Lucia Pieroni
I have chosen Lucia Pieroni as another make up artist that inspires me. She stumbled into the make up world, and has been firmly in it since. She first started doing the make up for her sister who used to model, who then proceeded to introduce Lucia to her photographer friend, who she became assistant to. Once she had a sufficient portfolio she got herself an agent who is still her agent to this day(Wendy Rowe, 2013).

Mood board of Lucia Pieroni's work |
She has worked with many big names such as; Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Madonna, and Amanda Seyfried (currently the face of Clé de Peau Beauté) where Lucia is creative arts director, I have talked about Cle De Peau in a previous post. She has done covers for ELLE, French Vogue, American Vogue, and English Vogue.
The thing that struck me the most the first time I saw her work was how clean everything is, that was the most stand out thing for me. I'm aware that there are many other make up artists that also do this but its something about the way Lucia Pieroni uses the products that creates a flawless look every time.
Even her heavier make up looks, don't look ultra heavy that is a talent! That's the one thing that I hope to achieve is a perfect balance.

Lucia Pieroni for LOVE magazine |
Above are a collection of images from a shoot for LOVE Magazine in 2012, Lucia Pieroni was the make up artist, I could not pick a favourite so I've decided to show my favourite 7! The shoot is quite dark and moody, and so creative the amount of products used is insane, from feathers, to chalk paint, to what looks like tin foil, to newspaper.... to a lamb! The whole thing is so theatrical, and the wide range of make-up skills used is ridiculous. It inspires me so much to get creative and avant garde with make up! Every image is so powerful, you can't take your eyes off them! The shoot involved alot of people;
Photographer: Mert & Marcus
Models: Malgosia Bela, Mariacarla Boscono, Saskia De Brauw, Justus Eisfeld, Oliver Greenall, Kristen McMenamy, Kate Moss, Julia Nobis, Rosie Tapner & Guinevere Van Seenus

Overall Lucia Pieroni's skill is what inspires me, I really hope that one day I will have a portfolio as versatile and flawless as hers!
