encyclopaedia of creatives and emerging talent from across the world who are redefining the way we think about beauty. Discover them <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/community\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI don\u2019t see the point of existing without turning what\u2019s in my head into something real,\u201d says SFX and make-up artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/catalinasartor_\/?hl=en\">Catalina Sartor<\/a>. If her body of visceral beauty work is anything to go by, Sartor\u2019s head is full of high glam, at times nightmarish, creatures, sometimes without eyes, sometimes with a full beat, sometimes with reptilian boobs. She\u2019s created <\/span><span>high-shine orbs embedded into the skin of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/michele-lamy\">Mich\u00e8le Lamy<\/a>, an all-over wash of pink on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fka-twigs\">FKA twigs<\/a> and high-gloss glam for VTSS, as well as looks for artists like <\/span><span>Arca, Caroline Polachek and Bj\u00f6rk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Born in a small town outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sartor\u2019s first exposure to beauty came through the competitive rollerskating circuit. \u201cBy age four I was doing full glam for my competitions \u2013 silver glitter lids, mascara, pink gloss, slick hair and a tiara \u2013 repeating that same look obsessively from four to sixteen,\u201d she recalls. <\/span><span>Now, some decades on, beauty has become a way for Sartor to express emotions that are hard to assemble elsewhere. \u201cI come up with looks that behave like characters rather than accessories, pulling from the things I\u2019m drawn to, the emotions I struggle to put into words, and a sensitivity that can sometimes read as darkness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Those emotions play out in her ever-expanding body of work, both in make-up and SFX, from fleshy prosthetic beads buried under skin to golden scales laid across bare chests. Below we talk to the make-up artist about her current obsessions, working with FKA twigs and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and where you grew up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature where I felt very free and safe, with the independence to explore and play on my own, which made it feel natural to imagine building a life far from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it you do and why do you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor:\u00a0 <\/strong><span>I bring ideas to life through makeup and SFX, and I make girls feel beautiful for a living \u2013 I don\u2019t see the point of existing without turning what\u2019s in my head into something real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get into it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>It started as a need to express what I couldn\u2019t say out loud \u2013 I was drawn to performing, dressing up, and inventing characters, and make-up became the place where everything finally made sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does beauty mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor:<\/strong> B<span>eauty is well-curated harmony \u2013 the ability to sense what belongs, what doesn\u2019t, and when to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Describe your beauty aesthetic in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>Uncanny.

If her body of visceral beauty work is anything to go by, Sartor\u2019s head is full of high glam, at times nightmarish, creatures, sometimes without eyes, sometimes with a full beat, sometimes with reptilian boobs. She\u2019s created <\/span><span>high-shine orbs embedded into the skin of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/michele-lamy\">Mich\u00e8le Lamy<\/a>, an all-over wash of pink on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fka-twigs\">FKA twigs<\/a> and high-gloss glam for VTSS, as well as looks for artists like <\/span><span>Arca, Caroline Polachek and Bj\u00f6rk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Born in a small town outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sartor\u2019s first exposure to beauty came through the competitive rollerskating circuit. \u201cBy age four I was doing full glam for my competitions \u2013 silver glitter lids, mascara, pink gloss, slick hair and a tiara \u2013 repeating that same look obsessively from four to sixteen,\u201d she recalls. <\/span><span>Now, some decades on, beauty has become a way for Sartor to express emotions that are hard to assemble elsewhere. \u201cI come up with looks that behave like characters rather than accessories, pulling from the things I\u2019m drawn to, the emotions I struggle to put into words, and a sensitivity that can sometimes read as darkness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Those emotions play out in her ever-expanding body of work, both in make-up and SFX, from fleshy prosthetic beads buried under skin to golden scales laid across bare chests. Below we talk to the make-up artist about her current obsessions, working with FKA twigs and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and where you grew up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature where I felt very free and safe, with the independence to explore and play on my own, which made it feel natural to imagine building a life far from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it you do and why do you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor:\u00a0 <\/strong><span>I bring ideas to life through makeup and SFX, and I make girls feel beautiful for a living \u2013 I don\u2019t see the point of existing without turning what\u2019s in my head into something real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get into it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>It started as a need to express what I couldn\u2019t say out loud \u2013 I was drawn to performing, dressing up, and inventing characters, and make-up became the place where everything finally made sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does beauty mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor:<\/strong> B<span>eauty is well-curated harmony \u2013 the ability to sense what belongs, what doesn\u2019t, and when to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Describe your beauty aesthetic in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catalina Sartor: <\/strong><span>Uncanny.
