Lloyd Simmonds (formally key artist at M.A.C.) was introduced as Yves Saint Laurent’s international makeup artist at the press presentation of the new Rouge Pur Couture lipstick line in Paris on June 23 2010.
“I use Shu Uemura makeup for drawing, as they have the most beautiful color palette. Did you know that in the old days, children’s books were illustrated using makeup sticks?” asked the designer, Karl Lagerfeld.
I found this very interesting news.....a bit surprised he didn't mention Chanel.
"Being a makeup artist is not only about applying makeup. It’s about
everything around you, people, places, colors, all the things that
inspire and affect your life."
