LA-based makeup maven’s masterclass in the city
I’m lazy, I don’t like to edit much. I prefer to retake images so that they are close to perfection.
JORDAN LIBERTY MAKEUP ARTIST
LA-based makeup artist Jordan Liberty conducted his first-ever beauty masterclass in India, held in the ballroom of The Lalit, New Delhi. The event elicited a great response and was attended by an array of aspiring makeup artists, keen to learn tricks of the trade from the master himself. Liberty wore a Versace cap along with a printed shirt and sneakers, keeping his overall style casual and fun. “I had to look like an LA boy,” chuckled Liberty, when someone complimented him on his flamboyant look. With his quick wit, he left no scope for a dull moment in the three hourlong masterclass. The makeup maven, photographer and educator has, till date, been a part of approximately 56 events in 21 countries, where he’s held these masterclasses.
Addressing a panoply of professionals all engrossed in the makeup Liberty was working on, he said, “I’m influenced by the ’70s,” as he added a tinge of glitter Marsala colour on the model’s eyelids. In another look, he used Swarovski crystals to make a veil-like effect on the face.
After finishing off the look with highlighter and perfectly blended eyeshadow, he moved towards taking some professional shots.
Against a black background, he shot the freshly-painted model, who looked every bit glamorous after the session. Liberty answered all questions related to makeup and photography, explaining how he is a perfectionist and why he hates editing images. “I’m lazy, I don’t like to edit much. I prefer to retake images so that they are close to perfection,” explained Liberty.
