Beyoncé’s makeup artist named Makeup Creative Director of Kilian Paris

Kilian Paris, renowned for its celebrity-loved seductive fragrances, ushers in a new era with the help of its new Makeup Creative Director, Sir John.

Starting his makeup journey backstage at a strip club in Queens, Sir John has worked his way up the business ladder, often assisting Pat McGrath at fashion shows. However, the makeup artist solidified his name in the beauty industry when he landed the gig of Beyoncé’s go-to artist for photoshoots and tours.

He later caught the eye of Kilian Paris as the olfactory haven began to look at expanding its product category. Sir John’s philosophy of ‘when we look good, we feel good’ perfectly pairs with the luxury brand Kilian Paris’ ethos.

The label took to Instagram to share the news, writing: "We are thrilled to announce @sirjohn as our new Makeup Creative Director. Makeup artist to the fashion, music, and entertainment industry’s most megawatt celebrities, Sir John will be bringing to life the most innovative makeup to uplift the party.

"Welcome to the KILIAN PARIS family, @sirjohn!"

The collaboration will commence with a revamp of the Le Rouge Parfum scented lipsticks, followed by a collection of makeup essentials. Sir John will also be featured in campaigns, including Kilian's latest fragrance launch - ‘Cant Stop Loving You’.

Kilian Hennessy, Founder of Kilian Paris, said: "Sir John is a true fan and advocate of Kilian Paris. His incredible expertise will allow him to infuse a bold new vision into our makeup. He has been an innovative makeup artist in the industry for over 15 years, working with celebrities and stellar artists of the music and fashion industries, making him the perfect partner for Kilian Paris."
