Every two weeks Whenever we get around to it, we ask a local artist we like to draw his or her beauty icon using only cosmetics. For today, painter (and our art critic) Sholem Krishtalka has touchingly rendered the 1950s film hero/victim Montgomery Clift, star of A Place in the Sun and From Here to Eternity, to name two. He used Topshop Beauty products, available at Topshop at The Bay and TheBay.com.
For the majority of his piece, Krishtalka used Topshop‘s “Kohl in Coal” eyeliner, which (if you are using it on yourself) will go some way to making you look as strikingly melancholy as Clift. For the shirt, he used a lip marker in “Popsicle” pink, a summer-nostalgic colour that would have been very popular indeed on Fire Island. As for the backdrop, it’s “Cut the Mustard” nailpolish, but we’d prefer to call it goldenrod.
