“I’ve always been intrigued by the idea that you paint your face the way you want the world to see you,” says Homidi. The New York–based makeup artist's canvas extends beyond the complexion. Homidi sparked fanfare at Off-White’s spring show by color-washing the ears of certain models (Kendall Jenner included) in sporty neons. It was a sly homage to the colored-zinc sunscreens worn by lifeguards in the nineties—back when she was gushing over fashion magazines at her Uzbek mother’s hair salon in California. That real-life grounding informs the 38-year-old’s work on set with photographers Zoë Ghertner and Stevie Dance: a brusque matte mouth, dabbed-on shadows, or—her forte—a raw, sophisticated complexion. Eagle-eyed fashion observers spotted that "expensive skin," as Homidi termed it, on Off-White's fall runway; meanwhile, the beauty look at Maryam Nassir Zadeh, pairing pastel blue eyelids with a delicate flick of liner, will inspire plenty of cool-girl recreations in the months ahead. It’s about balancing a sense of perfection with “makeup that looks hand-applied"—a rebuttal to the hyperrealistic photo tricks that turn every snap into a likable moment.
