strong>. Mi ha sempre affascinato tutto quello che c&#8217;&#232; dietro un prodotto: dalla formulazione alle texture, dai colori al packaging, fino al modo in cui viene raccontato. Se dovessi scegliere un brand, direi <strong>Byredo</strong> o <strong>Gucci Beauty</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Cosa vuol dire raccontare una storia con il make-up? Dove si incontrano questi due elementi, se lo fanno?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Secondo me si incontrano molto pi&#249; spesso di quanto si pensi. Valorizzare qualcuno non significa renderlo diverso, ma <strong>far emergere qualcosa</strong> che magari nemmeno lui aveva notato. Raccontare una storia &#232; fare la stessa cosa, solo con un&#8217;<strong>intenzione creativa</strong> in pi&#249;. In entrambi i casi il make-up funziona quando non copre la persona, ma <strong>la accompagna</strong>.</p><p><strong>Come ti approcci ai trend? Pensi stimolino la creativit&#224; o la soffochino?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Li osservo, ma non li inseguo. I trend sono utili perch&#233; raccontano il momento che stiamo vivendo, per&#242; <strong>durano pochissimo</strong>. Un po come gli amici che incontri a una festa: alcuni li saluti volentieri, altri dopo cinque minuti hai gi&#224; voglia di tornare a casa. Mi piace capire perch&#233; un trend nasce, ma <strong>non sento il bisogno di seguirlo</strong>. Preferisco costruire qualcosa che<strong> tra cinque anni mi piaccia ancora</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f52c334e-bead-4c2b-9c8b-52bea0bdfe5e_1747x2184.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;clarissa carbone intervista make-up&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f52c334e-bead-4c2b-9c8b-52bea0bdfe5e_1747x2184.jpeg&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Cosa vuol dire essere creativi oggi?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Oggi siamo continuamente esposti a immagini perfette e infinite ispirazioni. Per me essere creativi significa <strong>avere il coraggio di annoiarsi </strong>ogni tanto. La vera sfida non &#232; trovare idee, ma capire<strong> quali sono davvero le tue</strong>. Se consumi immagini tutto il giorno, finisci per ripetere quelle degli altri. Le idee migliori, almeno per me, arrivano <strong>quando smetto di cercarle</strong>.</p><p><strong>Cosa consiglieresti a un collega che vuole lavorare nel campo?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Di essere <strong>curioso pi&#249; che perfetto</strong>. La tecnica si studia e si migliora ogni giorno, ma la curiosit&#224; &#232; quella che ti fa evolvere davvero. Mio padre mi diceva sempre: scegli un lavoro che amerai anche nelle giornate pi&#249; difficili e troverai sempre gioia.  E poi di <strong>imparare ad ascoltare</strong>: un bravo make-up artist lavora con i pennelli, ma soprattutto con le persone.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Grazie per aver letto!

Puglia is a place I feel deeply connected to, but I felt the need to experience a different environment and broaden my opportunities for personal and educational growth.&#8221; This is how our conversation with <strong>Giorgia Lecce</strong>, the latest guest on <em>Under The Beauty Radar</em>, begins.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;My relationship with make-up started very early, during my first dance recitals. I began dancing when I was four, and after just a few years, I already enjoyed doing my classmates&#8217; make-up backstage before performances. I loved those moments because they allowed me to express my creativity while also seeing how make-up could completely transform a face.&#8221; <strong>Manual skills </strong>also played a key role in shaping her creative background and references. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always had a strong passion for drawing and anything involving craftsmanship and hands-on creativity. That&#8217;s why, after high school, I decided to follow my artistic instincts and enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, where I studied Visual Arts. It was a fundamental experience that gave me the opportunity to experiment and express myself through different forms and materials, deeply influencing the way I approach make-up as well. I&#8217;m incredibly grateful to my family, who have always supported every choice I&#8217;ve made.&#8221;</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with make-up artist Giorgia Lecce</h2><p><strong>How would you describe your visual style in three words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t really like <strong>labeling myself</strong> or reducing my style to just three adjectives, because I see it as something <strong>fluid and constantly evolving</strong>. However, I would say that my style is refined and versatile, allowing me to adapt to different situations without losing my identity. For me, it&#8217;s important to maintain a <strong>recognizable aesthetic consistency</strong> that reflects my taste and my way of seeing things, regardless of the context I&#8217;m working in.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

started?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">At the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, I had the chance to experience art in a very tangible way, experimenting and creating through different forms and materials. I studied Visual Arts with a focus on sculpture. I took many art history and theoretical courses, but what truly fascinated me were <strong>the drawing and sculpture workshops</strong>: they were the moments when I could <strong>express myself freely</strong>, working with materials that felt most natural to me. Ever since I was a child, I&#8217;ve had a strong inclination toward anything involving creativity and manual skills, and art has always been a space where I felt completely at ease. After graduating, I decided to move to Milan to attend a <strong>make-up school </strong>and finally pursue what had been a childhood dream. From there, through hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, opportunities came <strong>gradually but naturally</strong>.</p><p><strong>What inspires you? Cinema, music&#8230; tell us about your references</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Music and the visual aesthetics connected to it</strong> are definitely among my main sources of inspiration. I grew up surrounded by music, both because my father was always playing records at home and because I danced for many years. I can honestly say I&#8217;ve gone through almost <strong>every music genre</strong>, simply because I&#8217;ve always been curious. It was an essential journey in shaping my taste and understanding what truly resonated with me. Having grown up during the &#8217;90s and early 2000s, I&#8217;ve been deeply influenced by the imagery of those decades. In particular, <strong>R&amp;B music videos </strong>from that era had a huge impact on the way I perceive beauty. Even today, I&#8217;m fascinated by ultra-glossy, sharply defined lips, luminous golden skin, and warm, vibrant colors in general. My visual references stem from this blend of music, imagery, and visual culture that I&#8217;ve absorbed over the years and <strong>continue to update </strong>through everything that surrounds me today.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

How does your approach change? What do you enjoy most?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Working on fashion sets and music productions are definitely <strong>two different realities</strong>, but both feel very much like home to me and enrich me in different ways. There isn&#8217;t one I prefer over the other. I&#8217;m most drawn to situations where I have the opportunity to <strong>truly express myself</strong> and, so to speak, contribute my own perspective, going beyond corrective or purely technical make-up. I find it <strong>much more interesting</strong> when I can<strong> contribute creatively</strong>, engage in dialogue with the project, and bring something personal to the overall vision. That&#8217;s what motivates me the most in both contexts. Working with artists is especially rewarding because music is such a huge passion of mine. Following an artist means <strong>stepping into their world</strong>, their projects, and their creative journey, which makes the experience even more engaging. I also love the idea that <strong>meaningful teams</strong> can grow and strengthen through work, because I believe collaboration and harmony among people are fundamental - and often decisive - for the success of any project.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

What is still missing, and what makes it such a great environment?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I hope the Italian beauty industry continues to evolve toward greater <strong>openness and inclusivity</strong>. There have definitely been positive changes in recent years, but I still believe there is room to better celebrate diversity, both in terms of aesthetics and professional paths. In some contexts, I think there&#8217;s still <strong>a lack of true creative freedom and trust </strong>in individual talent, regardless of labels or hierarchies. It would be wonderful to see more collaboration and a greater openness to ideas, even those that fall outside traditional frameworks. At the same time, I find it to be an incredibly <strong>stimulating</strong> environment, full of creative energy. It&#8217;s a dynamic world where you can grow tremendously, and where exchange with others is constant and invaluable.</p><p><strong>Do you think make-up artists today have the creative freedom and artistic recognition they deserve?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think make-up artists today certainly enjoy <strong>greater visibility and recognition</strong> than in the past, but the artistic value of our work is <strong>not always fully acknowledged</strong>. In some contexts, creative freedom is genuine and respected, especially when working within open-minded teams and on projects where make-up is considered an integral part of the overall vision. In other situations, however, the role of the make-up artist is still seen as purely <strong>technical or supportive</strong>, when in reality it can - and should - be so much more. To me, make-up is a form of creative language. The artistic dignity is there, but it also needs to be <strong>defended and built</strong> through the way we present ourselves and the kinds of projects we choose. It&#8217;s a balance that is evolving, but one that has not yet been fully achieved.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d92d9be9-8145-4e79-9bf8-17b4f841742e_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d011c8fb-6577-4aba-b7f0-d9397a1f6676_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/437c869b-daab-4cb3-8b8c-d36453893989_1080x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;giorgia lecce make-up artist interview&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f461b347-2743-4ec6-99e0-486bf2577efe_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>How do you approach trends? Do you follow them, avoid them, or create them?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t have a particularly close relationship with trends and, in most cases, <strong>I tend not to follow them</strong>, as I often see them as temporary phenomena that aren&#8217;t always meaningful in everyday work. I prefer focusing on a more personal and conscious approach that reflects my own vision and understanding of make-up. When followed passively, trends can become <strong>repetitive and predictable</strong>, limiting individual expression. For this reason, I choose to maintain <strong>a certain distance</strong>, prioritizing a coherent aesthetic research that is constantly evolving and capable of adapting to different contexts without losing authenticity.</p><p><strong>What never leaves your kit?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I love skincare</strong> and pay particular attention to the complexion because, for me, it is the foundation of every successful make-up look. That&#8217;s why a <strong>carefully curated selection of skincare products </strong>is something I can never do without. I enjoy trying new launches and incorporating into my work the products that, in my opinion, truly perform and make a difference. <strong>Proper skincare</strong> is essential for achieving the best make-up results, and it should always be tailored to the skin type in front of you. For this reason, I always make sure to carry a broad and thoughtfully selected range of skincare products in my kit.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5e180cfd-1ba3-453e-af39-e3453a78dd6f_1080x1184.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/85ae76e4-f801-4685-87fd-763552c9e162_1080x1079.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;giorgia lecce make-up&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d3d3ffbd-b6a0-4a03-b808-62ad2336167c_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What would be your dream collaboration?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My dream collaboration would definitely be working with i<strong>nternational artists</strong> whom I deeply admire and follow. I&#8217;m fascinated by the way they build their image and visual identity, and by how make-up becomes a fundamental part of their language and artistic storytelling. For me, make-up works best when it exists within a <strong>broader creative vision</strong>.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Iscriviti&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;it&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!
