For me, make-up is first and foremost a tool for transformation and storytelling. I&#8217;m interested in creating characters, atmospheres, and emotional states through the face and body, building images that are at once narrative, melancholic, and suspended, existing in dialogue between fashion, art, and visual storytelling.&#8221; And that&#8217;s how our latest episode of <strong>Under the Beauty Radar</strong> begins, the series dedicated to beauty professionals who go beyond the surface.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with make-up artist Vanessa Icareg</h2><p><strong>Describe your style in three words</strong></p><p>Narrative, melancholic, unsettling.</p><p><strong>How has it evolved over time? What kind of visual research are you pursuing?</strong></p><p>I&#8217;ve never seen make-up as a tool for enhancing beauty. From the very beginning, what interested me was its <strong>ability to define an identity</strong>, build a character, or suggest a visual universe. My research is the sum of everything I&#8217;ve collected throughout my life: images, memories, films, experiences, people, obsessions, and references that continue to settle and evolve over time. It&#8217;s like having a <strong>personal archive</strong> that I constantly draw from. My work comes from translating these codes into a visual language. I&#8217;m interested in <strong>transforming</strong> deeply intimate and familiar elements into images that can be shared and interpreted by others. In that sense, every project becomes<strong> a form of storytelling</strong>, a way of giving new shape to something that already exists in memory.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

I started in <strong>theatre</strong>, transforming actors into characters. Then I worked with <strong>children</strong>, who are probably the most honest and hardest audience to impress. Later, I worked in the adult <strong>film industry</strong>, an environment that taught me speed, pragmatism, and how to develop a very direct relationship with the body. <strong>Fashion came only afterward</strong>. Sometimes I think my current approach comes precisely from this unlikely mix: a bit of theatre, a bit of childhood fantasy, a bit of raw reality, and finally image-making. Perhaps that&#8217;s why my work constantly moves between <strong>storytelling, transformation, and identity</strong>.</p><p><strong>You&#8217;ve built a recognizable aesthetic: slightly messy, dreamy, and not always &#8220;beautiful&#8221; in the traditional sense. What inspires you?</strong></p><p>I&#8217;m fascinated by images that exist in <strong>shadowy spaces</strong>, where beauty and strangeness coexist. I find inspiration in fashion photography, cinema, contemporary art, and visual subcultures that use the body as a means of expression. I&#8217;m drawn to images that retain a <strong>sense of ambiguity</strong> and a certain melancholy, images that cannot be exhausted by a single interpretation. Rather than perfection, I look for images that suggest something without fully revealing it.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg" width="1289" height="1589" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1589,&quot;width&quot;:1289,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:237753,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/200733118?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0uSk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffff125c3-6901-46aa-b4ba-3e2087ae5645_1289x1589.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p><strong>How do you approach your work on set? How does the creation of a look for others begin for you?</strong></p><p>I always try to start <strong>with the narrative</strong>. Even before thinking about make-up, I want to understand what visual universe we&#8217;re building and what role the face will play within that image. I often gather references that don&#8217;t belong to the beauty world at all: photographs, films, archival images, materials, or visual fragments that are part of my personal imagination. From there, I begin constructing a language that can interact with styling, lighting, and photography.</p><p><strong>Your work often has to interact with very specific aesthetics, such as Ann Demeulemeester&#8217;s. How do make-up and fashion either connect or create contrast?</strong></p><p>When working with <strong>very strong aesthetic identities</strong>, I first try to understand their language. I&#8217;m not interested in make-up overpowering the other elements; I want it to help amplify the narrative. Sometimes the dialogue happens through harmony, while other times it emerges through a <strong>subtle contrast</strong> that introduces tension and makes the image more complex. I believe the <strong>most interesting images</strong> are born from the balance between these two possibilities.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg" width="1289" height="1578" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1578,&quot;width&quot;:1289,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1108547,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/200733118?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JsrM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa359fc4-df37-42f9-9dfb-e1fcd324257b_1289x1578.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p><strong>Are there any colleagues whose work you follow?

I&#8217;m fascinated by its almost <strong>kitsch aesthetic</strong> and by the way food imagery is paired with objects such as antique porcelain. It creates a <strong>very interesting visual dialogue</strong>, especially from a color perspective, and it continues to be a major source of inspiration for my make-up work.

Which ones do you like, and which do you avoid?</strong></p><p>I observe trends as <strong>cultural phenomena</strong> before I see them as aesthetic ones. They&#8217;re interesting because they reveal the desires, fears, and aspirations of a particular historical moment. That said, I try not to chase them. I&#8217;m more interested in building a <strong>personal language</strong> that can evolve over time without depending on current trends. I avoid anything that tends to homogenize images; I prefer what leaves room for identity, imperfection, and <strong>experimentation</strong>. Ultimately, what interests me is creating images that remain open to interpretation, images capable of existing within that ambiguous space between attraction, memory, and imagination.</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!

Per me il make-up &#232; prima di tutto uno strumento di trasformazione e narrazione. Mi interessa creare personaggi, atmosfere e stati emotivi attraverso il volto e il corpo, costruendo immagini che siano allo stesso tempo narrative, malinconiche e sospese, in dialogo tra moda, arte e racconto visivo&#8221; e cos&#236; inizia la nostra nuova puntata di <strong>Under the Beauty Radar</strong>, dedicato ai professionisti delle bellezza che vanno sotto la superficie. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista alla make-up artist Vanessa Icareg</h2><p><strong>Descrivi il tuo stile in 3 parole</strong></p><p>Narrativo, malinconico, perturbante.</p><p><strong>Come si &#232; evoluto nel tempo? Che tipo di ricerca visiva stai portando avanti?</strong></p><p>Non ho mai vissuto il make-up come uno strumento di valorizzazione estetica. Fin dall&#8217;inizio mi ha interessato la sua capacit&#224; di <strong>definire un&#8217;identit&#224;</strong>, costruire un personaggio o suggerire un universo visivo. La mia ricerca &#232; la somma di <strong>tutto ci&#242; che ho raccolto</strong> nel corso della vita: immagini, ricordi, film, esperienze, persone, ossessioni e riferimenti che continuano a sedimentarsi nel tempo. &#200; come avere un <strong>archivio personale</strong> da cui attingo continuamente. Il mio lavoro nasce proprio dalla traduzione di questi codici in un linguaggio visivo. Mi interessa <strong>trasformare</strong> elementi molto intimi e familiari in immagini che possano essere condivise e interpretate da altri. In questo senso, <strong>ogni progetto diventa una forma di racconto</strong>, un modo per dare una nuova forma a qualcosa che esiste gi&#224; nella memoria.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg" width="768" height="763" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:763,&quot;width&quot;:768,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:181686,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/200731148?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!f-z7!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd8404f8-24d5-4f9b-a487-64959e0a8842_768x763.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>Ci racconti il tuo percorso professionale?</strong></p><p>Il mio percorso non &#232; stato <strong>esattamente lineare</strong>. Ho iniziato nel teatro, trasformando attori in personaggi. Poi ho truccato bambini, che sono probabilmente il pubblico <strong>pi&#249; onesto</strong> e difficile da impressionare. In seguito ho lavorato nel cinema per adulti, un ambiente che mi ha insegnato velocit&#224;, pragmatismo e ad avere un rapporto molto diretto con il corpo. <strong>Solo dopo &#232; arrivata la moda</strong>. A volte penso che il mio approccio attuale nasca proprio da questo mix improbabile: un po&#8217; di teatro, un po&#8217; di fantasia infantile, un po&#8217; di realt&#224; cruda e, infine, la costruzione di immagini. Forse &#232; anche per questo che il mio lavoro <strong>si muove continuamente</strong> tra narrazione, trasformazione e identit&#224;.</p><p><strong>Hai costruito un look riconoscibile, un po&#8217; sporco e anche dreamy, non sempre &#8220;bello&#8221; nel senso tradizionale del termine. Quali sono le tue ispirazioni?</strong></p><p>Sono affascinata dalle immagini che <strong>vivono nelle zone d&#8217;ombra</strong>, dove il bello e l&#8217;insolito coesistono. Trovo ispirazione nella fotografia di moda, nel cinema, nell&#8217;arte contemporanea e nelle sottoculture visive che utilizzano il corpo <strong>come mezzo espressivo</strong>. Mi interessano le immagini che conservano un margine di ambiguit&#224; e una certa malinconia, che non si esauriscono in una sola lettura. Pi&#249; che la perfezione, cerco immagini che suggeriscano qualcosa <strong>senza rivelarlo completamente</strong>.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg" width="1289" height="1589" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1589,&quot;width&quot;:1289,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:237753,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/200731148?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hCDT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F18a5d8dd-2f9f-453f-8dc4-006d8fe82498_1289x1589.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>Come ti approcci al lavoro sul set? Come inizia per te l&#8217;ideazione di un look per altri?</strong></p><p>Cerco sempre di <strong>partire dalla narrazione</strong>. Prima ancora del make-up, mi interessa capire quale universo visivo stiamo costruendo e quale ruolo avr&#224; il volto all&#8217;interno di quell&#8217;immagine. Spesso raccolgo riferimenti <strong>che non appartengono al mondo beauty</strong>: fotografie, film, immagini d&#8217;archivio, materiali o frammenti visivi che fanno parte del mio immaginario personale. Da l&#236; inizio a costruire un linguaggio che possa dialogare con styling, luce e fotografia.</p><p><strong>Spesso il tuo lavoro deve dialogare con look molto specifici, come per Ann Demeulemeester. Come make-up e look entrano in contatto o in contrasto?</strong></p><p>Quando lavoro con identit&#224; estetiche molto forti cerco innanzitutto di <strong>comprenderne il linguaggio</strong>. Non mi interessa che il make-up prevalga sugli altri elementi, ma che contribuisca ad amplificarne la narrazione. A volte il dialogo avviene per armonia, altre volte attraverso un <strong>piccolo contrasto</strong> che introduce tensione e rende l&#8217;immagine pi&#249; complessa. Credo che le immagini pi&#249; interessanti nascano proprio dall&#8217;<strong>equilibrio tra queste due possibilit&#224;.</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg" width="1289" height="1578" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1578,&quot;width&quot;:1289,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1108547,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/200731148?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aZPI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f1d1797-9e69-400e-b540-5161a23c4ae7_1289x1578.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p><strong>Ci sono colleghi che segui? Chi consigli di seguire a noi?</strong></p><p>Ammiro il lavoro di molti colleghi e professionisti del settore, ma sarebbe difficile citarne alcuni senza rischiare di dimenticarne altri altrettanto importanti. Per questo preferisco consigliare <strong>alcune fonti di ispirazione</strong> che hanno influenzato il mio immaginario visivo. Trovo estremamente stimolante <em>The Romance of Food</em> di Barbara Cartland: mi affascina per la sua estetica quasi <strong>kitsch</strong> e per il modo in cui le immagini del cibo vengono accostate a oggetti come porcellane antiche. &#200; un dialogo visivo molto interessante, soprattutto dal punto di vista cromatico, e continua a essere una grande fonte di ispirazione per i miei make-up. Mi affascinano anche i lavori di <strong>facepainting di Serge Dyakonov e Serge Lutens</strong>, un vero genio visivo, capace di costruire un universo estetico ricchissimo e profondamente personale.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

I live to transform myself, to tell stories through the body and the face, and to bring fantasy into everyday life: a mix of glamour, irony, and a little bit of chaos here and there.&#8221; That&#8217;s how our interview with Stephanie Glitter begins. This is someone who hardly needs an introduction, <strong>except for the ones she gives herself</strong>. A truly multifaceted creative, she has turned herself not only into a character, but also into <strong>a form of &#8220;social art&#8221;</strong> (as she calls it): communicative, entertaining, and incredibly effective. That&#8217;s exactly why we decided to include her, as an honorary guest, in our <strong>Under the Beauty Radar series</strong>, which explores beauty in all its forms, including the unconventional ones.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with Stephanie Glitter</h2><p><strong>This format is dedicated to make-up artists and beauty experts. Give us your pitch: why are you one of them too?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For me, make-up isn&#8217;t just aesthetics, <strong>it&#8217;s identity-building</strong>. Every face I create becomes a character, an amplified emotion. I&#8217;m a professional make-up artist <strong>in every sense of the word</strong>, not only because I paint myself like a living canvas, but because I&#8217;ve worked in fashion for many years: runway shows, red carpets, international campaigns with luxury brands. Along the way, I became increasingly fascinated by artists&#8217; visions, having the technical ability to express their desire to appear in their own theatrical form deeply inspires me. The projects I still carry in my heart are <strong>Dario and Veronica from La Rappresentante di Lista</strong> and, more recently, the visual identity for <strong>Ditonellapiaga&#8217;s album Miss Italia</strong>. I love when work meets my highest aesthetic expression, it draws me in completely.</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/34703bd2-e179-49d7-9a7a-bd89a92ec206_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b42b8d38-84de-4734-b2e1-05e509992ce1_1080x1081.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0dc8c4f-3a23-4cb8-9b1b-41fc9fc80194_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e108c30b-24f0-4dc1-9e85-ce34ab2a0822_3656x4570.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f658caf0-0068-4874-95dd-3e8b8e50e087_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e70e6d19-2d89-40df-a461-df48023706e9_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4c31cb95-a7e7-4e2c-b0cc-202a535bcd2f_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bf9be109-69ab-4bd4-84b7-d18cd39ebe1f_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b804e9e5-93d9-4666-955f-3760b2e3c52a_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter 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/0e964086-c3ee-499e-8910-279ae55b6151_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Do you consider yourself your own make-up artist and hairstylist? What don&#8217;t you do yourself?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Absolutely. I&#8217;m my own laboratory. Make-up, wigs, styling, manicures&#8230;<strong> I do everything myself</strong>. It&#8217;s my obsession. Creating looks is almost a mystical process: the research, attending shows already fantasizing about the next outfit I&#8217;ll wear, then coming back to my studio and starting to piece everything together. It&#8217;s not just a fitting. It&#8217;s <strong>a chaotic dance of iconographic language</strong>. This with that, that with something else. I make an absolute mess: shoes everywhere, wigs tangled with jewelry, earrings on the floor, mountains of clothes hanging around. When a look finally works, I feel this <strong>rush of adrenaline</strong> running through me. The house is left destroyed, and I keep the Polaroid <strong>to remember what to wear</strong> for the next occasion.</p><p><strong>Let&#8217;s get serious again: how important is it for you to have total control over your look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It&#8217;s essential</strong>. My look is <strong>my language and my calling card</strong>: every detail communicates something. Without clothes, accessories, high heels, make-up, and hair, I literally wouldn&#8217;t exist. Stephanie only takes shape through these elements, just like a painting without color would remain a blank canvas. Having <strong>total control </strong>means building exactly the image I want to project and <strong>enjoying it without compromise</strong>, bringing an almost <strong>rhetorical femininity into ordinary contexts</strong>: something that sparks a subtle intellectual itch in whoever&#8217;s watching.</p><p><strong>How would you define your style in three words?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Eclectic, distinctive, and slightly provocative</strong>. I like there to always be a subtle erotic reference hidden within the codes of the way I dress. I often aim for something elegant and playful, usually colorful, but it&#8217;s that <strong>tiny secret mistake</strong> that excites me because it makes everything more interesting.</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/b6ccf6e3-fa6c-41e9-943b-72886c50a907_1080x1346.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8f0cda1a-3506-40c3-96b4-4c3252705715_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/86417894-0a96-4fd8-8e43-427f1c78dd4b_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter look&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2d352454-4415-45a7-a2a0-e33cc3d004d1_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Tell us about your beauty routine in detail (and how long it takes)</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It basically lasts <strong>24 hours a day</strong>&#8230; let me explain. For me, <strong>beauty is a ritual</strong>, a constant practice of self-care. Sleeping well, clearing my mind, eating healthy, and allowing myself the occasional indulgence are the foundations of my method. In everyday life, <strong>I pay special attention to my skin</strong>: skincare morning and night, plus occasional treatments with next-generation devices to encourage skin regeneration. My <strong>cosmetic drag</strong>, on the other hand, takes about <strong>two hours of grooming </strong>from beard to doorway, ready to go out.</p><p><strong>What makes the Milan drag scene unique? Tell us about your journey within it and how it differs from scenes in other cities</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Milan is all about cross-pollination</strong>: fashion, clubbing, art. The drag scene here is highly aesthetic but also experimental. I started performing in underground clubs and built my style by blending fashion and pop culture. There&#8217;s a strong fashion influence here, everything has to be visually powerful, especially lately. Compared to the scenes I experienced in <strong>London</strong>, where glam-punk culture shapes everything, or<strong> Paris</strong>, where French cabaret defines the most sophisticated and precise glam in Europe - maybe even internationally - <strong>Milan feels more carefree and fresh</strong>. It merges the city&#8217;s fashion energy with club culture without too many layers of structure, allowing for a more instinctive creative approach. I feel like I&#8217;ve translated an entire drag encyclopedia into a personal language, distilled into a <strong>kind of minimalism</strong> that preserves its essence while remaining permeable enough to truly <strong>coexist within contemporary society.</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/280243cc-a945-427d-bce4-4802bfd7dc64_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e5e9c84f-0de2-4d6c-a164-d94e9c896fb6_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/34e46fa8-079a-423d-a3de-0f8ae1db2707_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter in milan&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d59d3b34-2b41-445c-8562-7d2d2ae51eef_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Where do you draw inspiration for your looks?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Everywhere</strong>: vintage magazines, runways, cult movies, pop icons, &#8216;90s advertising. Even people on the street can spark an idea in me. I love taking something real and pushing it to the extreme. I keep a folder filled with images, both for myself and for the clients I work with. Having a specific <strong>moodboard for every look</strong> is essential. It&#8217;s a process I genuinely love, the research phase allows me to have all the ingredients ready, like in Asian cuisine. Unlike the way we usually cook, where ingredients are cut and incorporated along the way, in Asian cooking everything is already prepared, cleaned, organized, and ready for assembly. That&#8217;s exactly the approach I apply to my work: I arrive at the make-up or hairstyling moment <strong>fully prepared and organized,</strong> so I can then let myself be inspired by the moment and actually have fun. <strong>First structure, then play.</strong></p><p><strong>Which make-up trends do you love, and which ones can&#8217;t you stand? Do you follow trends in general?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love <strong>the return of gloss</strong>, <strong>intense black eyes</strong>, bold textures, and false lashes. What I can&#8217;t stand are <strong>overly &#8220;clean&#8221;</strong> trends. I observe trends, but I don&#8217;t follow them blindly: I filter and transform them. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, everyone expresses their beauty however they want, but I think make-up is <strong>far too fun not to get a little messy</strong> with it. People often say make-up hides or masks you; I believe the exact opposite. <strong>I think it reveals you</strong>. Embracing nuances, not only in eyeshadow but also within your own identity, moving through them and accepting both their light and contradictions is, to me, <strong>the most authentic beauty routine we can give ourselves</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/bcbadb8c-d070-43a4-9d00-9fefb022349d_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f44e7211-93f5-4b7d-80c4-7033224039e3_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d92c00e9-c934-4ccb-9f48-5ed6c974107c_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter looks&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/76c59369-4e0a-48c5-a475-c48df50facd4_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>What does the future of your look look like?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In my future, I see an increasingly <strong>radical evolution</strong>. I feel like I&#8217;ve moved past a sort of stylistic adolescence. I&#8217;ve experimented with everything: volume, hairstyles, clothes, hundreds of make-up shapes and colors. Now I feel a more authentic confidence with my alter ego, to the point where becoming Stephanie feels as natural as flipping on a light switch. I want to enjoy this new phase, more of a young-adult vibe. I feel like I&#8217;m in my Carrie Bradshaw era. <strong>Through my new editorial project, Senza Zucchero, my free Substack newsletter</strong>, I&#8217;m also exploring another side of my aesthetic and storytelling. One defining feature remains my hair: I still love impulsive transformations, but lately<strong> I&#8217;ve been feeling blonde like panic itself</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!

storie attraverso il corpo e il volto, e portare in scena, nella quotidianit&#224;, una fantasia: un mix di glamour, ironia e un pizzico di caos qui e l&#236;&#8221; cos&#236; si apre la nostra <strong>intervista a Stephanie Glitter</strong>, che non ha bisogno di presentazioni&#8230; se non quelle che fa di se stessa. Una creativa a tutto tondo, che ha fatto di se stessa non solo un personaggio, ma anche una forma d&#8217;arte &#8220;della socialit&#224;&#8221; (come dice lei stessa) comunicativa, divertente, efficace. Per questo, l&#8217;abbiamo inserita ad honorem nel nostro format Under the Beauty Radar, che esplora la bellezza in tutte le sue forme. Anche quelle non tradizionali. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista a Stephanie Glitter</h2><p><strong>Questo format &#232; dedicato ai make-up artist ed esperti della bellezza. Facci un pitch spiegaci perch&#233; sei una di loro anche tu</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il make-up per me non &#232; solo estetica, <strong>&#232; costruzione identitaria</strong>. Ogni volto che creo &#232; un personaggio, un&#8217;emozione amplificata. Sono una pro make-up artist, a tutti gli effetti, non solo perch&#233; dipingo me stessa come una tela viva, ma perch&#233; ho lavorato nella moda per tantissimi anni: sfilate, red carpet, campagne internazionali con brand del lusso. Durante il percorso mi sono sempre pi&#249; appassionata alla <strong>visione degli artisti</strong>: avere la tecnica per esprimere il loro desiderio di apparire nella propria forma scenica mi affascina profondamente. I progetti che porto ancora oggi nel cuore sono Dario e Veronica de <strong>La Rappresentante di Lista</strong> e, pi&#249; recentemente, la nuova immagine del disco <strong>Miss Italia di Ditonellapiaga</strong>. Adoro quando il lavoro incontra la mia massima espressione estetica, mi aggancia in modo delizioso.</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/dd232852-01e7-45c4-b920-3ffe1eb1707b_3656x4570.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5342b8a6-5896-4be7-83da-501ac0dd63b7_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0cbde72-2a17-4351-a102-f716ffcc4139_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1ec178a5-de6b-4d89-8798-9d03c67d47e1_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/65a5c816-cc07-4a90-b217-3b46f914ed47_1080x1081.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e7b8ff3-a614-4346-bb37-6e27de2fbace_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a9d0b04e-97a7-409f-a3d1-ed639da63035_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f01fd3a4-fecd-479f-bb0c-2a95ad625ca3_1080x1349.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4f5605e1-1cdb-41e6-8029-2ceb37c138bd_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;intervista a Stephanie Glitter&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bf3fbc24-7946-49de-a1b5-8f2d3d12a4c0_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Ti senti make-up artist e hair stylist di te stessa? Cosa non fai tu personalmente?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Assolutamente s&#236;, <strong>sono il mio laboratorio</strong>. Trucco, parrucche, styling, manicure... <strong>faccio tutto io</strong>. &#200; la mia ossessione. Creare i look &#232; un momento quasi mistico: la ricerca, andare agli show pregustando il prossimo vestito da indossare, poi ritrovarmi nel mio studio e iniziare a mettere insieme i pezzi. Non &#232; un semplice fitting, &#232; una <strong>danza bulimica di un linguaggio iconografico</strong>. Questo con quello, quello con quell&#8217;altro. Faccio un disastro: scarpe ovunque, parrucche intrecciate ai gioielli, orecchini a terra, montagne di vestiti appesi. Quando il look funziona sento una specie di adrenalina che mi percorre, la casa resta devastata e io conservo la pola per <strong>ricordarmi cosa indossare per la prossima occasione</strong>.</p><p><strong>Ritorniamo seri: quanto &#232; importante per te essere in totale controllo del tuo look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#200; fondamentale. <strong>Il mio look &#232; il mio linguaggio e il mio biglietto da visita</strong>: ogni dettaglio comunica qualcosa. Senza vestiti, accessori, tacchi alti, make-up e hair non esisterei, letteralmente. <strong>Stephanie prende forma solo attraverso questi elementi</strong>, come un quadro senza colori resterebbe una semplice tela bianca. Avere il controllo totale significa costruire esattamente l&#8217;immagine che voglio trasmettere e godermela <strong>senza compromessi</strong>, portando in contesti ordinari una femminilit&#224; quasi retorica che accende un piccolo prurito intellettuale in chi mi osserva.</p><p><strong>Come lo definiresti in tre parole?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Eclettica, distinta e anche un po&#8217; provocante</strong>. Mi piace che ci sia sempre un sottile riferimento erotico nei codici del mio vestire. Punto spesso su qualcosa di elegante e divertente, spesso colorato, ma quel <strong>piccolo errore segreto</strong> mi stuzzica perch&#233; rende tutto pi&#249; interessante.</p><p><strong>Raccontaci nel dettaglio la tua routine di bellezza (e quanto tempo ti ci vuole)</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dura praticamente 24 ore al giorno, mi spiego meglio. Per me la bellezza &#232; <strong>un rito, una pratica costante</strong> di cura di s&#233;. Dormire bene, svuotare la mente, mangiare sano e concedersi ogni tanto qualche capriccio sono le basi del mio metodo. Nel quotidiano ho un&#8217;attenzione particolare <strong>per la pelle</strong>: skincare mattina e sera e, a volte, trattamenti con dispositivi di ultima generazione per favorire la <strong>rigenerazione cutanea</strong>. Il mio drag cosmetico invece richiede circa <strong>due ore di toeletta</strong> per realizzarsi, dalla barba alla porta, pronta per uscire.</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/87403052-2e49-44be-9295-2fea274b9d69_1080x1346.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/67da652f-2c1b-4c44-a738-889f94bc0f63_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d86c7b88-eaf5-4b0a-87d4-7b5137021d6a_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter 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/fffc2d04-e2e6-4ae9-9803-17990d9622c3_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Cosa rende unica la scena drag milanese? Raccontaci il tuo percorso all&#8217;interno e in cosa differisce rispetto a quelle di altre citt&#224;</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Milano &#232; contaminazione</strong>: moda, clubbing, arte. La scena drag qui &#232; molto estetica, ma anche sperimentale. Ho iniziato ad esibirmi nei club pi&#249; underground e ho costruito il mio stile mescolando fashion e cultura pop. Qui c&#8217;&#232; una <strong>forte influenza della moda</strong>, tutto deve essere visivamente potente, soprattutto ultimamente. Rispetto alle scene che ho frequentato a<strong> Londra</strong>, dove la cultura glam punk ne determina le oscillazioni, o a <strong>Parigi</strong>, dove il cabaret francese detta il glam pi&#249; sofisticato e preciso della scena europea (forse anche internazionale), <strong>Milano &#232; pi&#249; sbarazzina e fresca</strong>: unisce la moda della citt&#224; con l&#8217;energia del clubbing, senza troppe sovrastrutture, permettendo un <strong>approccio creativo istintivo</strong>. Sento di aver tradotto una sorta di enciclopedia del drag in un linguaggio personale, ridotto a un minimalismo che ne mantiene l&#8217;essenza ma con la capacit&#224; di essere permeabile e <strong>convivere davvero nella societ&#224; contemporanea</strong>.</p><p><strong>Da dove prendi ispirazione per i tuoi look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ovunque</strong>: riviste vintage, passerelle, film cult, icone pop, pubblicit&#224; anni &#8217;90. Anche le persone per strada possono <strong>accendermi un&#8217;idea</strong>. Mi piace prendere qualcosa di reale e portarlo all&#8217;estremo. Ho una cartella in cui <strong>raccolgo moltissime immagini</strong>, sia per me che per i clienti che seguo. Avere un <strong>moodboard specifico per ogni look</strong> &#232; fondamentale: &#232; un processo che amo, la fase di ricerca mi permette di avere tutti gli ingredienti pronti, come nella cucina orientale. A differenza del nostro modo di cucinare, dove si tagliano e si incorporano gli ingredienti man mano, nella cucina asiatica tutto &#232; gi&#224; preparato, pulito, organizzato e pronto per l&#8217;assemblaggio. &#200; lo stesso approccio che applico al mio lavoro: arrivo al momento del make-up o dell&#8217;acconciatura preparata e ordinata, per poi potermi lasciare ispirare dal momento e divertirmi davvero. <strong>Prima la struttura, poi il gioco.</strong></p><p><strong>Quali trend make-up ami e quali invece proprio non sopporti? Tu segui i trend in generale?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Amo<strong> il ritorno del gloss</strong>, degli <strong>occhi neri intensi</strong>, delle texture bold e delle ciglia finte. Detesto invece i trend<strong> troppo &#8220;puliti&#8221;</strong>. I trend li osservo, ma non li seguo: li filtro e li trasformo. Non fraintendetemi, ognuno esprime il proprio beauty come meglio crede, ma trovo che il make-up sia un gioco troppo divertente <strong>per non &#8220;pasticciarsi&#8221; un po&#8217;</strong>. Si dice spesso che il trucco nasconda, che mascheri, io credo l&#8217;opposto, penso <strong>che riveli</strong>. Accogliere le sfumature, non solo degli ombretti ma anche della propria identit&#224;, attraversarle e <strong>accettarne luci e contraddizioni</strong> &#232;, per me, la beauty routine pi&#249; autentica che possiamo concederci.</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/b1520e19-77df-4a70-907a-454b5582ee1a_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6f3ed6e3-1e2a-4055-91c7-c7ce5c8a8edf_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2e02c8d0-8e7e-4384-9d45-3fd58bfb46c3_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;stephanie glitter trucco e parrucco&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8814f57d-047f-415d-bc90-80339ba141ec_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Cosa c&#8217;&#232; nel tuo futuro dal punto di vista del look</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nel mio futuro vedo un&#8217;evoluzione <strong>sempre pi&#249; radicale</strong>. Ho la sensazione di aver superato una sorta di adolescenza stilistica. <strong>Ho sperimentato tantissimo</strong>: volumi, acconciature, abiti, centinaia di forme di make-up, colori. Ora sento di avere una confidenza pi&#249; autentica con il mio alter ego, al punto da arrivare a Stephanie con la stessa naturalezza con cui si accende la luce da un interruttore. Voglio godermi <strong>questa nuova fase</strong>, una vibe pi&#249; da giovane adulta. Mi sento nella mia <strong>era Carrie Bradshaw</strong>. Con il mio <a href="https://stephanieglitter.substack.com/">nuovo progetto editoriale</a>, <strong>Senza Zucchero, la mia newsletter gratuita su Substack</strong>, sto esplorando anche un altro lato della mia estetica e del mio racconto. Un segno distintivo restano i capelli: amo ancora i colpi di testa, ma ultimamente mi sento <strong>bionda come il panico</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!

going a little deeper. Deeper into the very concept of beauty itself, into inspirations, contaminations, and experimentation. So it was only natural that one episode would be dedicated to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/poiccahontas/">Greta Giannone</a>. To be clear, she&#8217;s the make-up artist behind the looks of <strong>Olly and Gaia </strong>but she&#8217;s also so much more than that. Beneath the surface, this is what she told us, starting from herself and her story before diving into the transformative power of make-up, which doesn&#8217;t just make people look attractive, but does <strong>so much more</strong>.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Interview with Greta Giannone, the SFX make-up artist behind (among others) Gaia and Olly&#8217;s looks</h2><p><strong>Introduce yourself to our audience</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m <strong>Greta Giannone</strong>, I&#8217;m 27 years old and I&#8217;m Sicilian, born in Noto but raised in the province of Varese from 2003 onwards. My passion for make-up was born in Sicily, watching my mother work (she was a make-up artist at the time) and my uncle, who is still a make-up artist and head of the hair and make-up department at the Greek Theatre of Syracuse since 2000. I spent my first springs and summers in that place, surrounded by actors and costumes. When I look for myself, I still see myself <strong>enchanted among those sets and reconstructions.</strong> Right after graduating in human sciences, I wondered whether to continue along that path and study Philosophy or return to something more visceral yet artistic. I was searching for a form of expression; I probably needed to lighten myself after an adolescence full of intense and conflicting emotions. I decided to enroll at the BCM make-up academy and later studied <strong>Special Effects at La Scala in Milan</strong>. I know there&#8217;s destiny in all of this.</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/9ea5ebbe-fb8d-4e2f-9f9e-ae30a5ccac7a_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!oXP6!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7bc5d907-50fa-4024-a1b5-e86860667d1c_2669x3163.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HenI!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a79f9d1-d1cd-4e7f-9e68-c2895f6b91a9_1167x1299.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NvL6!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcee9167f-db02-4c39-84a4-2a03b93dda4a_2316x3088.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!qtj0!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbee6b03a-60c4-4ac8-ab87-704e97cee860_3024x4032.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cW7G!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7d91975d-21b5-4574-afcc-d8f1dd65917c_3024x4032.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/325256f9-de35-4048-ac4f-a85a7dbbcf73_1440x1799.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6cc0581c-7f82-4313-8f47-684d17a1c6e6_1966x2400.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/add83d77-02ec-419d-ae14-c6a2dba79dd7_5669x7087.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone make-up artist 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/f73c6e51-019e-4d1d-9b3d-f78ec362dea4_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Describe your artistic style in three words</strong></p><p>Mutant, sexy, gore.</p><p><strong>You&#8217;re a make-up artist working with stars and singers, but also with prosthetics and SFX make-up. What feels most natural to you?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I feel like both, and <strong>I don&#8217;t fully recognize myself in just one direction</strong>. If I think about what feels most true to me, I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s the dialogue between these two worlds. I identify with both because, ultimately, they answer two different yet complementary needs in the way I create, or even simply the way I see things. Make-up can be an act of listening, while <strong>SFX make-up</strong> is a possibility, a kind of hyper-realistic surrealism. I don&#8217;t think this duality is a contradiction. Make-up always exists between these two poles: on one side it reveals, on the other it alters. It&#8217;s a language that defines and rewrites. In that sense, <strong>I see myself in this oscillation</strong>: between respecting what already exists and imagining what could exist. It&#8217;s constant tension, and that&#8217;s what keeps my work alive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">My approach <strong>changes drastically</strong>, even if the root remains the same. Make-up is the quieter side of my work: it&#8217;s enhancement, observation, the ability to connect with a face. It&#8217;s a delicate gesture, <strong>almost intimate</strong>. I find delicacy rewarding. I look for a balance that feels believable, without interrupting the identity of the person in front of me, especially when we&#8217;re talking about an artist or celebrity. There&#8217;s a deeply relational, almost empathetic component. Special effects activate a more instinctive side of me and require entering <strong>a completely different mindset</strong>. It&#8217;s a more transformative approach, but one developed through highly technical stages: planning, sculpting, moulds, material knowledge, chemical processes, all steps that demand control. It&#8217;s an almost &#8220;mechanical&#8221; precision but also a freer one, a more altered narrative surface. <strong>I work to create illusions that feel believable</strong>, even when they take you far away from reality. In both cases, whether make-up or prosthetics, <strong>the concept of truth</strong> remains central.</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/1a5bc296-c6fd-4106-8c21-18023356a222_2250x3000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/12f449f3-ba9f-4ad4-b723-3d7e4533a2cb_5153x6442.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2a6e6522-ea66-4277-82f8-70b264a089e1_3243x4865.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone 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/a70d1ac3-30fd-427f-81fa-e3f77ccf934e_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Can you tell us about your professional journey?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I started around 2019, after graduating and while attending make-up school. I used to shoot with photographer friends and junior stylists; we needed material and <strong>we needed to put ourselves out there</strong>, to be seen. It took a lot of perseverance and faith in what I was doing. My family was fundamental in this because they were the ones telling me, &#8220;you know what you&#8217;re doing,&#8221; when in reality what I was doing was simply believing in it. <strong>The feedback eventually came</strong>. Music videos, magazines, and so on. Over the years my work evolved, and today I&#8217;m part of the teams of artists I love, both professionally and personally. Between 2024 and 2025 I worked on my first film as head prosthetic department, <strong>Orfeo by Virgilio Villoresi</strong>, presented at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. It&#8217;s a project I carry deeply in my heart because it feels like a small miracle. There&#8217;s still so much to do!</p><p><strong>How does a cover look come to life? Tell us about your creative process</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A cover look is born from the interaction between different departments, from translating an idea into something more concrete and operational. My creative process undoubtedly starts <strong>from the search for meaning</strong>, which I consider fundamental. Often, in project moodboards, I come across countless references (even related to prosthetics) included purely for impact, completely unjustified and without any real narrative reason behind them. I always ask myself: Why?! What is supporting this? I believe a creative process, to truly work, <strong>needs intention</strong>. I need to enter the <strong>narrative framework</strong>, or at least know there is one. Trust me, often there isn&#8217;t. In any case, I constantly feed myself by watching an enormous amount of cinema. I think knowledge is one of the best ways to truly learn how to see.</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/9aee1bee-29f3-4950-b57d-4acdf0cf0567_1080x810.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4cd111c5-ee6a-42ef-9a63-0502ab54f4ac_4032x3024.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3a54eb33-137b-4320-ba54-7c246820c81d_1120x640.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;make-up artist sfx italy today&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/935ecff4-49fc-44b7-8bdc-174749c26881_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>In Italy, the SFX make-up field still feels very niche. The general public barely knows these artists. Why do you think that is?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">On one hand, there&#8217;s definitely a cultural issue. SFX is often associated with genre cinema or very specific productions, so it remains distant from the more immediate language of fashion or the beauty industry, even though in recent years there have been interesting intersections between SFX and fashion. There&#8217;s still <strong>very little awareness</strong> of these figures or this field. It remains a territory that is rarely talked about, and honestly, I&#8217;m okay with that because it feels like a way of preserving it from overuse. That said, I truly hope conditions in Italian cinema evolve in ways that encourage <strong>the use of prosthetics to tell stories</strong> different from the ones we&#8217;re used to seeing.</p><p><strong>SFX make-up doesn&#8217;t seek beauty, but effect. What changes? Do you think there&#8217;s something revolutionary about that?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Everything changes</strong>. It has a completely different goal, above all the need to feel believable. I would define it as unsettling, tied to the Freudian concept of &#8220;Das Unheimliche,&#8221; meaning the familiar made strange. It breaks our habitual perception of reality, creating a kind of mental friction, even if only for a moment. We could say, or believe, that there&#8217;s <strong>something revolutionary</strong> about it not because it rejects beauty, but because it completely detaches itself from that parameter. It&#8217;s a language that doesn&#8217;t aspire to please. Sometimes<strong> it&#8217;s simply necessary</strong>, and that alone is revolutionary. &#8220;Transformation happens because it cannot not happen.&#8221;</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/48dda711-8e2b-4221-b07c-e6d3c3c66da2_5504x8256.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/69fe13a5-0e76-4c83-b74c-6b519da005ea_833x1377.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/908c114d-6272-453e-bf2c-511ccb1a5a52_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;make-up 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/293abbaa-f299-49cb-94d7-5e814dd48bb5_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Which make-up trends do you love, and which can&#8217;t you stand?

I don&#8217;t particularly love the concept of trends itself, nor the way they&#8217;re generated and consumed. <strong>Social media is hungry for content</strong>: everything is immediate and temporary, with very few truly new ideas.

bellezza cercando di andare un po&#8217; a fondo. A fondo al concetto di bellezza stesso, alle ispirazioni, alle contaminazioni, alle sperimentazioni. Era dunque da aspettarselo che una puntata sarebbe stata dedicata a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/poiccahontas/">Greta Giannone</a>. Per intenderci, &#232; la make-up artist che ha realizzato il trucco di <strong>Olly</strong> e <strong>Gaia</strong>, ma &#232; anche tanto altro. Sotto la superficie, questo &#232; quello che ci ha raccontato, a partire da s&#233; e dalla sua storia per andare a nuotare nei meandri del <strong>potere trasformativo del make-up</strong>, che non rende solo molto attraenti, fa anche tantissimo altro.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista a Greta Giannone, make-up artist SFX che ha truccato (anche) Gaia e Olly</h2><p><strong>Presentati al nostro pubblico</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sono <strong>Greta Giannone</strong>, ho 27 anni e sono siciliana, nata a Noto ma cresciuta in provincia di Varese dal 2003 in poi. La mia passione per il trucco &#232; nata in Sicilia, guardando lavorare mia mamma (all&#8217;epoca truccatrice) e mio zio, tutt&#8217;ora truccatore e responsabile del reparto trucco e parrucco del Teatro Greco di Siracusa dall&#8217;anno 2000. Ho passato le mie prime primavere ed estati in quel luogo, tra attori e costumi. Se mi cerco, mi vedo ancora <strong>incantata </strong>tra quegli allestimenti e ricostruzioni. Subito dopo il diploma in scienze umane mi domandavo se continuare su quella linea e studiare Filosofia o ritornare a qualcosa di pi&#249; viscerale ma di artistico, ricercavo un&#8217;espressione, probabilmente avevo bisogno di alleggerirmi dopo un&#8217;adolescenza intensissima di emozioni contrastanti. Ho deciso di iscrivermi all&#8217;accademia di trucco BCM e di seguito ho studiato <strong>Effetti speciali</strong> alla <strong>Scala di Milano</strong>.  So che c&#8217;&#232; del destino in tutto questo.</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/7f256af1-d709-420d-b43f-a4df90d41190_1440x1800.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1cb7a19b-db5f-46bd-8ac9-082cd0e1a94b_1440x1799.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!c0XX!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4e83cce0-4c84-4502-99d7-9d60fa81c693_2669x3163.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v51b!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F576d7cf0-b1f1-4b6f-9546-fb683148c601_1167x1299.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!asdB!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F74881326-4fc6-41b6-9226-682a59abe27c_1966x2400.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!42AB!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc70c05e9-2e3c-403e-ad2e-6db0994e2b26_2316x3088.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DjRG!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b192df3-0841-47b7-bc44-d57c4a13d6b1_3024x4032.heic&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eiEO!,w_200,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdb5a1946-a45e-425b-aa3f-40b8c9a6c6b5_3024x4032.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4d98ca6b-34d7-46be-a1af-e4ab2c99209d_3024x4032.heic&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone trucco&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2e8ba9ff-c233-4943-a5b3-68e525b45969_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Descrivi il tuo stile artistico in tre parole</strong></p><p>Mutante, sexy, gore.</p><p><strong>Sei una make-up artist, ti occupi di star e cantanti ma anche di protesi e SFX make-up. Cosa &#232; pi&#249; nelle tue corde?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mi sento entrambe le cose e non mi riconosco completamente in una sola direzione. Se penso a ci&#242; che sento pi&#249; nelle mie corde, direi che &#232; proprio i<strong>l dialogo tra i due mondi</strong>. Mi riconosco in entrambe perch&#233;, in fondo, rispondono a <strong>due esigenze diverse</strong> ma complementari del mio modo di creare, o anche solo di vedere. Il make-up pu&#242; essere un gesto di ascolto, l&#8217;<strong>SFX make-up &#232; una possibilit&#224;</strong>, &#232; surrealismo iper-realista. Credo che questa dualit&#224; non sia una contraddizione. Il make-up in vive sempre <strong>su questi due poli</strong>: da un lato rivela, dall&#8217;altro altera. &#200; un linguaggio che definisce e riscrive. In questo senso mi riconosco <strong>in questa oscillazione</strong>: tra il rispetto di ci&#242; che &#232; e il desiderio di immaginare ci&#242; che potrebbe essere. &#201; tensione continua e questo tiene vivo il mio lavoro.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il mio approccio cambia in modo molto netto, anche se la radice rimane la stessa. <strong>Il make-up</strong> &#232; la parte pi&#249; silenziosa del mio lavoro, &#232; valorizzazione, osservazione, capacit&#224; di <strong>entrare in sintonia con un volto</strong>. &#200; un gesto delicato, quasi intimo. Trovo gratificante la delicatezza. Cerco un equilibrio che sia credibile, senza interrompere l&#8217;identit&#224; di chi ho davanti, se ad esempio parliamo di un artista (talent) o celebrity. C&#8217;&#232; una componente molto relazionale, <strong>quasi empatica</strong>. Gli effetti speciali attivano una parte pi&#249; istintiva e questo mi richiede di entrare in una logica completamente diversa. &#200; un approccio <strong>pi&#249; transformativo</strong>, ma si sviluppa attraverso fasi molto tecniche, dimensioni progettuali, sculture, stampi, conoscenza dei materiali, processi chimici, tutti step che richiedono controllo. &#200; una precisione quasi &#8220;meccanica&#8221; ma anche pi&#249; libera, &#232; una superficie narrativa pi&#249; alterata, lavoro per illusioni che possano risultare credibili, anche quando portano lontano. In entrambi i casi, make-up e prosthetic, rimane centrale <strong>la dinamica della verit&#224;</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/4a9a1f93-746f-4a96-8891-db048712324f_3243x4865.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1aeafc40-cead-44d9-9230-f6d413dccbbc_5185x4148.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1d1e42e6-94c9-496e-b9fd-636ce9226594_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone 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/2e5a9f31-0835-410f-810e-6d9ad2adc37e_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ci racconti il tuo percorso lavorativo e professionale?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ho iniziato <strong>intorno al 2019</strong>, post diploma e durante il corso di trucco. Scattavo con amici fotografi e stylist junior, ci serviva materiale e ci serviva metterci in gioco, farci conoscere. &#200; servita tanta <strong>perseveranza e fiducia</strong> in quello che facevo, la mia famiglia in questo &#232; stata fondamentale, perch&#233; erano loro a dirmi tu sai quello che fai, in realt&#224; quello che facevo era davvero solo crederci. <strong>I riscontri poi sono arrivati. </strong>Videoclip musicali, magazine, e cos&#236; via. Negli anni il mio lavoro si &#232; evoluto, oggi faccio parte dei team di artisti che amo, anche come persone. Tra il 2024 e il 2025 ho lavorato al mio primo film come head prosthetich department, <strong>Orfeo di Virgilio Villoresi</strong>, presentato all&#8217;82esima mostra internazionale del <strong>Cinema di Venezia</strong>. &#200; un progetto che porto nel cuore perch&#233; &#232; un piccolo miracolo. Ci sono tante cose da fare!</p><p><strong>Come nasce un look da copertina? Raccontaci il tuo processo creativo</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Un look da copertina nasce dall&#8217;interazione dei diversi reparti, tradurre e portare l&#8217;idea su un piano pi&#249; concreto, operativo. Il mio processo creativo parte indubbiamente dalla ricerca del senso, che considero fondamentale. Spesso, nei moodboard dei progetti, mi capita di trovare tantissime reference (anche legate al mondo del prosthetics) inserite perch&#233; d&#8217;impatto, totalmente ingiustificate, senza una reale motivazione narrativa. Mi chiedo: Perch&#233;?! Cosa sta sostenendo questo? Credo che un processo creativo, per funzionare davvero, ha bisogno di intenzione, io ho bisogno di entrare dentro la parentesi narrativa, o almeno che ce ne sia una. Fidatevi, spesso non c&#8217;&#232;. Io comunque mi auto alimento, guardando da sempre tanto tanto cinema, penso che conoscere sia un ottimo modo di/per saper vedere.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ab41581a-5626-4308-9300-8c0b48eef3d0_4032x3024.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d266274b-dc17-4753-849c-c0bb1f62e436_1080x810.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/81a147c3-f882-4c38-83eb-2e0a8659dd83_1120x640.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone effetti speciali 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/a39ff636-3655-4b7e-8bfd-e8109714c233_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Nel campo del SFX make-up, in Italia, emerge poco. Il grande pubblico non conosce gli artisti. Come mai, secondo te?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Da un lato c&#8217;&#232; sicuramente una <strong>questione culturale</strong>, l&#8217;SFX &#232; spesso associato al cinema di genere o a produzioni <strong>molto specifiche</strong>, rimane lontano dal linguaggio pi&#249; immediato della moda o della beauty industry, anche se negli ultimi anni ci sono stati degli inserti interessanti <strong>tra SFX e moda</strong>. Non si ha piena consapevolezza di queste figure o di questo settore, rimane un territorio poco raccontato, e va bene, per me &#232; come <strong>preservarlo dall&#8217;abuso</strong>. Detto questo mi auguro che possano evolversi le condizioni del<strong> cinema Italiano</strong> e che favoriscano l&#8217;uso del prostetico per raccontare storie diverse rispetto a quelle a cui siamo abituati.</p><p><strong>L&#8217;SFX make-up non cerca la bellezza ma l&#8217;effetto. Cosa cambia? Credi ci sia qualcosa di rivoluzionario in questo?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cambia tutto. Ha un obiettivo diverso, in assoluto quello di risultare credibile. Lo definirei perturbante, legato al <strong>concetto Freudiano di &#8220;Das Unheimliche&#8221;</strong>, che indica proprio il &#8220;familiare reso estraneo&#8221;, rompe una percezione abituale della realt&#224;, una frizione mentale, anche solo per poco. Potremmo definirlo, o potremmo credere, che ci sia qualcosa di rivoluzionario non per la ricerca della non-bellezza ma per il fatto che si <strong>svincoli completamente da questo parametro</strong>. &#200; un linguaggio che non ha la pretesa n&#233; l&#8217;obiettivo di piacere, a volte <strong>&#232; semplicemente necessario</strong> e questo &#232; di per s&#233; rivoluzionario. &#8220;La trasformazione avviene perch&#233; non pu&#242; non avvenire&#8221;.</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/0b4b70b7-2238-4e50-a6e9-0b81dbccd2f6_5153x6442.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/de0a1156-350d-4696-96bc-db9b2cabf925_833x1377.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/51181954-3d26-4989-b56a-094e5f670642_5504x8256.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;greta giannone make-up looks olly mahmood&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c375d2b5-fe74-4204-ab1f-0e46bf8cb582_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Quali trend make-up ami e quali invece proprio non sopporti?

My artistic streak has always been there: as a child I would spend my time creating objects out of nothing using cardboard, inventing shows, studying characters and taking care of every detail, from costumes to makeup. After attending art high school, I felt the need to explore this fascination with transformation. I didn&#8217;t know much about makeup from a technical point of view, but I decided to take the plunge and enrolled at BCM in Milan. <strong>It was love at first sight</strong>: there I discovered a wonderful world and started to play with it. What began as an experiment <strong>is now my job</strong>: I&#8217;m a professional make-up artist and I split my time between photo shoots, fashion show backstage and celebrities across Milan, Paris and London.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is the magical introduction to our new episode of <strong>Under the Beauty Radar</strong>, dedicated to <strong>Luciano Chiarello</strong>, a make-up artist without limits. We&#8217;ll let him speak and allow his words to tell and explain his practice, his inspirations, his art and his work. Enjoy the read!</p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Interview with Luciano Chiarello, Milan-based make-up artist</strong></h2><p><strong>Describe your style in 3 words</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Talking about myself always makes me a bit uncomfortable, but over time I&#8217;ve learned that it&#8217;s important to value your own talent and vision. If I had to sum up my approach to make-up in three words, I&#8217;d choose: <strong>thoughtful, colorful, creative</strong>. <strong>Thoughtful </strong>because I always try to carefully study the volumes of the face I&#8217;m working on, the colors and what I want to express with my make-up. <strong>Colorful</strong> because I then let creativity take over, and color is often the path I follow. It can be a single color or multiple shades combined or blended to create new ones. <strong>Creative</strong> because what I love about my style is that I never know where it will end up. I often start with an idea, but if something around me catches my attention - like a beam of light or a reflection falling on my model&#8217;s face - <strong>I change direction</strong>, and what I had planned transforms into something completely different.</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/053e492e-3490-4946-8408-625fcddb81b5_1412x1765.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/315e255b-245b-4619-8f62-ab078bf273f6_1581x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5f0bb861-f55a-4d75-a49c-3c65accf2c5a_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3b24ea7a-4fe3-4548-82e0-2172c9937238_1581x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a001bd51-8002-41ce-add6-97cc7f7023fd_2048x1638.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/79ef5419-6649-4d7c-838b-76a1ea406958_828x522.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd547b71-2cf8-44b7-8bb5-7f85697a017a_702x1051.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f10d5928-c806-4309-9423-f660c1a7f1c5_1158x1460.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/307d8034-cc8c-4af9-b2be-6582f0cae42c_936x1372.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;interview with make-up artist luciano chiarello&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dafc22cb-0526-45db-baa4-850a6466e10f_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Can you tell us about your professional journey?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My &#8220;baptism by fire&#8221; was on the set of a commercial with a famous football player, while I was still in school. From there, the make-up artist I was assisting introduced me to the industry. I worked my way up through commercials, music videos and theatre. Then came the <strong>Venice Film Festival:</strong> for three years I worked on international stars, learning the rules (and secrets) of the industry and the celebrity world. The real turning point, however, came with fashion. Working alongside a hairstylist, I joined an agency and started assisting a make-up artist: Topolino. I&#8217;ll always be grateful to him, it was an incredible learning experience. From there my path really took off as a professional. I worked on editorials and campaigns, also assisting backstage icons like <strong>Charlotte Tilbury, Aaron de Mey, Peter Philips and Lucia Pica </strong>(with her I was part of the core team for all Chanel shows, an unforgettable experience, and today we&#8217;re great friends).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I lived in Paris for three years, working in huge teams on incredible sets, before returning to Milan a year before lockdown. Here I met my current agency, Julian Watson. Today, alongside shoots, I work as a Key Artist for fashion shows of brands like <strong>N21, Alberta Ferretti, Ermanno Scervino, Luisa Spagnoli and Etro</strong>.</p><p><strong>What inspires you? Is there anything unexpected in your references?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I&#8217;m an insatiable observer</strong>. Art, cinema and theatre are my foundations, but I often literally lose focus if something on the street catches my eye. People themselves are a huge source of inspiration: it&#8217;s enough to capture a detail, make it your own and reinterpret it. Something unexpected in my references? <strong>My moodboard is total chaos</strong>, full of contrasts. There was a period when I was obsessed with textures: among my references you could find rusty taps, peeling walls and industrial materials. Anything can translate into inspiration for a color or a texture on the face!</p><p><strong>We met you backstage at fashion shows. How do you bring your creativity into that context and how does it meet the designer&#8217;s vision?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Backstage at a fashion show is <strong>pure teamwork</strong>. The real challenge is merging your creative vision with the needs of the designer and stylist. The process always starts with listening: what is the inspiration behind the collection? What kind of woman do we want to portray? Together we analyze key colors, fabrics, but also the location, lighting and casting. <strong>That&#8217;s when I step in</strong>. I develop a couple of looks that encapsulate the whole narrative, and then we move on to makeup tests. My goal is to never limit myself: I always try to introduce a <strong>bold, creative detail</strong> that makes a difference. At the same time, you need the clarity to understand when &#8220;less is more&#8221;: sometimes a nude makeup and perfectly clean skin have the same visual impact as a highly conceptual look, and they can be the key to making the collection work at its best.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

makeup?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The initial approach is similar in terms of briefing and idea sharing, but the main difference is <strong>the adrenaline of the unexpected</strong>. For a show, you decide the makeup days in advance and have to ensure it&#8217;s replicated identically by your team on dozens of models, adapting it to each face and skin tone. On a photo shoot, instead, everything is live. <strong>You don&#8217;t test anything beforehand</strong>, and your creativity must be fast and reactive. If the concept allows it, you can create incredible things. In those cases, I always prepare a <strong>small moodboard before arriving on set</strong> and bring unusual materials with me, ready to pull a trick out of my sleeve.</p><p><strong>What is your favorite, must-have product?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have a <strong>real obsession </strong>with luminous, ultra-hydrated, flawless skin. Achieving that base would require too many products, but if you pair it with a beautiful red lipstick, you get - at least in my opinion - the essence of beauty in enhancing a woman&#8217;s face. So without a doubt, <strong>I&#8217;d say red lipstick</strong>.</p><p><strong>Tell us about the craziest makeup you&#8217;ve ever created</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 20 years of career,<strong> I&#8217;ve done everything</strong>, but two projects really stuck with me. In London, for an editorial for T Magazine, the photographer wanted the effect of an unfinished sculpture: <strong>I covered the model from head to toe in white clay!</strong> Luckily she had fun, even though it required a lot of patience. Another very &#8220;crazy&#8221; project I did recently involved <strong>gluing mirror fragments </strong>onto the model&#8217;s face, creating the illusion of shattered glass. It was an extremely meticulous and time-consuming process.

Which do you like and which do you avoid?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s definitely a love-hate relationship. Social media is an amazing tool, but professionally speaking it often takes away originality. It repackages old techniques as &#8220;new&#8221; and makes creative thinking lazier: we&#8217;re used to having everything already done and seen, so our brains make less effort to create from scratch. Take the famous glass skin created by <strong>Pat McGrath for the Margiela show</strong>: incredible. But in my opinion, she shouldn&#8217;t have revealed how she did it! Keeping it secret would have pushed us to experiment, to search for our own way to achieve that effect. Instead, knowing everything immediately takes away some of the magic of the process. That said, of course I follow trends. Today, <strong>new languages</strong> are born there and you have to stay constantly updated, because questions about &#8220;new trends&#8221; are always around the corner. In the past, trends were dictated exclusively by the runway, and you had to wait for the next season to see what would be in style; today, social media has completely <strong>taken over </strong>that dynamic.</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!

La mia vena artistica c&#8217;&#232; sempre stata: fin da bambino passavo il tempo a creare oggetti dal nulla usando il cartone, inventavo spettacoli, studiavo i personaggi e curavo ogni dettaglio, dai costumi al trucco. Dopo il Liceo Artistico, ho sentito l&#8217;esigenza di esplorare questo <strong>fascino per la trasformazione</strong>. Non sapevo molto di trucco in senso tecnico, ma ho deciso di buttarmi e mi sono iscritto alla BCM di Milano. &#200; stato un colpo di fulmine: l&#236; ho scoperto un mondo meraviglioso e ho iniziato a giocarci. Quello che era nato come un esperimento, <strong>oggi &#232; il mio lavoro</strong>: sono un make-up artist professionista e mi divido quotidianamente tra set fotografici, backstage delle sfilate e celebrities tra Milano, Parigi e Londra&#8221; questa &#232; la magica introduzione della nostra nuova puntata di <strong>Under the Beauty Rada</strong>r, dedicata a <strong>Luciano Chiarello</strong>, make-up artist senza limiti. Lasciamo parlare lui e lasciamo che siano le sue parole a raccontare e spiegare la sua pratica, le sue ispirazioni, la sua arte e il suo lavoro. Buona lettura!</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Intervista a Luciano Chiarello, make-up artist milanese</h2><p><strong>Descrivi il tuo stile in 3 parole</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Parlare di me mi imbarazza sempre un po&#8217;, ma col tempo ho imparato che &#232; giusto dare valore al proprio talento e alla propria visione! Se dovessi riassumere il mio approccio al make-up in tre parole sceglierei: <strong>pensato, colorato, creativo</strong>. <strong>Pensato </strong>perch&#233; cerco sempre di studiare bene i volumi del volto sulla quale sto lavorando, i colori e quello <strong>che voglio raccontare</strong> con il mio make-up. <strong>Colorato</strong> perch&#233; lascio poi che la creativit&#224; faccia il suo corso e i colori sono spesso la strada che prendo. Pu&#242; essere un colore unico o pi&#249; colori accostati o mischiati per crearne di nuovi. <strong>Creativo </strong>perch&#233; la cosa che mi piace del mio stile &#232; che <strong>non so mai dove andr&#224; a finire</strong>. Spesso inizio con un&#8217;idea, ma se qualcosa attorno mi colpisce o un raggio di luce o riflesso cade sul volto della mia modella allora cambio strada, e quello che avevo pensato <strong>si trasforma in tutt&#8217;altro</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/eb09593f-cf42-43e2-b154-37a595b5d62f_1412x1765.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2b06b110-71ce-4661-87cf-41f39e831bdd_1581x2048.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b8350aaa-746d-456e-a890-c024ac0722c6_1124x1182.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3337fc45-546e-4d5b-a20d-4e91cf108a27_2998x3877.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a7f618c6-9fa5-40d2-8c93-945a3574c7f8_1505x1881.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7489e0c1-c8c0-4936-a123-0d15433a5762_702x1051.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/30dd0f77-5212-4621-86bf-effc8e1304ea_1158x1460.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/30efd96b-3146-4e05-b439-02d35a6d8e43_936x1372.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/07a83471-4c47-4bfb-a14e-d5681a7437d9_1388x1783.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Intervista al make-up artist Luciano Chiarello&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dd027b64-b318-4841-ba04-ac899f5d1812_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Ci racconti il tuo percorso professionale?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il mio &#8220;battesimo del fuoco&#8221; &#232; stato sul set di una pubblicit&#224; con un calciatore famoso, mentre ero ancora a scuola. Da l&#236;, la truccatrice a cui facevo da assistente mi ha introdotto nel settore. Ho fatto <strong>gavetta</strong> tra set pubblicitari, video musicali e teatro. Poi &#232; arrivato <strong>il Festival di Venezia</strong>: per tre anni ho truccato star internazionali, imparando le regole (e i segreti) dell&#8217;industry e del mondo celebrity. La vera svolta, per&#242;, &#232; arrivata <strong>con la moda</strong>. Lavorando insieme a un hairstylist, sono entrato in un&#8217;agenzia e ho iniziato a fare da assistente a un artista del make-up: <strong>Topolino</strong>. Gli sar&#242; per sempre grato, &#232; stata una scuola pazzesca. Da l&#236; la mia strada ha preso il volo come professionista. Ho lavorato su editoriali e campagne, facendo anche assistenza nei backstage a icone come <strong>Charlotte Tilbury, Aaron de Mey, Peter Philips e Lucia Pica</strong> (con lei ero nel core team per tutte le sfilate di <strong>Chanel</strong>, un&#8217;esperienza indimenticabile e oggi siamo grandi amici).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ho vissuto tre anni a Parigi, lavorando in team enormi su set pazzeschi, per poi tornare a Milano un anno prima del lockdown. Qui ho incontrato la mia attuale agenzia, Julian Watson. Oggi, oltre ai set, curo come Key Artist i make-up per le sfilate di brand come <strong>N21, Alberta Ferretti, Ermanno Scervino, Luisa Spagnoli ed Etro</strong>.</p><p><strong>Cosa ti ispira?

L&#8217;arte, il cinema e il teatro sono le mie fondamenta, ma spesso perdo letteralmente la concentrazione se un dettaglio per strada mi colpisce. Anche le persone stesse sono una grandissima ispirazione: basta cogliere un particolare, farlo proprio e reinterpretarlo. Qualcosa di inaspettato tra le mie reference? <strong>Il mio moodboard &#232; un delirio totale</strong>, caotico e pieno di contrasti. C&#8217;&#232; stato un periodo in cui ero in <strong>fissa assoluta per le texture</strong>: tra le mie foto di riferimento puoi trovare <strong>rubinetti arrugginiti, muri scrostati e materiali industriali</strong>. Qualsiasi cosa pu&#242; tradursi in un&#8217;ispirazione per un colore o una texture per il viso!</p><p><strong>Ti abbiamo conosciuto nei backstage delle sfilate. Come porti la tua creativit&#224; in questi contesti e come si incontra con quella del designer?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nel backstage di una sfilata &#232; puro teamwork. La vera sfida &#232; unire la tua visione creativa alle esigenze del designer e dello stylist. Il processo <strong>inizia sempre dall&#8217;ascolto</strong>: qual &#232; l&#8217;ispirazione della collezione? Qual &#232; l&#8217;idea di donna che vogliamo raccontare? Analizziamo insieme i colori di punta, i tessuti ma anche la location, le luci e la<strong> tipologia di casting</strong>. A quel punto entro in gioco io. Sviluppo un paio di look che racchiudano tutta questa narrazione e passiamo al make-up test. Il mio obiettivo &#232; <strong>non limitarmi mai:</strong> cerco sempre di proporre un dettaglio bold e creativo che faccia la differenza. Allo stesso tempo, bisogna avere la lucidit&#224; di capire quando &#8220;less is more&#8221;: a volte un makeup nude e una pelle pulitissima hanno lo stesso impatto visivo di un look super concettuale, e sono la chiave per <strong>far funzionare la collezione</strong> al meglio.</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/3339b529-5a69-46f4-9c50-7fb4c69f6c51_4567x2958.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/3339b529-5a69-46f4-9c50-7fb4c69f6c51_4567x2958.jpeg&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Come cambia l&#8217;approccio da backstage sfilata a trucchi magari pi&#249; editoriali?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">L&#8217;approccio iniziale &#232; simile per quanto riguarda il briefing e la condivisione di idee, ma la differenza sostanziale &#232; <strong>l&#8217;adrenalina dell&#8217;imprevisto</strong>. In una sfilata, decidi il make-up giorni prima e devi farlo replicare in modo identico dal tuo team su decine di modelle diverse, adattandolo a ogni tipologia di viso o tono di pelle. Sul set fotografico, invece, <strong>&#232; tutto live</strong>. Non provi nulla prima e la tua creativit&#224; deve viaggiare ed essere reattiva al massimo. Se il tema dello shooting te lo permette, hai modo di creare cose incredibili. In quel caso cerco di prepararmi sempre un piccolo moodboard prima di arrivare sul set e porto con me in valigia materiali insoliti, pronto a <strong>tirare fuori l&#8217;asso nella manica</strong>.</p><p><strong>Qual &#232; il tuo prodotto preferito e irrinunciabile ?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ho un feticismo assoluto <strong>per la pelle luminosa</strong>, ultra-idratata e flawless. Per ottenerla servirebbero troppi prodotti, ma se a questa base perfetta abbini un bel rossetto rosso, ottieni &#8211; secondo me &#8211; l&#8217;essenza stessa della bellezza per esaltare il volto di una donna. Quindi, senza dubbio, ti dico<strong> il rossetto rosso</strong>.</p><p><strong>Ci racconti il trucco pi&#249; &#8220;matto&#8221; che hai realizzato?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In 20 anni di carriera ne ho fatte di tutti i colori, ma due lavori mi sono rimasti impressi. A Londra, per un editoriale su T Magazine, il fotografo voleva l&#8217;effetto di una <strong>scultura non finita</strong>: ho ricoperto la modella di argilla bianca dalla testa ai piedi! Per fortuna lei si &#232; divertita molto, anche se ha dovuto avere una pazienza infinita. Un altro lavoro molto &#8220;matto&#8221; l&#8217;ho fatto di recente: ho incollato sul viso della modella dei f<strong>rammenti di specchio</strong>, ricreando l&#8217;illusione di un volto di vetro andato in frantumi. Un lavoro certosino, lunghissimo. Anche qui: santa modella e santa pazienza! Scelgo questi due.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png" width="1456" height="967" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:967,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1044741,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/195250224?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tFP4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7cda4393-abce-4b15-b9a5-b98a4ea23853_2184x1450.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Che rapporto hai con i trend beauty? Quali ti piacciono e quali invece eviti</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#200; decisamente un rapporto di amore e odio. I social sono uno strumento bellissimo, ma lavorativamente parlando spesso <strong>tolgono originalit&#224;</strong>. Ripropongono come &#8220;nuove&#8221; tecniche vecchie di anni e impigriscono la mente creativa: ormai siamo abituati ad avere tutto &#8220;gi&#224; fatto e gi&#224; visto&#8221; e i nostri cervelli si sforzano meno di creare da zero. Prendi la famosa glass skin creata da <strong>Pat McGrath</strong> per la sfilata di Margiela: pazzesca. Ma, secondo me, non avrebbe dovuto svelare il segreto di come l&#8217;ha realizzata! Mantenerlo nascosto ci avrebbe <strong>spronato a sperimentare</strong>, a cercare in studio la nostra formula per avvicinarci a quel risultato. Invece, sapendo tutto subito, si perde un po&#8217; la magia della ricerca. Detto questo, ovviamente li seguo. Oggi le tendenze e i nuovi linguaggi nascono l&#236; e devi essere <strong>costantemente aggiornato</strong>, anche perch&#233; le domande sui &#8220;nuovi trend&#8221; sono sempre dietro l&#8217;angolo. Un tempo i trend venivano dettati esclusivamente dalle passerelle e si aspettava la stagione successiva per scoprire cosa sarebbe andato di moda; oggi i social hanno completamente preso il sopravvento su queste dinamiche.</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 la tua attenzione!

Mi definisco una professionista del sorriso: il mio lavoro consiste nel trasformare un dettaglio in un accessorio di design unico. Opero in varie citt&#224; Italiane, dove cerco di unire la precisione tecnica alla visione estetica delle tooth gems&#8221; questo &#232; l&#8217;attacco del nuovo episodio di<strong> Under The Beauty Radar</strong>, il format di <strong>nss G-Club</strong> che indaga il mondo della bellezza sotterranea in tutte le sue applicazioni.

Il mio concetto artistico &#232; nato osservando la luce: non volevo solo decorare, ma creare <strong>sfaccettature</strong> che dialogassero con i lineamenti del viso. Ho trovato la mia voce sperimentando con diverse simmetrie, rendendomi conto che <strong>il dente non &#232; una tela piatta</strong>, ma una superficie tridimensionale che riflette la personalit&#224; di chi lo indossa.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg" width="864" height="1184" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1184,&quot;width&quot;:864,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:115653,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssgclub.com/i/193050079?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TBSn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66d0c0f0-58df-441d-b19a-6cdbb3f4fd99_864x1184.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Adattare l&#8217;applicazione delle gemme a ogni sorriso &#232;

Da dove viene e come hai deciso di farne il tuo lavoro?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">La passione &#232; nata guardando alla <strong>cultura hip-hop degli anni &#8216;90 e 2000</strong>, ma volevo elevarla, portandola in un contesto pi&#249; editoriale e sofisticato. Ho capito che poteva essere il mio lavoro quando ho visto <strong>l&#8217;emozione</strong> dei primi clienti allo specchio. L&#236; ho compreso che le tooth gems sono <strong>un atto di &#8216;self-care&#8217; decorativo</strong>, un modo per riappropriarsi del proprio sorriso.</p><p><strong>Come ti fa sentire il tuo lavoro?

Vedere una/o ragazza/o che esce dal mio studio ridendo a trentadue denti perch&#233; finalmente ama ci&#242; che vede &#232; la parte migliore. <strong>Donare sicurezza </strong>significa dare a qualcuno un motivo in pi&#249; <strong>per sorridere senza filtri</strong>.</p><p><strong>La pratica delle tooth gem negli ultimi anni si &#232; sempre pi&#249; diffusa, arrivando ad essere alla portata di tutti: tra tooth gems artist non certificati e kit acquistabili online, come riconosciamo la validit&#224; di un prodotto/servizio?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">La professionalit&#224; si vede da tre fattori: <strong>igiene, materiali e metodo</strong>. Un vero professionista usa solo adesivi odontoiatrici di grado medicale (non colle industriali!) e gemme prive di piombo. Inoltre, la procedura deve essere assolutamente <strong>non invasiva</strong>: non si fora o lima il dente. Se non c&#8217;&#232; una spiegazione chiara del protocollo igienico o se il prezzo &#232; troppo basso per coprire materiali certificati, &#232; un campanello d&#8217;allarme.</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/1c7e460e-5152-45f9-a85b-e45f194082a3_1064x1506.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/be6d61c3-cef6-4f5f-9739-97e5f12d1f44_1194x1495.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/035bf715-a2ac-4f82-bf60-e1e7b548eb1f_1520x1791.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9df38ee6-9e85-41ae-9fd9-445a9d83a823_1038x1029.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6c944357-d325-4c64-bcdb-35b6f4cf55bd_1568x1374.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e5259a3b-7957-4c3a-803a-f46b11e48531_1760x2002.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;gemme dentali stili italia 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/091e4810-54ea-41a2-aa4e-ae39b77c9480_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Quali sono le tue gemme preferite per decorare un sorriso?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Amo i cristalli <strong>Swarovski Crystal </strong>per la loro luce classica, ma ultimamente sono ossessionata dalle <strong>gemme in oro 18k Gold</strong> - di varie shape - perch&#233; aggiungono un tocco materico e luxury che trovo irresistibile.</p><p><strong>Che consiglio daresti a una ragazza che vuole iniziare a fare il tuo mestiere?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Non avere fretta.

I work in various Italian cities, where I aim to merge technical precision with the aesthetic vision of tooth gems&#8221;. This is the opening of the new episode of <strong>Under The Beauty Radar</strong>, the <strong>nss G-Club</strong> series that explores the underground beauty world in all its forms. Today, for example, we&#8217;re talking <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kolathetoothfairy/">about teeth</a>.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Interview with Kola Payer aka Kola the Tooth Fairy</strong></h2><p><strong>How would you define your aesthetic in three words?</strong></p><p>Ethereal, bold, anatomical.</p><p><strong>Tell us how you started and how you found your artistic expression</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I started out of a desire to merge smile care with self-expression. My artistic concept was born from observing light: I didn&#8217;t just want to decorate, I wanted to create facets that interact with the facial features. I found my voice by experimenting with different symmetries, realizing that a tooth isn&#8217;t a flat canvas, it&#8217;s a three-dimensional surface that reflects the personality of the wearer.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

How do you find the right approach for each client?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every consultation begins with a study of the client&#8217;s facial structure and tooth alignment. I don&#8217;t believe in &#8220;copy-paste&#8221;: I analyze the space and shape of each tooth to suggest a design that enhances, rather than covers, and that lasts over time. The key is listening: I try to understand the client&#8217;s vision, whether they want a minimal, chic touch or a heavier, more underground setup, and translate it into a safe technical plan.</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/2df9de70-43d1-4c55-9510-1da203ebb32b_1425x1685.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b1908341-da4a-4630-8f4f-29e668390245_1388x1544.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/077cb77d-6b32-4299-9785-3c97a236302e_1185x1475.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/00d25ffa-4ebe-480a-8a4c-4e892c180ad8_1799x2257.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6d31b555-1387-4104-9ec4-41a1d6b78677_1956x2161.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c2cbe80c-0308-4007-827b-f6e049eb4d26_1022x854.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;tooth gems italy milan kola payer&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d37a2cc5-f432-4e78-bd12-d8b58abd8fb8_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>How did you become passionate about tooth gems? Where did it come from, and how did you decide to make it your career?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">My passion started from looking at <strong>&#8216;90s and 2000s hip-hop culture</strong>, but I wanted to elevate it, bringing it into a more editorial and sophisticated context. I knew it could be my career the first time I saw the joy on a client&#8217;s face in the mirror. That&#8217;s when I realized tooth gems are a form of decorative self-care, a way to <strong>reclaim your own smile.</strong></p><p><strong>How does your work make you feel? Tell us about the importance of giving confidence to your clients</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s incredibly rewarding. Many people are initially shy about their smiles; my job is to transform that shyness into a strength. Seeing someone leave my studio <strong>grinning ear to ear</strong> because they finally love what they see, that&#8217;s the best part. Giving confidence means giving someone one more reason to smile freely, <strong>without filters</strong>.</p><p><strong>Tooth gems have become increasingly accessible in recent years. With uncertified artists and DIY kits available online, how can someone recognize a legitimate product or service?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Professionalism comes down to three things: <strong>hygiene, materials, and method.</strong> A true professional only uses medical-grade dental adhesives (not industrial glue!) and lead-free gems. The procedure must be <strong>completely non-invasive</strong>, no drilling or filing of the tooth. If there&#8217;s no clear explanation of the hygiene protocol, or if the price is too low to cover certified materials, that&#8217;s a red flag.</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/4cd99040-6972-4538-a518-b8b149df1315_1064x1506.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/deea8e76-3c63-4519-965e-c533c327b932_1194x1495.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3cca1c0-f37c-4be8-a089-e647550af6d5_1520x1791.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ea58eb05-256f-4b2b-b917-646dd63589be_1038x1029.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d9168796-ef36-425d-a34b-ebbe3e05ce5c_1568x1374.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/10fff21e-5df6-4af8-9062-a63dcff84847_1760x2002.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;tooth gems kolathetoothfairy&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/10195668-ee64-4141-afcd-bc87e57de77e_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p><strong>Which gems are your favorite for decorating a smile?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love <strong>Swarovski crystals</strong> for their classic sparkle, but lately I&#8217;ve been obsessed with 18k gold gems in various shapes: they add a tactile, <strong>luxurious touch</strong> that I find irresistible.</p><p><strong>What advice would you give to someone who wants to start doing your job?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t rush.

I&#8217;m Ricky Morandin, I&#8217;m a make-up artist and I live in Milan&#8221; clear, direct and effective. This is how our new episode of <strong>Under The Beauty Radar</strong> begins, a format dedicated to beauty artists in all its forms, now also landing <a href="https://substack.nssgclub.com/">on Substack</a>. &#8220;I mainly work in the fashion industry, so everything related to the creation of lookbooks, advertising campaigns, runway shows and editorials,&#8221; he tells us. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I also sometimes handle make-up for celebrities during events such as the Venice Film Festival.&#8221; A well-rounded perspective on beauty, both on the page and in real life, without forgetting the runway dimension. Not that this limits or constrains his <strong>creative vision</strong>, quite the opposite.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Interview with Ricky Morandin</strong></h2><p><strong>Describe your aesthetic in 3 words</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to my aesthetic, I think of myself as <strong>a whirlwind of confused ideas</strong> that constantly blend together, but if I had to choose three words, I&#8217;d say: <strong>grunge, imperfect, dreamlike</strong>. I&#8217;m very extroverted but at the same time also quite shy, and I hope this personal side of mine comes through in my work.</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/833b7849-c57a-4281-b2f2-5748c3fc668b_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdce8372-0500-4317-93ad-7243a8fd31a9_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d09fac90-fb54-42b8-a8b1-db6c0abeff3f_960x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f3f87e0a-bc20-4b6d-a057-66066262c81f_1824x2280.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e35f2113-aaab-4dc9-bdef-6d7b7299606a_1725x2156.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5434aff6-606b-473f-8a02-b3428ab8e23f_907x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3c74736-5a30-4bb9-866f-00bee083ad89_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b125f2d9-07c1-475c-9509-95168e9a84bd_2624x3280.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7f111cc6-fb4e-4c34-a9a4-de30e9cf0665_800x1200.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;ricky morandin make-up artist intervista foto look&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f7270345-9cbe-417a-ab54-deed351b3b2f_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><br><strong>Can you tell us how you started your journey and how you found your creative expression?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The way I started was <strong>completely &#1089;asual</strong>: I never attended any make-up schools, but I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by the world of art, theatre and circus, where performers often create characters on themselves using costumes and make-up. Having worked in fashion retail for years, I was also always intrigued by the fashion world, especially during <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/en/beauty/44475/mfw-fw26-trend-makeup-glitter-after-runway-lieve-monster">Fashion Weeks</a>, where I admired the creative explosions of different artists. Over time, through friendships with people working in the industry, I started doing my first tests and covers, and it was <strong>exciting</strong>. I&#8217;m also a <strong>very emotional</strong> person, so I admit that at the end of every show, when models return backstage to warm applause, I often get emotional like a child. In recent years, I&#8217;ve been receiving <strong>a lot of satisfaction</strong>, both commercially and editorially, and I&#8217;ve started managing make-up teams for runway shows, such as <strong>Antonio Marras</strong>, whom I&#8217;ve been working with for several years now, building a strong and trusting relationship.</p><p><strong>Where does your inspiration come from? Is there a specific medium (cinema, music, art or literature) that has particularly influenced your visual universe?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love constantly mixing different concepts, drawing inspiration from theatre, circus, films or past movements. I&#8217;m a huge fan of <strong>horror films</strong> and, oddly enough, some ideas were born from make-up looks seen in those movies. I love dark atmospheres, but I try to make that melancholy intriguing rather than scary. What do you want to communicate with your looks? I&#8217;d like people to feel that, within each project, everyone involved felt free to express themselves while having fun. Fashion can be, in some ways, a <strong>harsh world</strong>, but it&#8217;s also a place where the goal is to <strong>create emotion</strong>. More broadly, not just in our field, I&#8217;d love for people to start experimenting again with bold looks, to rediscover a more authentic identity. I was born between the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s, surrounded by people with countless looks and identities, <strong>all different but all real</strong>. Today, unfortunately, there&#8217;s a tendency to conform too much, and I do miss that about the past.</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/57a0136d-3b9c-47fe-90d9-399c6515b66c_849x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ffdb96b-c613-488d-9ea4-1bb8c1ed7d13_1080x1352.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b436f5b4-bb1f-4ff4-9926-740a74646e3d_1105x1180.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;look e foto ricky morandin intervista nss g club under the beauty radar&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d352e15a-8008-45a2-b99e-25cd2e70a5a1_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>What do you want to communicate with your looks?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;d like anyone looking at my work to feel that, within each project, people <strong>felt free to express themselves while having fun</strong>.

Today, unfortunately, there&#8217;s a tendency to <strong>conform too much</strong>, and that&#8217;s something I truly miss about the past.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What does it mean to be a key make-up artist for a runway show? How do you manage the creation of looks? Tell us about your work backstage and how it differs from working on set</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Being a <strong>Key Artist</strong> for a show, besides giving me great professional and personal satisfaction, is definitely one of the parts of my job I enjoy the most (even if the pressure of finding the perfect idea can sometimes be overwhelming). Starting from an idea <strong>discussed with the designer</strong>, we begin to think about what could work. Recently, I bought a tablet with a program that allows me to draw over photos. Once I have a concept, I use a picture of the model&#8217;s face as a base and sketch over it to visualize the final result, studying proportions, colors, and so on. It&#8217;s important to find <strong>a striking idea</strong> that is also easy to execute to avoid issues. Backstage, there&#8217;s never enough time. That&#8217;s why I tend to organize specific teams, creating a sort of <strong>assembly-line workflow</strong>, where everyone focuses on a precise task. Unlike studio or on-set shoots, where more time is dedicated to one person, runway shows require you to be everything at once: fast but precise, organized but ready for the unexpected. It&#8217;s an emotional mix that I truly love, especially when, at the end, you see on the runway what you&#8217;ve been imagining for days and nights. <strong>On set</strong>, what I enjoy most is creating a relaxed atmosphere between myself and the team, stylists, photographers, models, etc. I also always try to arrive early to set up my make-up station and make sure everything is clean and sanitized (which I consider essential in our job) before the shoot begins.</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/a8eac300-46bc-416f-8b2c-81d9b120626f_1149x1193.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3aba7579-793f-4e89-98e2-abd39ba4fce5_939x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/900077e0-28a3-4406-9e34-0added1db791_960x1200.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;ricky morandin trucco &quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f4922081-72ce-426d-8c01-12c1210888df_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>What do you think about make-up trends? Which trend do you love and which do you hate?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to make-up trends, I tend to stay fairly <strong>neutral</strong>. I&#8217;m always fascinated when a look I created, or one by another artist, becomes an inspiration for someone. At the same time, I&#8217;ve always been <strong>a bit rebellious</strong>, and <strong>by choice</strong> I avoid following current trends, focusing instead on creating what truly satisfies me, trying in my own way to bring something different.</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">Discover more!

Sono <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ricky_morandin/">Ricky Morandin</a>, sono un make-up artist e vivo a Milano&#8221; chiaro, diretto ed efficace. Inizia cos&#236; il nostro nuovo episodio di <strong>Under The Beauty Radar</strong>, format dedicato agli artisti della bellezza in tutte le sue forme, che oggi approda anche su Substack.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Prevalentemente lavoro nel settore moda, quindi tutto ci&#242; che riguarda la creazione di lookbook o campagne pubblicitarie, sfilate ed editoriali&#8221; ci racconta. &#8220;Mi capita anche di seguire il make-up per alcune celebrities durante eventi come il Festival del Cinema di Venezia&#8221; dunque, una visione sul beauty <strong>a tutto tondo</strong>, su carta stampata e nella vita vera, senza dimenticare la dimensione della passerella. Non che questo <strong>fermi o limiti la sua visione creativa</strong>, anzi. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Intervista a Ricky Morandin</strong></h2><p><strong>Descrivi la tua estetica in 3 parole</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Riguardo la mia estetica penso di essere <strong>un turbinio di idee confuse</strong> che si mischiano sempre, ma se dovessi scegliere 3 parole mi definirei: <strong>grunge</strong>, <strong>sbagliato</strong>, <strong>onirico</strong>. Sono molto estroverso ma allo stesso tempo anche molto timido, e nel mio lavoro spero di far trasparire questo mio lato personale.</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/833b7849-c57a-4281-b2f2-5748c3fc668b_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdce8372-0500-4317-93ad-7243a8fd31a9_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d09fac90-fb54-42b8-a8b1-db6c0abeff3f_960x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f3f87e0a-bc20-4b6d-a057-66066262c81f_1824x2280.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e35f2113-aaab-4dc9-bdef-6d7b7299606a_1725x2156.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5434aff6-606b-473f-8a02-b3428ab8e23f_907x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3c74736-5a30-4bb9-866f-00bee083ad89_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b125f2d9-07c1-475c-9509-95168e9a84bd_2624x3280.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7f111cc6-fb4e-4c34-a9a4-de30e9cf0665_800x1200.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;ricky morandin make-up artist intervista foto look&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f7270345-9cbe-417a-ab54-deed351b3b2f_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><br><strong>Ci puoi raccontare come hai iniziato il tuo percorso e come hai trovato la tua espressione creativa?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il modo in cui ho iniziato io &#232; stato <strong>del tutto casuale</strong>: non ho mai frequentato scuole di make-up, ma sono sempre stato affascinato dal mondo dell&#8217;<strong>arte</strong>, dal <strong>teatro</strong>, dal <strong>circo</strong>, dove spesso gli attori creavano su se stessi un personaggio con l&#8217;utilizzo di costumi e make-up. Lavorando per anni nell&#8217;abbigliamento, sono inoltre sempre stato incuriosito dal mondo della moda, specialmente durante <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/beauty/44475/mfw-fw26-trend-makeup-glitter-after-runway-lieve-monster">le Fashion Week,</a> dove ammiravo le varie esplosioni di creativit&#224; di ogni artista. Col passare del tempo, tramite varie amicizie che lavoravano nel settore, ho iniziato con i primi test e le prime cover ed <strong>&#232; stato emozionante</strong>. Sono tra l&#8217;altro molto emotivo, quindi ammetto che a fine di ogni show, quando le modelle e i modelli rientrano nel backstage con un caloroso applauso, spesso <strong>mi commuovo come un bambino</strong>. Negli ultimi anni sto ricevendo tantissime soddisfazioni sia a livello commerciale che editoriale, iniziando a gestire team make-up per delle sfilate, come per esempio <strong>Antonio Marras</strong>, che seguo ormai da diversi anni e con cui ormai si &#232; instaurato un bellissimo rapporto reciproco di fiducia.<br><br><strong>Da dove viene la tua ispirazione? C&#8217;&#232; un mezzo in particolare (il cinema, la musica, l&#8217;arte o la letteratura) che ha influenzato in modo speciale il tuo universo visivo?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adoro mischiare sempre concetti diversi, trovando ispirazioni dal mondo del teatro, del circo o da qualche film o correnti passate. Sono un fanatico dei <a href="https://www.nssgclub.com/it/lifestyle/34457/film-horror-da-vedere">film horror</a> e, per assurdo, alcune idee sono proprio nate guardando dei make-up visti in questi film. Amo <strong>le atmosfere cupe</strong>, ma cerco di rendere quella malinconia <strong>intrigante</strong> e non paurosa.</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/57a0136d-3b9c-47fe-90d9-399c6515b66c_849x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ffdb96b-c613-488d-9ea4-1bb8c1ed7d13_1080x1352.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b436f5b4-bb1f-4ff4-9926-740a74646e3d_1105x1180.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;look e foto ricky morandin intervista nss g club under the beauty radar&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d352e15a-8008-45a2-b99e-25cd2e70a5a1_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>Cosa vuoi comunicare con i tuoi look?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Vorrei comunicare a chi guarda il mio lavoro che in quel progetto la gente si &#232; <strong>sentita libera di esprimersi</strong> divertendosi. La moda &#232; sicuramente, sotto alcuni aspetti, un mondo spietato, ma &#232; anche un luogo dove l&#8217;obiettivo &#232; quello di <strong>creare un&#8217;emozione</strong>. Vorrei inoltre, non solo nel nostro settore ma in generale, che la gente iniziasse a sperimentare look anche esagerati per tornare ad avere un&#8217;identit&#224; <strong>pi&#249; autentica</strong>. Sono nato negli anni 80-90, ero circondato da persone con mille look e mille identit&#224;, <strong>tutte diverse ma vere</strong>. Purtroppo oggi si tende ad uniformarsi troppo e questo ricordo degli anni passati un po&#8217; mi manca.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>Cosa significa essere key make-up artist per una sfilata? Come gestisci la creazione dei look? Raccontaci un po&#8217; il lavoro che svolgi nei backstage e come si differenzia da quello sul set</strong><br><br>Essere <strong>Key Artist per uno show</strong>, oltre a darmi una grandissima gratificazione a livello professionale e personale, &#232; sicuramente una delle parti del mio lavoro che pi&#249; preferisco (anche se spesso la smania di trovare l&#8217;idea perfetta mi d&#224; anche molta ansia). Partendo da un&#8217;idea chiacchierata con il designer si inizia a pensare a cosa potrebbe funzionare, e di recente ho comprato un tablet con un programma per poter disegnare sopra le foto. Una volta individuata l&#8217;idea uso come foglio una foto del viso della modella su cui lavorer&#242; ed inizio a <strong>disegnarci sopra</strong> per avere un accenno del risultato finale, studiando proporzioni, colori ecc ecc. &#200; importante trovare un&#8217;idea accattivante ma anche <strong>facile da realizzare</strong> per evitare intoppi. Nei backstage il tempo non &#232; mai abbastanza. Infatti tendo a creare gruppi specifici, in modo che il lavoro abbia un effetto <strong>a catena di montaggio</strong>: ognuno si dedica ad una mansione precisa. A differenza degli shooting in studio o sul set, dove spesso il tempo &#232; molto pi&#249; dedicato ad una persona, durante gli show<strong> bisogna essere un po&#8217; di tutto</strong>: veloci ma precisi, organizzati ma pronti all&#8217;imprevisto. &#200; un mix di emozioni che di base amo molto, specialmente quando terminato il tutto riesci a vedere realizzato in passerella quello che hai pensato per giorni e notti intere. Sul set ci&#242; che mi piace &#232; creare un&#8217;atmosfera rilassata tra me e le persone presenti, come stylist, fotografi, modelle/i ecc ecc. Tendo sempre inoltre ad <strong>arrivare in anticipo</strong> per poter sistemare la postazione make-up e far s&#236; che sia tutto pulito e disinfettato (a parer mio cosa fondamentale nel nostro mestiere) prima dell&#8217;inizio dello shoot.</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/a8eac300-46bc-416f-8b2c-81d9b120626f_1149x1193.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3aba7579-793f-4e89-98e2-abd39ba4fce5_939x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/900077e0-28a3-4406-9e34-0added1db791_960x1200.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;ricky morandin trucco &quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f4922081-72ce-426d-8c01-12c1210888df_1456x474.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>Cosa pensi dei make-up trend? Quale make-up trend ami e quale odi?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Riguardo ai make-up trend rimango in una posizione abbastanza <strong>neutrale</strong>. Sono sempre molto affascinato quando e se un make-up che viene proposto da me o da qualche altro collega diventa ispirazione per qualcuno. D&#8217;altro canto sono sempre stato un po&#8217; <strong>ribelle</strong> e per scelta <strong>evito sempre di seguire trend attuali</strong>, realizzando ci&#242; che semplicemente mi rende soddisfatto, provando nel mio piccolo a creare qualcosa di diverso.</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">Vuoi saperne di pi&#249;?
