MEET THE FOUNDER
Born in in Shreveport, Louisiana, Kevyn Aucoin was always infatuated with the fashion and beauty looks often found in the likes of Vouge and other magazines. From age 11, he began to experiment with make up looks on his sister and best friend – capturing all his innovative creations on a polaroid camera. As years passed Kevyn Aucoin’s passion prevailed as he recognised the transformative power cosmetics could have on one’s self. Uprooting to New York to begin his ‘American dream’, he continuously sat outside Vogue’s HQ until he was given a chance to show off his natural talent. Fast-forward to today and the professional make up artists' work has appeared on 19 covers of Vogue along with creating looks for fashion week, music videos, films, fashion adverts and so much more.
KEVYN AUCOIN’S MUSES
Where do we begin? It’s hard to find a famous face which Kevyn Aucoin hasn’t graced. From the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Huston and Cher to Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Lisa Marie Presley (just to name a few), the MUA singlehandedly created celebrity artistry.
