Evelyn Affleck
There is not a lot of information about this artist life and where they learned everything, however, I would still like to include Evelyn Affleck in my research as her makeup and body art is a great inspiration of mine. This Canadian artist and special effects makeup artist shares her work on Instagram @evelynaffleck as well as on her website available HERE.
She specialises in abstract and unique makeup, as I assumed from her portfolio, but can also create amazing natural looks. Her work is contextual to mine as I wish my art would be that clean and perfect made, the details and blending on some of the pieces amaze me. Looking at her photos I want to practice more to be better in this field and also I got inspired by some of the drawings and style of photography and I believe I can use them in my own project.

You are right to say that there isn't much information out there about her, which is a shame because her work is fascinating and I 'd like to see her explain what she does a bit more. Particularly as I can see some of her influences in some of these examples (American Abstract Expressionism for one). I did find a link to a video of her creating one of her designs, though: https://rawartists.com/evelynaffleck#gallery-8 Might give you some material for a follow up post in terms of your technique and application of your design for this project.
