Who: Joe Platia
'Hood Inspiration: Art Museum Area (top); Delaware Avenue (bottom)
Topping His Résumé: Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Franklin Institute, House of Blues in Atlantic City, American Idol
True Colors: "When I teach classes, I have my students pick out the ugliest colors they can find. They'll put green eye shadow on a green eye. But if you add some gold, the color will work. As an artist, I can make any color look good with the right amount of blending."
His Steeze: "I am the Antichrist when it comes to makeup. Women are taught all these rules and, me, being a guy, I can come in and try anything."
For This Look: T.H.C. Pro Cosmetics; Paache airbrush, Mehron paint
Get In Touch: 610-972-5701, www.thehumancanvas.com, www.howtobeauty.com
