Manifold takes MakeupByTrisee to “Brooklyn Fashion Week”

This past year has been nothing short of a whirlwind for local make-up artist Tristell Manifold, also known as MakeupByTrisee.

Manifold recently returned from New York where she fashioned edgy and inspired looks for Annie Couture, Anarchy People, and John Ashford, among other Brooklyn-based designers as part of “Brooklyn Fashion Week.”
“It was an experience that felt more like a dream than reality,” explained Manifold, while adding “and while I learned several new tips and tricks from fellow artists overseas, most importantly I learned the importance of time management as a make-up artist.”
According to the entrepreneur and creative artist, the atmosphere behind the scenes of the official “Brooklyn Fashion Week” felt like a mix of a medical emergency room, a carnival and a mad artist’s studio. Yet it afforded the artist a distinct thrill to see the models walking down the runway and knowing that she perfected the make-up just applied.

“The energy in the air was palpable – with anywhere from 14 to 26 hairstylists and make-up artists each trying to wrangle models into chairs, feverishly carrying out artistic directives issued by the lead make-up artist or hair artist, while precariously seeking to maintain some level of calm and an upbeat attitude,” Manifold said.
The make-up artist continues to push the envelope by opening her MakeupByTrisee Studio and announcing the upcoming launch of a false eyelash line; all within a few short weeks of her return. “I am excited to share my affordable, stylish and glamorous 3D mink lashes, Trisee Luxury Minks, featuring four different styles – Eye Da Hoe, Viola Voss, Lulu Lease and Glamour Wispies – will hit the markets very soon,” Manifold said.

Manifold began her career in the make-up arts in late 2016 after noticing an absence of quality make-up services and beauty products in Guyana. Within months of debuting MakeupByTrisee, Manifold also began to offer courses to teach clients how to apply their own make-up. “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher,” Manifold shared. So when the opportunity arose for her to share her skills with others, she produced a simplified make-up booklet and course outline which guide clients into creating their own natural and trendy make-up.”
Interest in the courses quickly broadened and Manifold now offers at-home lessons in Berbice and Georgetown and is also available for bookings, where her customers can either have their make-up done in the comfort of their own homes, or at her stylish studio.
As for make-up trends to watch, Manifold suggests that make-up enthusiasts try bold blue eyes, bright red lipstick, golden finishes, metallic lipsticks, halo eyebrows, and super daring lashes, “but not all at once though,” Manifold joked.
