ANDREW DAHLING

Bonjour, my name is Andrew. I am a New York City based multi-media creative. I specialize in makeup artistry and have over 7 years of experience growing, learning, and creating in the industry. My work speaks to the depth of my creative heart, I have always loved to push the boundaries of what makeup is defined as.

I would describe my artistry as bombastic, eccentric, instantly recognizable. Unmistakably original, my work is a reflection of my colorful psyche. My interpretation of beauty is detached from any quantifiable reality, any gender, any outdated standard. 

​

My career as an independent multinational artist has lead me to the fashion, editorial world and nightlife scenes, where my artistry can live. Working backstage with the likes of Kabuki, Grimes, Steven Klein, Moschino, V Magazine, Vogue, Sussane Bartsch, etc.. has shaped me as a professional artist. For me, makeup is about telling a story, makeup is a medium that provokes emotion, that teleports the senses, it’s a way to become the fantasy that lies in desire. It is armor it is regalia it is expression, and expression is invaluable.
