Cosmetics have been used for years to enhance natural beauty. The first dated use of cosmetics was in Egypt around 3500 BC during the Ancient Egyptian times. Egyptians' make-up resembled cats, darkening the eye lids with a type of eyeliner called kohl and eye shadows. Ancient Rome also used cosmetics. The ancient kingdom of Israel also used cosmetics recorded in the Old Testament in the Bible, 2 Kings 9:30, where Jezebel painted her eyelids.
Some who I know that is mastering the art of the face is Valerie Tilghman. Valerie started mastering the art by doing make-up for proms, wedding, friends, and Drag shows. Inspired by the colors in nature she uses the blank canvas of a face and enhances it with earth tones and floral colors, contouring the natural curves of the face with an edge creating a masterpiece. She believes every face is beautiful, although some may need to be more defined but still hold a unique beauty that differs from everyone elses'.
Other inspirations of Valerie include fashion magazines such as Zink, W, and Allure. Make-up artist inspirations includes Francios Nars, Pat McGrath and many others!
Valerie says “I really study the individuals face. It sounds crazy but I let it speak to me and show me what features to highlight. I like to follow the natural curve of the lips and play up the cheekbones“.
Valerie says “I would never choose to do another field besides make-up artistry, but if I could change one thing in the world, I would expand the tolerance of each person's differences. No one should judge anyone. Let people be who they are andlong as they are not forcing their opinions and lifestyles on you, then so be it. Embrace the differences. You might learn something.”
Her most recent favorite fashion moment was local. She participated in Baltimore fashion week where she watched her models prowl down the runway!:)
I believe Valerie Tilghman is going to take the world of cosmetics and make-up artistry by storm!
