Even as a child, Yasmin Heinz knew she wanted to be a make-up artist, as she watched her mother transform herself from parent to classical ballerina for her stage performances. This exposure to the power of make-up propelled Heinz into a career working with some of fashion’s brightest stars, including Chanel and Dior. Her new book, Elements, shows us what’s possible, using earth, air, water and fire as themes to frame her talents, and drawing on inspirational examples from fashion, beauty and photography.
