“There is a kaleidoscope of possibilities in the world of makeup.” —Makeup artist and painter thirrrsst (Michelle Abundiz) ⁣ ⁣ “Makeup is especially fun when there is room for failure; it’s all about determining the best methods for the desired outcomes through various experimental techniques. While in the midst of creating a look, I am already getting inspired for what’s next, so the inspiration is unceasing,” says Michelle, who incorporates references from nature, including flora and insects, and textural elements into her looks. ⁣ ⁣ “I approach makeup as I do any of my canvases. My exploration of the vibrant realm of makeup transcends conventional boundaries. I aim to invite others to embrace their unique essence and revel in the artistry of self-expression.” ⁣ ⁣ thirrrsst is one of 24 young, unique, difference-makers and catalysts we love who is sparking the cultural zeitgeist. #24for24 🌸 ⁣ ⁣ Video by thirrrsst
