The open-air photography exhibit entitled Dreamland has delighted visitors for the past several weeks at the Jardin d’Acclimatation in Paris. Students from the Make Up For Ever Academy in Paris and Shanghai explore the infinite possibilities of makeup as art.

When she created Make Up For Ever in 1984, Dany Sanz avowed a desire to establish makeup as an art: “Body art helped me to express myself, like a painter on a canvas, but on the skin.” Just as painters work with pigments, the makeup artists trained at the Make Up For Ever Academy fuse colors and textures to create veritable artworks.
