Who: Becca Gilmartin What: Make-up artist, body painter and hair stylist Backstory: With skin as her canvas, this make-up maven’s mastery has graced the pages of Vogue, RUSSH and her very own book.

What’s your earliest memory of make-up? One of my childhood idols was Boy George… so you could say I have very colourful early memories of make-up.

Why a make-up artist and how did you make it happen? In all honesty, I thought make-up would be a good job to do whilst I pursued acting. I originally wanted to just be a body artist but then I discovered Peter Frampton’s Cinemagraphic make-up course, got accepted, and the rest is history.

Where do you draw creative inspiration from? I am a closet art junkie so most of my ideas come from art. I also get a lot of creative ideas whilst listening to music. I created the whole concept of my book We the Painted whilst listening to Sigur Ros’ album, Valtari.

What’s the biggest misconception about what you do? There are quite a few. 1. That it’s glamorous. 2. It’s a job for people who aren’t smart for anything else. 3.  That it’s easy. 4. It’s superficial. 5. It isn’t a real job. 6. I get paid to paint naked people (in 15 years I am yet to paint a complete nude).

Your craziest/coolest project to date? Ha! They are all pretty crazy… really… probably my coolest to date was being flown to the Joshua Tree Desert in California to paint a male model as a Thomas Merton/narcissus flower character for Kimbra’s Golden Echo album cover.

Words of advice for budding makeup artists? Be kind, be resilient, be consistent and persistent, never undercut another artist, be patient with your career and remember we are here to make others feel good as much as they look good… so watch your words… don’t beauty shame.
