Gem.In.Eyes: Conceptual Makeup Artistry

Specialties

Gem.In.Eyes is a conceptual artistry brand founded by Chibbi that creates art using makeup and photography. With a background in theatre, Chibbi doesn’t ask «How do you want to look?» but rather «How do you want to feel?» It starts with a mood, an idea, or an emotion, and using his client as an inspirational canvas, it transforms into living art. From simple beauty to bold theatrics, every makeup tells a story.
