Give New Year the makeup worth it deserves as we bring you 10 makeup artists to follow this year if you’re in a beauty rut. You will love them, like them, follow them. Amen!

Here’s a List Of Makeup Artists You Need To Follow:

So here are the celebrity makeup artists you need to worship and pursue. Or book, perhaps? Because they are taking beauty to a whole new level with their avant-garde styles thus proving to us that makeup is indeed a form of art!

1. Katie Jane Hughes:

Among the artists to follow, Katie Jane Hughes is one such makeup artist who has an ultra-glowy approach to skin. Her use of glitter and bright colors in makeup is an absolute delight. She says “I believe makeup is an accessory… One that should be used to make you feel like your best self”.

2. Terry Barber:

M.A.C’s Director of Makeup Artistry, Terry Barber has been with M.A.C Cosmetics for a little more than 17 years. The Instagram account of this experimental makeup wizard is truly inspiring. Says he “As a makeup artist, the fundamental rule of art is to make someone look better and it’s only when you’ve satisfied that basic need that you can experiment with the unconventional.” That truly makes him yet another name in the league of iconic makeup artists. Execution-wise, Terry Barber picks up ideas from the everyday sightings and then creates a makeup look out of it. Any guess what these ideas are like? Orange peels, garbage bags, toilet papers (yucks!)you name it!

3. Sir John:

The fact that he is Beyoncé’s makeup artist makes him among the best artists to follow in the industry. Know it for a fact that it is he who did the makeup for the shoot of the April 2017 cover of the FASHION magazine.

4. Violette:

She is the French it-girl and makeup artist who has been appointed as the Global Beauty Director of Estée Lauder. Her signature tousled hair is never over-styled. Her barely there ‘base’ is flawless. Want more? She is the only person in the history of makeup to pull off a glittery lip as if it was hardly anything. Such bravery is one of the things that make Violette claim a spot on the list of 10 makeup artists to follow this year. For Violette, makeup is a form of artistic expression. According to her “Even when I put creative makeup on a woman, it has to be because she’s a source of inspiration….She never disappears behind it, she’s celebrated.” What a fantastic thought coming from Violette.

5. Robin Black:

Meet the makeup artist behind @beautyisboring_. Robin Black produces some of the coolest and trendiest makeup looks on Instagram. Like for instance, this metallic charcoal eye which Robin obtained after mixing two shades from the Naked Eye Shadow Palette of Urban Decay in Creep and Gunmetal. For the lips, it was Vice Lipstick in Backtalk shade. Robin Black as a celebrity makeup artist needs no further introduction, does she?

6. Kate Lee:

Meet this Chanel makeup artist Hollywood beauties cannot do without. One of the most iconic makeup artists, Lee calls her technique “appropriate and balanced”. Boldness is her second nature. She says “I sometimes go dangerously nude with skin because when someone has this light shining from within, it’s blasphemous to coat them in a mask of the foundation”. Though she was hand-to-mouth for many years in London, it was in the early ’90s when she did headshot makeup (gratis) for Kate Winslet (the rising star then). Since then there has been no looking back for this makeup artist.
