Kevyn Aucoin is considered the world's first celebrity makeup artist. He worked with Naomi Campbell, Cher, Julia Roberts and Cindy Crawford. While makeup was his trade, it was his charm and charisma that secured him fame. Kevyn started his career at the age of eighteen in New York City doing makeup for a series of amateur test shoots. From this work, Aucoin was noticed by Vogue and went on to work with Vogue photographer Steven Meisel.

His first influential role was creative director at Revlon; where he designed "The New Naked's", the first makeup like to introduce contouring powders. Kevyn decided to launch his own brand "Kevyn Aucoin Beauty" in 2001.
