Celebrity makeup artists
 | | Rachel Wood and Louise Roe | |
Being a celebrity has its perks - money, fame, and fortune. But when it comes to living under a media microscope, superstars like Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé and Mariah Carey always have to look their best when they step out whether it's dinner with friends or a red carpet. Needless to say, celebrity glam squads are a vital role in a celeb's team, especially the makeup artist. We caught up with some of the best makeup artists in the biz Sir John, Tatiana "BeatFaceHoney" Ward, and Rachel Wood to learn what it's like working with entertainment's biggest stars.
Who has been your favorite client to work with?
Rachel Wood: British fashion star Louise Roe. I met her six years ago when she was hosting a fashion show that I was running the makeup on. She was living in LA and was coming to NY for Fashion Week, so she called me up to do her makeup. She was about to pay me and I told her to just give me money for a cab. She said that she was doing a show and would put me up as the makeup artist. Since then, she puts me forward for every one of her shows. She's so loyal and dedicated, she takes me out for drinks, and named a handbag after me. She's become like a sister to me.
Do you feel like you see a different side of celebrities, and if so, has it changed your perspective of them all together?
Rachel Wood: Yeah. I do a lot of personal make-up - I'd say 50 percent of my job isn't a shoot. They are going on the red carpet, they're going to a dinner, they're going to an event. So I see 50 percent of my celebrities when they are just coming out of the shower with no makeup on in a bathrobe. That's how I first met Mariah Carey. (excerpt from VH1)
