In the following paragraph, Aaron de Mey describes changing and advancing the technology of makeup through beauty - DC

“It’s about me creating references and a lot of research. It’s about me inspiring the scientists and the laboratories. It’s about me inspiring the whole creativity. My definition of a makeup artist is bringing a sensitivity and a strong sensibility of beauty and femininity, really embracing the woman’s face and me not layering over a mass. It’s about me indulging a woman and taking something from her and being inspired by her…so that’s my job. It’s about creating beautiful textures and very new technologies within makeup and a general overall aesthetic” - Aaron de Mey, Makeup Artist - biography

“The makeup was crisp, gleaming, and sharp like the white-tipped crest of a wave. We went with white eyeliner - MAC Pure White Acrylic Paint - instead of punk’s usual black - and used an angled synthetic brush to draw a thin line. I applied the colour starting at the center of the lid and drew the line to the very outer corner of the eye, restarting it again at the inner-eye corner, and tracing the lash line to meet the center point."
