Celebrity makeup artists can command upwards of $10,000 a day for their services. Multiply that by all the days in the year, plus double-duty when it comes time for awards seasons, and you've got yourself one outrageous salary. All of these artists have loyal celebrity clients that request their company across the globe, wherever it is they may be working. Can you guess who some of their famous-faced clients are? I think that Paul Starr is a genius, and I love the natural effect that Nick Barose achieves. Who is your favorite celebrity makeup artist?
Miss Sixty
Browns Fashion

Have never sen Heidi look anything less than amazing so Lind def has my vote.
1I like Pat McGrath
2I would have to say mally Roncal I luv all the celebs makeup
she has worked on 
3Pat McGrath is the best in the biz!!! My Fav.
4I think I'm going to have to say Pat McGrath too, even though I associate her with runway shows. But I pay more attention to the makeup from runway shows than I do from the red carpet anyway.
5Why isn't Pat McGrath on the list?
6I don't think anyone comes near what Kevin Aucoin was - you could spot a cover he worked on across a crowded airport terminal. Any actress he did looked her most beautiful - nobody's work stands out like that now.
7Linda Hay, definitely. The VS Angels always look amazing. I've never seen a bad look by her.
8Mally! Especially because she's also Filipina. REPRESENT! LOL!
9Wow -- where's Pat McGrath, Dick Page, Polly Osmond, Charlotte Tilbury ... : (
10Alexis Vogel. How could you leave her out?
11I love Carmindy from What Not to Wear. She's does make-up for so many magazines and products. She does beautiful faces.
12I voted Mally cause that's the only one I knew.
13Sam Fine! Someone's gotta make women of color look gooood
14I agree Stephley! Kevin Aucoin was the best. He could make anyone beautiful and brought out the best features in everyone he worked with.
15Because I'm Asian, I would love to be made-up by Mally Roncal, a Filipina like me.
16MALLY!!!! Love her and her cosmetics.
17Pat McGrath
18Pat McGrath
19Linda!
20Mr. Starr is a great guy. I adore Hank Hoffman, and I'm a huge fan of Fiona Stiles as well. They all do great work.
21Mally, because Jennifer Lopez always looks fabulous, other than the false lashes she's used on her. Anyways, I don't really follow celebrity makeup artists.
22Kevyn Aucoin... still.
23Aucoin, forever. I have all of his books and I still flip through them today to take a look at what a true genius can do. I do like Mally and Pat McGrath, and I also am a fan of Charlie Green.
24Dick Page (for promoting barely there makeup and drug store brands) and Pat McGrath for her awesome color sense and daring!
25
Kevin Aucoin. I also love Collier Strong. HATE Rick Baker, but he's special effects. Such a douche.
26Brigitte Bugayong! She does awesome work. She is currently working on Grey's Anatomy.
27MALLY and its like no brainer bcuz J.LO looks fab 24/7!
28i don't know of these people but i wud have to say linda, cos heidi always looks fab.
29Pat Mcgrath is one that i do know and she's freaking great - i've watched her on F-TV and she had done some great spring/natural looks.
"i don't know any of these people"
30Kevyn Aucoin
31Kevyn Aucoin ... his work is almost breathtaking.
32Pat McGrath & Charlie Green =)
33Have anyone heard of Zing? He is my favorite.
34Jake Bailey--MAX Factor's makeup artist. He's fantastic!
35Kevyn Aucoin.
36The late Kevin Aucoin is by far the most talented makeup artist of our generation.
37pat mcgrath, im not sure how she cant be mentioned and of course the late great kevin aucoin
38Paul Starr is a HACK, I've seen his makeup in person and I was not impressed at all.
Dick Page, Sam Fine, Pat McGrath, Francesca Tolot, James Vincent and the king BILLY B.!
39i really like Pat Mcgrath,
40but i loved the collection
that Gucci Westman did
with Lancome, just beautiful
colors, and textures
Of these I like Mally but I'd say Pat Mcgrath is the best. Dick Page and Billy B rock too.
41Kevyn Aucoin
And I can't stand Mally.
42Jake Bailey! MAX Factor's Celeb Makeup Artist --- he is amazinggggg!
and Pat McGrath -- she's an icon
43Joanna Gair all the way. One of the world's most infamous makeup artist. She is incredibly talented.
44my vote goes to Nick Barose coz he's Thai and he always brings good tips for the girls who read Seventeen Thailand
He also did make up for Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Misha Barton and Scarlett Johanson! (i read from Seventeen too
)
45Pat McGrath, all of her work is just absolutely beautiful! Kevyn Aucoin was the greatest. I really love Laura Mercier's work for more natural celebrity style and Carol Shaw is great too.
46Definitely Pat McGrath, Scott Barnes, and Billy B
47I miss Kevyn Aucoin.
48Kevyn Aucoin. Always and forever.
49I admire the work of all of these makeup artists (the ones Ive heard of anyway) but when I look at what a makeup artist like Mally has done, it's usually "big smokey eyes and hot pink lips with tan tan skin." Sometimes she does pale lips too. It looks good...but I'd like to see more range and creativity. I voted for Gucci Westman because she's done some really creative/unusual looks for fashion shows, but it is always very beautiful. Her lancome lines were great too.
Kevyn Aucoin of course is legendary. I have two of his books, and they were makeup inspiration at a young age...I learned a lot of good things from him. But I couldn't vote for Kevyn cuz he wasn't on the list
