*~Sephora Watercolors~*

Working day-in and day-out on the Sephora site and apps, I am often seeking additional ways to be creative, and have fun, with beauty products. 

 

I’ve started a series that I dub *~Sephora Watercolors~*, mixing pencil, watercolors, a variety of shiny gelly roll pens and deco markers, and, of course, a healthy assortment of Sephora-sourced lip glosses, sparkly nail polishes, glittery face pigments, and more.

 

In terms of inspo? It’s a mix of the charming illustrations of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the (precious) watercolors of my grandmother, an artist in her own time, known for her Asian-inspired and tropical tableaus, mixing watercolor with fine pen marks. She also designed and merch’ed up the windows for the historic West Coast department store I. Magnin & Company in Los Angeles, which I think is pretty cool. 

 

So, without further delay, here is the series. I will post whenever I have a chance, hopefully bi-weekly. I’ll note out the date of creation, link to the products and list out the materials used in the work. 

 

Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂 ❤️💄

 

Note: Worked with product management @ / contracted for Sephora previously.

There's something totally iconic and fabulously amazing about the Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss 07 Magic Spell ... brings me back to middle school days before I was out of the closet and hanging out with some of my girlfriends by the lockers in between classes and playing with lip gloss....

Went with two variations here... one with more refined lettering and one more abstract with the actual juicy tube lip gloss (it's still drying... days later....) ... Any preference on your fav?
