May 8, 2026In film and television, prosthetic makeup is judged under conditions that expose every technical flaw, including high-resolution cameras, controlled lighting setups and extreme close-ups.

Blending is the stage where a well-sculpted and well-applied appliance either holds […]
- Character Makeup vs Special Effects Makeup May 7, 2026In film and television, makeup is not just about appearance; it’s about storytelling under a camera lens. Every detail must read correctly on screen, hold up under lighting and support the narrative.

Brown Girls Do Ballet
Her Story
TaKiyah & Charlie
photo: Omar Ramos
Brown Girls Do Ballet®, a philanthropic organization often featured for its noteworthy Instagram movement, began in 2013 as a personal photography project by TaKiyah Wallace in an effort to highlight girls of African, Asian, East Indian, Hispanic, and Native American ancestry in Ballet programs. Wallace was taken by surprise upon discovering the lack of cultural diversity in local ballet schools while searching for a program for her then 3-year-old. Like any mom, she grew concerned about how her daughter would feel in a class where no one resembled her.
Through her engagement with dancers, their families, and the ballet community, TaKiyah developed a passion for redefining a classically Eurocentric art form to reflect what America is today: beautifully diverse. Striving to touch the lives of little ballerinas, she set out to simply provide a media outlet highlighting the diversity. Little did she know, a movement would be born, and this photo project would become so much more.
