Makeup artist Emerald Vysions introduces herself as a "face poet." She picks elements from memorable film scenes and turns them into makeup motifs. She has essentially moved the cinema onto her eyelids.
For Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, she took the red and the feathers that fill the screen. She translated them into red pigment, jewels, and white feathered lashes. For Daisies, she stacked layers of red and white lashes over shimmering lids and added petal-like details around the eyes. In The Florida Project, she layered purple, yellow, and turquoise, dotted purple glitter below, and set yellow lashes upright. For Portrait of a Lady on Fire, she mixed blue, white, and gold, then added green accents to recreate the dress from the painting.
Looking at her eyes, you sense the mood of a film before you recall its title. A two-hour movie screens again on a few centimeters of face. She compresses a film's narrative through color, texture, and light alone.
If you have a favorite film, imagine what that scene would look like on your eyes.
