MASTER AND MUSE: ETIENNE & X-TINA

Sep 25, 2023 @ 1:30 pm / By Perry Johnson

[...]

What was your journey like getting into celebrity makeup artistry?
It happened very organically because, as a kid, I would create mood boards. I made this world for myself and let it guide my life. It didn’t appear the moment I wanted it (that’s not how it works) but the intention was there – I wanted to work with Xtina. It gave me something to believe in. I didn’t care about what people said that I was an immigrant from Jalisco or that we grew up in a small house and that these things weren’t possible for people like me. I was always in service to my vision for myself and my family above all that and it paid off. I would showcase my work on social media and eventually, people like Kim K noticed me which (obviously) changed everything.

You’ve done some of the most iconic faces of our time… XTINA. LANA. KRIS JENNER. and the list goes on. What is one thing you’ve learned from these legendary women?
I’m so grateful to call them my muses and I learn different things from each one of them. Kris Jenner is a businesswoman. It’s hard not to learn about business when you are around her. The way she carries herself, the professionalism, it’s so valuable. She’s taught me the value of being on time: When you value peoples’ time and your own time, that’s respect. Xtina showed me how creatives can execute at the business and professional levels. A lot of people are either creative or a business person. Xtina is very good at both.

How does Xtina inspire you?
The resilience and beauty in Xtina’s music really inspired me to be a makeup artist. Artistically, she inspires me to just play. I’m never bored and I’m always excited to work with her. Whether it’s a concert, photo shoot, album cover, whatever. Her talents are God-given, she’s an icon, and I feel free to play when I work with her. “The Voice Within” from Xtina is a song that to this day got me through some of my lowest points. She’s my muse because she got me through some of my darkest days. It’s like therapy for me. Working with her is my reward for sticking it out and also my way to thank her.
 
Some would say you’re THE modern-day Kevin Aucoin. Who would you say were your heroes growing up?
I was obviously so inspired by him. So this question is very rewarding in itself. My makeup career was inspired by the early 2000s. Scott Barnes, who did J-Lo’s makeup. Kristofer Buckle who worked on Xtina’s “Burlseque” and “Back to Basics” projects. Sam Fine, who does beautiful African skin. Billie D. who did basically every pop star in the ’90s and early 2000s.

What was the first music video you saw growing up that made u feel like you want to be in show biz?
Haha, this question is like asking an artist “What’s your favorite color?” (it’s blue). I am inspired by so many music videos from all the legends – Beyonce, Pink, Britney – but a music video that sticks out is “Come on Over” by Christina Aguilera. The video was so colorful and her makeup was incredible. Her tummy was bedazzled and it was so shimmery and really fun to look at.
 
Has there been a moment in your career where you felt like you’ve really made it?
The first time I worked with Xtina. I had a flashback to this memory of being a kid and buying her first album with my own money. I always said “I’m going to work with her one day” and now I get to do it?? It never stops. I feel that way when I work with any artist I really admire. Lana Del Rey too. I met her through a friend and Immediately I was like, “Who is she?” I was so drawn to her uniqueness. A few years later she’s sitting in my chair and we’re working on a music video.

Resúmen en español de lo dicho por Etienne Ortega sobre Christina Aguilera para Galore Magazine
 

¡Christina cambiando Vidas desde siempre!

Desde niño quise trabajar con Xtina. Me dió algo en qué creer. No importaba lo que dijera la gente, que era un inmigrante de Jalisco o que crecimos en una casa pequeño y que estas cosas no eran posibles para personas como yo. Siempre estuve al servicio de mi visión para mí y mi familia, por encima de todo, y valió la pena.

La resistencia y la belleza de la música de ella realmente me inspiraron a convertirme en maquillador.

Artísticamente, ella me inspira a simplemente hacerlo. Nunca me aburro y siempre estoy emocionado de trabajar con ella. Ya sea un espectáculo, una sesión de fotos, la portada de un álbum, lo que sea. Sus talentos se los dió Dios, ella es un ícono y me siento libre cuando estoy con ella.

“The Voice Within” es una canción que hasta el día de hoy me ha ayudado a superar algunos de mis puntos más bajos. Ella es mi musa porque me ayudó en algunos de mis días más oscuros. Es como una terapia para mí. Trabajar con ella es mi recompensa por persistir y también mi forma de agradecerle.

Un video musical que se destaca es "Come on Over". El video fué muy colorido y el maquillaje fué increíble. Su barriga se veía impresionante y era muy brillante y muy divertido de ver.

Tuve un flashback de este recuerdo cuando era niño y compré su primer álbum con mi propio dinero. Siempre dije “algún día trabajaré con ella” y ahora lo hago. Me siento así cuando trabajo con cualquier artista que realmente admiro.
