Art and make-up, its the same blur as art and fashion, or even art and architecture, the art is universal, interrelated to each other with a lot of aspects. The work that you see above is probably the proof of the universality of art. Created by make-up artist and Illamasqua's Creative Director Alex Box. This one work made ​​on human skin, taking Cubism as its theme, an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Geometric lines clearly revealed through color contrast which is dominated by red and white, with purple as an accent. Also can be seen a bit of glitter effect, bringing a dramatic and futuristic look. What makes this work more special, is a touch of Alex, which really makes it look like a painting, could outwit anyone who saw it for the first time. Aside from her "Picasso", this work somehow looks like a combination of two other famous painting, The Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde), a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci and the famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (Dutch: Het Meisje met de Parel) by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. This is not the only work of Alex, below are a few other works with a variety of themes, from top to bottom, here they are...
