10 make-up artists loved by celebrities: from Beyoncé’s fave Sir John and Kim K’s go-to Mario Dedivanovic, to Ariana Grande’s glam looks by Ash K Holm and Meghan Markle’s wedding glow by Daniel Martin
- During the Sag-Aftra and WGA strikes – the latter of which just reached a tentative agreement with AMPTP – Hollywood’s glam squads have been out of work, including make-up artists
- Celebrities turn to these beauty gurus for red carpet events – like Ash K Holm, who lists Megan Fox, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Shay Mitchell as fans
While many of these professionals support the strikes, celebrity make-up artists have also been speaking up about their own challenges. Over the past five months, they’ve faced empty schedules as the protests continued. Hopefully, with WGA reaching a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on Sunday, their calendars will begin to fill up once again.
Meanwhile, we’re highlighting 10 talented make-up artists you can start following right away.
