Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, once said: “You make a choice: continue living your life feel ing muddled in this abyss of self-misunderstand ing, or you find your identity independent of it. You draw your own box.” I read it in a time when I really needed it, and I’m sure some of you do too.
Our work should match our life and feelings, and that’s the beauty of creating art.
It goes for everyone and for everything we do, but I think it goes a little harder for artists and cre atives. We sometimes struggle with our identities not just as human beings, but as artists – and I really can’t tell which one is harder. But the thing is, we don’t always have to make our best work, sometimes done is better than perfect and some times our best at the moment is not our best ever. And that’s okay.

Minimalistic
The way people express themselves through
A point on which many costume historians have agreed is that fashion, as the propensity for continual change in clothing and designs is a recent phenomenon in the history of hu manity, occurring only with the emergence of mercantile capitalism and the growth in global trade. Other scholars have analyzed fashion as an aspect of a distinctively modern con sumer culture that first gained popularity in the eighteenth century, happening in parallel with the beggining of the industrial revolution. Either way, to be "fashionable" in this histori cal sense of the term should not be understo od as a natural, universal, or biologically given aspect of human behavior, but as a socially and historically condition. Fashion is, in other words, a cultural construction, which means its very existence depends on the complex in teraction of specific economic, political, and ideological forces.
FASHION & THE SENSE OF PARTICIPATION
their fashion choices keeps evolving over time, and it happens differently in different places and societies too; Fashion is far from being a homogenous umbrella of clothes, shoes, ac cessories and makeup, actually, it has initiated many different and complex trends, which con gregate into subcultures. So long story short, subcultures are a result of fashion trends that groups of people with similar interests prefer.
Subcultures
Goth
The goth subculture started gaining popularity in the early 1980s in the UK, inspired by gothic literature and architecture. It’s one of those ty pes of fashion subcultures that it’s not unusual for us to see in runways, actually, most modern fashion designers have branded their style of goth. This subculture has been part of society for a long time and has further diversified it self – and continues to evolve in the present days, as its still one of the most populars. Dark clothing is the biggest inspiration. Velvet, lace, mesh, and other similar materials are also frequently used.
Another segment that we can talk about here is alternative fashion, which refers to fashion that does not conform to the trends of its time. Unique and super important subcultures such as goth, grunge, punk and emo represent a segment of alternative fashion. Though it mi ght seems like a present day trend, the concept has existed for centuries now. To make it clear, let’s take a look at the different types of fashion subcultures.
If fashion is a cultural aspect, then fashion subcultures are groups organized around or based upon certain features of appearance, and adornment that make them distincti ve enough to be recognized or defined as a subset of the wider culture. Depending on the group in question, subcultures can be loosely or tightly bounded and their collective identi fication may be self-attributed or imputed to them by outsiders. Subcultures often create their own distinctiveness by defining them selves in opposition to the "mainstream" fa shion – the fashion trends that become more popular, the one we tend to see all over so cial media and red carpets – and they may be either radical and forward-looking or reac tionary and conservative in relation to the do minant mode of dressing: in either case, they always aim toward exclusivity.
One of the simplest types of fashion subcul tures. There is the presumption that minima list fashion refers to single-colored outfits and lacks design and innovation, but in reality it has it’s own aesthetic, including fashion ba

The ‘e’ stands for ‘electronic’ and this style gained got super popular on the internet ge neration of 2019. It is a youth subculture that starter being spotted in the late 2010s and is almost exclusively seen only on social media. This trend has recently been popularized by Gen-Z in apps like TikTok, Discord, and Twitch. The elements of this subculture include lon

Bohemian, or ‘boho chic’ or simply ‘boho’, goes back to the late 60s and 70s. It highlights natu ral materials and earth shades. Inspired by hip pie culture, bohemian fashion represents free expression and informal style: it is a combina tion of neutral colors, vintage retro patterns, and 70s style. Among all the types of fashion subcultures, this one is comfortable and fun. Boho outfits usually include loose tops with V-necks or off shoulders, mix prints, bishop sleeves, harem pants, flared jeans, and flowy skirts. Maximalism is also big in this aesthetic, so clash prints, styles, colors, and bright tones are common with layered, chunky, and mi smatched jewelry.

And because society is always changing and evolving, there are always new subcultures, now being seen specially in the younger gene rations, like millenials and Gen-Z.
K-Style
K-style is a popular fashion subculture that started to grow all over the world in the 2010s. It is one of the most popular types of fashion subcultures now, influenced by the everyday street fashion of South Korea, and especially the style of K-pop artists. The main elements are trench coats, pastel shirts, midi skirts, and flared wide-leg jeans. K-pop bands popularized this subculture.
g-sleeved striped and graphic t-shirts, jeans with wallet chains, mesh t-shirts, plaid skirts, and fishnet stockings. The main color scheme is either bright bubble gum pinks and blues or conversely dark.
sics, timeless pieces and simple silhouettes. The importance of fabric and form dominates the function of the outfit. Some essentials for a great and stylish minimalist fit include thick sweaters, straight-leg black jeans, button-ups, and ankle boots. A few popular minimalistic combinations are black and white, neutrals, all whites, all blacks and texture contrasts.
Dark academia is an aesthetic inspired by lite rature and arts. History, Greek arts, and dark elements have attributed to the unfolding of this subculture. It is one of the mysterious ty pes of fashion subcultures that romanticizes the idea of elite education. This subculture is also influenced by the Harry Potter saga. The series brought back woolen sweaters, brown pants, and rich textured cardigans into fashion again. Subsequently, crispy white button-up shirts, cotton pants, and flowy linen dress per fectly fit this subculture.
In conclusion, fashion has evolved to a really big extent since its beggining; it is volatile and never stops upgrading. Although these sub cultures might seem diverse, their motives are similar: they help people stand out and express their individuality, which is exactly Fashion is supposed to do.

Racism goes against everything we believe here in MALVIE
As we live in a world where people are being discriminated and even murdered for their skin color and genetic features, it is our mission to try to make life a little less scary.
Whether it comes in big gestures, like bullying and name-calling, or disguised as “jokes”, racism is violent. It is always aggressive and has the only purpose to oppress people. And that is something we can no longer tolerate.
We know it will take time for us to make big chang es with worldwide im pacts, but we can try and start somewhere. That’s why we created MALVIE Noir, a special edition des tined to empower people of color and make their voices heard through the art. Also, in the immedi ate term, we are donating proceeds to a black led or ganizations that fights ra cial injustice.
You deserve to be respected and appreciated for who you are, and nobody has the right or the power to say otherwise.
We know we cannot change everything on our own, but we are doing our best to help in any way possible and to show our support in the making of a society in which everyone is safe, respected and gets ev ery opportunity they deserve.
You are not alone!

I’m on the ASD spectrum. As someone with overlapping traits of ADHD and autism, I can truly say I’m a perfec tionist. I like to make every shoot elaborate, exciting, en tertaining, cohesive, but also collaboratively passionate. I truly give it my all. It’s easy as an artist to just show up to a job and apply makeup to a face, but going the extra mile to make a shoot special and give it that WOW factor; perhaps helping out with props that would complement the set design or working closely with the wardrobe styl ist to truly create something magical, that’s what I do. I hyper focus on the details that don’t necessarily pertain to my specialty (without overstepping) and I think that’s what makes me an asset. As a neurodivergent person, I recognize that success can be reached by accepting yourself for who you are. That’s only card you can and should be playing. The rest is work ethic 101.
I like bright and bold colors in my editorial looks as much as the next person. But some Swarovski crystals and sequins here and there are my go-to. It just gives any look that pop! I mean, who doesn’t love embellishments on a face?! As for what sets me apart…I like simple. I don’t like to overdo it. In stead, I change it up in between looks.
I wouldn’t say I keep up with trends and styles if we’re talking social media makeup trends. But I do follow NYFW and all
How long have you been a makeup artist and how did you get your start in the industry?
Looking back, how has make-up artistry changed or influenced you as a person?
Why is having an MUA essential to a photographer?
I absolutely love being the hair and makeup artist for CD Greene’s look books. I’ve worked with him for a couple of years now and it’s always incredibly inspiring to be around his work and to see it on the red carpet. That’s a continuous opportunity I’m most excited about. The project I’m most proud of is a bridal shoot I did in 2019. I was the creative di rector, the wardrobe stylist, prop stylist, hairstylist, and make up artist. I did bridal hair and makeup on 4 models back to back without a break. It was exhausting but very exciting. I look back at those pictures all the time and I’m grateful for all the bridal work opportunities that shoot brought me.
Camera and lights wash you out. People hear this a lot but aren’t sure what that means. It means, these factors dull the appearance of the colors on your face. This washing out extends to the perceived dimensions of the face as well. Without proper makeup application for that intended purpose, chances are you will not be happy with the result. On the other hand, if you’re not gonna be photographed, an everyday look consisting of a full face of makeup with harsh contour and extra rosy cheeks might look excessive and harsh in vain. Sometimes people forget contouring and highlighting were techniques developed for the camera, not for the everyday eye.
Shirley Penafiel
What do you think are some of the keys to being a successful makeup artist?
the inspiring work of respected and super talented edito rial artists such as Danessa Myricks and James Molloy. And those are mostly for learning new techniques and learning about kit-worthy products I should try out. I defi nitely don’t want to replicate someone’s work and call it inspiration. I want to be innovative within my own style. I personally draw inspiration from period pieces. I have a thing for the Victorian era, the Roaring 20’s, the 50’s…and Egypt! Endless inspo for my obsessed brain.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH
I started self-teaching makeup artistry back in 2014 (Thanks YouTube!) and officially took my first client in the Summer of 2016. My interest began while living abroad in Ecuador, South America. There was a strong Brazilian influence on the beauty industry and it really peaked my interest. I was al ready an experienced licensed cosmetologist as of 2007, so it was a convenient service to be able to offer to my clients.
How do you keep up with all the new trends and styles? Where do you pull your inspiration from to help you with your work?
Why is shooting for camera and lights, different than everyday makeup?
How would you describe your signature look and what is it about your style that sets you apart from other makeup artists?
Before I started learning about makeup, I myself never wore any. I have “good” skin and I simply didn’t see the purpose for using makeup. That perspective has greatly changed over time. As someone that’s now passionate about editorial makeup more than any other makeup style, I appreciate the art behind the makeup, the self-expression, the confidence building, the process, the transformation, the POWER of it all. I have certainly become more supportive of women and their love for makeup, but more importantly, the psychology behind it. Makeup empowers women and that’s always a good thing.
An experienced makeup artist is a photographer’s best friend. Starting with the products in our kits, we know what the best options are for flash photography. We know what features to accentuate. Depending on the lighting, we’ll know how heavy or light handed we need to be with our colors on certain areas of the face. We’ll always know which areas to touch up or even which false lash to use. We make or break the end result.
What is the most exciting or challenging opportunity you had as a freelance artist? What's the project you are most proud of?
Where can our readers keep up with your work and get connected with you?
I am TERRIBLE at social media! Haha but I do post on my Instagram page @sbp_bridal. I have recently created a new page over at @sbp_editorial where I will be exclu sively show-casing my editorial work!
I also want to learn about photography and editing . Over the years I’ve picked up some tricks here and there, but I definitely need more formal education on that. I really want to be able to shoot my own work, so that’s what I’m working toward.
What is the most important beauty advice that you can give to women?
You’re beautiful, you’re unique, you’re worthy, you’re power ful. Own it! Second best advice: always remove your make up before going to bed ladies!
What are your future plans/goals for the next couple of years?
I want to go to makeup school. I’ve been doing bridal for a few years now and it’s been great! But I do want to focus more on what makes me 100% happy and what gets my creative juices flowing and that’s fashion editorial makeup.
