Makeup Artist Uses Face Paint to Recreate Classic Album Covers
For Record Store Day, London-based face painter and artist Natalie Sharp used her amazing makeup skills to transform her face into meticulous recreations of classic album covers. Over the course of three days, Sharp painted eight very inspiring and spectacular album covers including Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures, Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest, The Advisory Circle’s As the Crow Flies, KaS Product’s Try Out, Kraftwerk’s Autobahn and Primal Scream’s Screamadeica. “Each face took between 3 – 6 hours to paint.” says Sharp of the project, “I cried after finishing grizzly bear, I thought it had broken me. I don’t use any stencils its all freehand.”
