Never underestimate the power of a look. My name is Lydia Osagie Watkins, and I am a self-taught makeup artist. The ability to transform into and embody a seemingly boundless plethora of ideas never ceases to amaze me. Makeup is an expressive outlet, a creative tool, and to some, an act of defiance against oppression. I believe in creation and empowerment. Join me on my journey .
