Today, the competition between wannabe online cosmetics geniuses is so fierce, that many professionals have begun churning out the same \u2013 albeit luminously strobed \u2013 faces just to stay on fleek. However, not everyone in the business has succumbed to this phenomenon. Enter Kate Mur, a Muscovite visionary who\u2019s bucking the trend by pioneering a new era of makeup artistry focussing on the transformative power of beauty products.<br \/>\nMur comes from humble beginnings, revealing that her first kit comprised only one foundation, a few lipsticks, eye shadow, and homemade setting powder. Undeterred by her lack of resources, she has tenaciously built a portfolio on Instagram that has since garnered a following of over 90k followers and led to work with Kenzo, Gucci, Vogue, and Harper\u2019s Bazaar. Her approach is an antidote to the cookie cutter looks of today, with Mur exhibiting a messier, almost sculptural aesthetic, featuring spidery lashes and abundantly applied lipstick. Indeed, while many of her cohorts seek inspiration through celebrity culture, one of Mur\u2019s main source\u2019s of inspiration is her hometown. Each vibrant face she creates is a coping mechanism for the Russian capital\u2019s harsh weather. \u201cMy bad sense of humour serves as my main source of inspiration. Well, that and growing up in grey and grumpy Moscow.\u201d<br \/>\nFor this issue, SLEEK gave Mur the artistic freedom to create her most extreme looks to date, inviting her to go wherever her abundant imagination desired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/In-Text-Photo-1-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/> Left: Neckpiece by Gabriella Marina Gonzalez.
