The Creator LifestyleBody positivity, mental health care, and even social activism brought to life | Illustrator, Printmaker, Designer | Sam ButtrickDisrupting the norm is Sam’s norm. Actually, it’s her artistic duty. When you look at her illustrations you’ll see it in the proportion sizing, the hairy legs, the mixed emotions—all the things we’re taught not to acknowledge.

The Creator LifestyleMakeup artists don’t get enough creative kudos—We’re ready to change that. With Deepti SadhwaniIn our conversation with Deepti, you’ll recognize and respect the art within the makeup artist.
It’s more than just contour. Deepti’s highest paying jobs are the ones where she must make the model look natural, flawless, and with perfect skin. Using makeup for a “no makeup look” takes a completely different skill set—one Deepti trained for in school.
Deepti shares the decorum of working on set and shoots. Even in highly controlled environments, her creativity can take shape. She starts with abstract prompts, brushing both color-packed faces and subtle “no-makeup” looks onto her moving...
