Ryan Burke isn’t your average social media beauty star. The New York City-based artist and photographer takes beauty outside of the box using his face as a canvas for some of the most interesting creations we’ve ever seen.
“The self portraits I create express a perspective on human styling that does not rely on conventional clothing, hair, makeup or accessories but rather an aesthetic derived from the use of unusual materials and makeup to create otherworldly personas,” he says on his personal website. “The portraits and editorials of others on this site are a documentation of their own style and interpretation of fashion from their perspective.”
A self-proclaimed Pat McGrath ambassador – the British makeup artist behind some of the runways most innovative looks – Burke’s work doesn’t shy away from the use of bold colours, unconventional shapes and oversized accessorizing.
