Gotta meet your alien with a beat face.
How long have you been a makeup artist and what first got you interested in makeup?
I started doing makeup on myself when I was a teenager. It was a mixture of music, queer culture, and art that made me start to paint my face. I wanted to present myself androgynously. I had older friends who did drag and dressed up a lot, and they are still some of my closest friends to this day. They taught me all about the history of the music we listened to and showed me every film and documentary about gay and drag culture.
I fell in love with performers like Leigh Bowery, glam rockstars like David Bowie and death rock icons like Rozz Williams. I also grew up listening to '90s music like Placebo,, Nine Inch Nails, etc. When I was 16, I came across one of Kevin Aucoin's books in the local bookstore where I grew up in Massachusetts. I realized then that makeup could be a profession. I think it was all of these things that set the tone for my aesthetic sensibility in makeup.
Andrew D'Angelo on Instagram: “Area 51 x @lovecraftbeauty . Watch the full video to see how I did it on LCB’s YouTube channel! #alienbeauty #alienchic #makeup #sfxmakeup…”I think first and foremost, I see makeup as a queer folk art. I'm interested in not only the commercial aspects of beauty, like how to help people look their best, but how and why people, in particular queer people, are so drawn to transforming themselves and creating a fantasy. It's more popular nowadays than ever.
So for me, I suppose the message has something to do with telling some sort of personal truth. Designing high fantasy, while striving to achieve it with elegance and narrative. In the case of the alien look for [Lovecraft Beauty], aliens are a perfect character to represent"otherness." We create aliens in fiction to represent the unknown, the"out there." Yet we still manage to comment on something that relates directly to us in doing so.
