The Halfsies Effect: Finding Beauty in the In-Between

Behind the Scenes with Lizzie No in NYC

Visualizing "Halfsies": A Creative Partnership

Happy One year anniversary to Halfsies! Working with Lizzie No on her “Halfsies” album was more than just a makeup session; it was a collaborative exploration, a journey into the heart of her artistic vision. Lizzie initially envisioned a “no-makeup makeup” look, a desire for a stripped-down aesthetic. But as we delved deeper into the project, a more nuanced approach emerged. We discovered a space between pure naturalness and overt glamour, a realm where her inherent beauty could be amplified, her ethereal essence brought to the forefront. Think Minnie Riperton's effortless grace, her radiant spirit – that was the kind of inspiration we channeled.

This project served as a powerful reminder of the importance of true collaboration. It’s not just about applying makeup; it’s about listening, understanding, and translating an artist’s vision into a tangible reality. It’s about finding beauty in the in-between spaces, those subtle nuances that whisper stories of identity and artistry. It’s about recognizing that makeup can be a powerful tool for self-expression, a way to enhance not just physical features, but the very essence of who a person is.

The process was a dialogue, a continuous exchange of ideas and inspiration. We explored textures, colors, and light, seeking to capture the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength that defines Lizzie's music. The result wasn't just a look; it was a visual echo of her artistic soul, a reflection of the ethereal beauty that radiates from within.
