Makeup artist CHOI YURI has released a makeup book that breaks free from homogenized beauty standards. This archive elevates makeup into visual art, showcasing her witty and fearless imagination as she plays freely with texture and color across every look.

The book's greatest appeal lies in its bold concepts that move effortlessly between two extremes. It features makeup that twists traditionally Korean elements associated with understated elegance through an intensely contemporary lens, alongside surreal makeovers that transform the human face into something entirely unfamiliar. Her creative spectrum is nothing short of remarkable. The first image's iridescent metallic painting is a prime example. The second image reveals a sculptural eye makeup using diamond embellishments and feather pieces.

The third slide presents an architectural eyebrow ornament where floral motifs intertwine with black curves. The fourth showcases a look with sculptural eye pieces placed on the face, seemingly inspired by hanbok. Each makeup transcends mere cosmetics to become artwork unfolding across the face. CHOI YURI's archive, born from her relentless exploration of beauty without a single right answer, serves as a refreshing antidote to formulaic makeup fatigue.
