Nicky Posley's journey into makeup began through a strong fascination with the transformative power of beauty, art, and fashion. A fine artist first, Nicky experimented with many visual art forms, eventually finding the medium he felt most at home with. He is both a working artist and a respected educator of his craft. He believes that makeup is an art and that art is empowerment. Whether it be slick and modern or primitive and rudimentary, art can evoke emotions deeply rooted in the human experience. Like the human experience, it is ever-changing. . . always evolving. We sit down to discuss the history of Kodak's Shirley card and how the technology of film impacted the rendering of skin tones, especially those of people of color.

Chinatown Pretty was created by photographer Andria Lo and writer Valerie Luu, two friends who love dim sum and chasing after pretty poh pohs (grandmas). They started a blog after their personal project was featured as a story, Chinatown Sartorialist, on The Bold Italic. For the story they pitched, they shot portraits and interviewed seniors in San Francisco Chinatown whose outfits reminded the pair of their grandmothers. The experience brought them so much joy and inspiration that they wanted to continue capturing their unique style and stories.
