Lisa Houghton, Makeup Artist, New York

Description

This close-up portrait showcases striking avant-garde makeup artistry by Lisa Houghton, featuring stark white face paint framing the face, dark glossy burgundy lips, and sharp white eyeliner. The subject, an East Asian woman in her 20s, has dark hair styled in an elaborate, sculptural updo. The lighting introduces contrasting blue and warm orange tones across the shoulders and face, creating a dramatic mood. She wears an off-the-shoulder red garment, and a minimalist gold ear cuff is visible on her left ear. The composition is tight and focused, highlighting the skin texture and glossy lip finish.
