“Like so many of my fellow makeup artists, the work of Kevyn Aucoin was and is a huge inspiration for me,” James Vincent, The Makeup Show’s Director of Artist Relations, says. “Having had the ability to assist Kevyn, I feel so lucky to have learned from a legend, but even far before that, his work was the first time I really became aware that there were makeup artists in the fashion world.”
