From a distance, food and beauty may not share much common ground. Put simply, one is a necessity and the other an indulgence, one a tangible object and the other a subjective meter of comeliness.

Ā 

But upon closer inspection, it seems that these two realms share an unspoken resemblanceā€“ā€“an uncanny nearness that ties the worlds of whisking and baking and devouring, and painting and blending and admiring, together. Both a summation of parts, the respective arts behind food and makeup artistry boil down to a wielderā€™s mastery of smaller parts that build up to the whole. The easy swooping arch of a brow, the crispness of the top layer of a dessertā€“ā€“every fractional detail owns a say in taste and guise.

Both disciplines hinge heavily on the physical, putting a premium on color and texture. Finding its roots in nature, food is lush with appetizing reds, lush greens, the occasional pop of sunny yellowā€“ā€“a rainbow of punchy shades that could so easily be transposed into a palette of brights or metallics. Case in point: in 2017, the Food Makeup challenge made its rounds on the YouTube scene. A full face of food as makeup? The results werenā€™t quite as dismal as one would expect.Ā

Perhaps itā€™s for these reasons that makeup extraordinaire Dick Pageā€™s transition from beauty to culinary was only natural. Renowned in the 90s for giving the likes of Kate Moss a timeless look of moist skin and color-kissed lips, he has become something of an Instagram foodie account in the present day. Whether itā€™s a sea of purple smeared across eyelids or a snapshot of pan-fried seafood on a bed of shredded corn and vibrant greens, the artist-turned-foodfluencer shows us that a singular current of life and luxury flows through beauty and food alike.

Ā 

The worlds of food and beauty tell their own effervescent stories of color and spirit, leaving inspiration and indulgence in their wake.

Ā 

Open your eyes. Take a bite.
