Und ich habe es nicht bereut! Over the next three years, Aucoin did the makeup for 18 American Vogue covers as well as numerous covers for other fashion magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan. In fact, between 1987 and 1989, he did nine Vogue covers in a row as well as seven Cosmopolitan covers. He was part of a movement that pushed fashion into the mainstream in the early 1990s, and it was Aucoin who changed the way high-profile models did their makeup, ultimately transforming Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Paulina Porizkova into supermodels and cultural icons. Eight months after moving to Manhattan (where he spent his first winter in an unheated Hell’s Kitchen walk-up), Aucoin got his big break when he was booked to do Meg Tilly’s makeup for a spread in Vogue, which would be shot by acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Meisel.

Later, Aucoin would work with Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido on their Inoui line. [12] He would later be approached by both Vincent Longo and Laura Mercier to endorse their eponymous lines, [ citation needed] but decided to launch his own brand, Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, in 2001 instead.Dennis, Alicia (December 11, 2008).

Individueller Auftrag von dunklem Puder zur Konturierung/Rouge/Lidschatten je nach Gesichts- und Augenfarben und -formen According to Kevin, he argues that makeup can make anyone any race they want, saying he can be Asian one moment and Spanish the next. I think that the climate of today's cancel culture would definitely not let him get away with saying that so this book definitely shows it is from another era. He realized he was gay at age six. [5] His parents were unaware of their son's sexual orientation; his mother later said, "I didn't think Kevyn was a sissy; I just thought he was a gentle child." [2] Years later, his parents became staunch advocates for LBGTQ rights, and started a chapter of P-FLAG in Lafayette. [2] [6]Entertainment Weekly Staff (October 10, 1997).

The Kevyn Aucoin Beauty brand has remained in business since his death, and is still sold in multiple stores, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Sephora, and Space.NK. In 2018, years after his death, a feature documentary titled Larger Than Life: The Kevyn Aucoin Story hit screens, chronicling the extraordinary life of the first celebrity makeup artist.

Aucoin started stealing makeup from local stores, as he was too embarrassed to buy. Then he would then spend hours practising makeup application techniques and transforming his younger sister Carla to look like a model (he gave his first makeover when he was 11 and she was five). At age 15, he dropped out of high school after two classmates tried to run him over with a car. Shortly after, he enrolled in cosmetology school – and it wasn’t long before he surpassed his teacher’s abilities and began teaching the classes himself. Kardashian’s makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, who these days is regularly credited as the king of contouring, defers to Aucoin…rightfully so. “Kevyn was the first one to put that out for the world to see,” he says.Aucoin was also one of the first makeup artists to champion diversity in the beauty industry, starting in 1983 when he was made a creative director at Revlon and pushed to create a line of foundations called The Nakeds. It was a revolutionary moment in makeup as the shades in this line catered to all skin tones, something that wasn’t the norm.
