Really pumped I do not wear make-up on a daily basis after having watched this video done up for NOWNESS by Dutch directors Lernert & Sander.  They enlisted the expertise of make-up artist Ferry Van der Nat to apply 365 layers of “face” in one day.

Towards the middle of the video I couldn’t help thinking of my female classmates from high school and their obsession with foundation, particularly the really orange kind that never blended at the jaw line.  Perhaps it was a 90’s thing, maybe it was the naivety of growing up in the suburbs but all I know is that their explorations in make-up were not too far off from the end result of this video - something kind of gruesome and funny at the same time.
