Home / Makeup Art by Carolina Escalante
Hi! I am Carolina, Makeup Artist, Self-Portrait Photographer and Painter.
For me, nothing compares to the happiness and joy I feel when I pick up a brush. I am my happiest person when creating and I hope to transmit this deep love that I feel for art, creativity and beauty through my makeup art.
Since I am a mother and work from home, most of my creations are made from my precious magical corner: My home studio. Unless it is a collaboration with other talented artists and then the stages can be anywhere!
One of the most essential characteristics of my artistic makeup work is COMBINATION: combine styles, aesthetics, conjugate opposites… “formulas” that are unusual or unconventional.
So you will surely find these pieces in more than one collection and in fact several of them are also found in the painting and photography as well, since I also use and combine elements of these and between them.
At this point in my artistic career, the lines that divide some disciplines from others are increasingly blurred… and I love that.
So, here I present the most characteristic styles or themes in my makeup works of art.
Fascinated by color and textures from a very early age, I remember seeing my mother applying makeup with her eyeshadow palettes, I couldn’t stop looking at her, it was something that gave me a lot of joy.
And the rest of my life was no exception, I have always loved makeup, beauty and color, but I had not studied it professionally, until as an adult, this passion overflowed to a point where I decided to take a a -3 month- social makeup course to learn about proportions, techniques and products.
This study helped me a lot to understand the art of makeup at a technical level, since I used to create my designs very intuitively, but I knew that something was missing to take them to the next level and that was studying makeup professionally.
But being a single mother and director of an arts academy at that time, I could not continue my studies in artistic makeup, so I had to use my creativity to continue practicing and learning in a self-taught way, because although social makeup taught me and helped a lot with the technique, my true love has always been artistic makeup.
And so I continued to this day…
I love Artistic makeup because through it, I weave emotions and sensations, evoking amazement and visual pleasure within the beholder. Everything becomes a muse, a state of mind, an image, or a fleeting feeling. Makeup, the gateway to my soul, forms an emotional bond with the world, an enduring connection of artistry and human spirit.
Have a blank wall that needs a little bit of love? A selected collection of my best Makeup Artworks is available as Fine Art Editions.
In my makeup art, I blend the realms of beauty and fine art to create powerful visual narratives. Each piece transcends traditional makeup, using the human face as a canvas to express deep emotions and stories. Through intricate designs and bold color choices, I seek to reveal my inner world, capturing moments of vulnerability, strength, and transformation.
These collections are a testament to the limitless possibilities of makeup as a medium for artistic expression.
