The Colour Blind Special Effects Make-up Artist

A colour blind make-up artist is proving that you don’t need to see the full colour spectrum to succeed. Toby Michael, 23, is an “extreme deutan”, meaning he struggles to distinguish between blues and purples, greens and browns, and reds, browns and greens all together. Even though some doubted his ability to master make-up without a full colour spectrum at his disposal, Toby has proven them wrong by becoming a successful social media FX artist.
