Body Painting MUD Makeup Artist Polly
My name is Polly! Everyone calls me Polly Pockets because I used to collect the Polly Pockets Toys in the 90s, plus how often do you meet a “Polly”. Yes, it is my real name. I am a professional makeup artist from a small town in New Jersey! As a kid, I was always into Art! Whether it was drawing, painting, writing, coloring, or crafting. I was always doing something with my hands. I was the kid in school who drew on the corners of notebook paper. I’m obsessed with ALL colors!! They are all beautiful to me and I love mixing and matching to create new colors. As a high school student, I came across one of the number one makeup schools in the country! But as a 17 year old, my parents were not keen on me living in New York City alone! Finally, ten years later, I was able to pursue my dream of becoming a MakeUp Artist. I attended at the top makeup school in the United States. Makeup Designory New York City. I studied Fashion makeup, TV & Film Makeup & Special Fx makeup. I’ve always been passionate about Beauty makeup. I like to live by “wear makeup like you don’t have any on”. But when I discovered Special Fx makeup and body painting I wanted to explore my talent ever further. So I decided to try painting on my body! I like to create scenes from movies that come from my perspective. I want my body makeup to inspire people! I want my art to bring you back to a certain time in your life that made you feel good, to bring out your inner child. I am a big child at heart and I love seeing people’s reactions when they remember a recreation I have done. I’ve learned that you’ll never know what your capable of until you try!!! I really thought I would be putting makeup on for a famous actress. Or be behind a movie set. I would still love that chance. But body painting is a skill I had no idea I had until I sat down and decided to draw what I draw on paper, onto my body. ~ Polly Pockets
