Ep. 235: Immortalizing Your Makeup Archives Through Art - Lee Will

Friends in Beauty Podcast

On this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Lee Will to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Lee is a multidisciplinary makeup artist with a distinct approach that seamlessly blends the worlds of painting and cosmetics. With a background in visual arts, he brings a painter's eye to every face, treating skin like a canvas and makeup like a medium. His work is informed by his deep understanding of color, texture, and form, allowing him to create looks that are both innovative and timeless.

Specializing in fashion, beauty, and red carpet, Lee has developed a reputation for his ability to enhance natural beauty while also pushing the boundaries of traditional makeup use. His unique perspective, honed through years of experience and artistic exploration, sets him apart in the industry, making him a sought-after talent for high-profile projects and clients. Whether it's a runway show, editorial shoot, or a red carpet appearance, he brings creativity, precision, and a fresh vision to every look he creates.

To date, Lee has worked on Campaigns for Balenciaga, Zadig and Voltaire, Timberland with clients such as Burberry, Hearst, and British Airways. His editorials and ad work have appeared in titles such as Vogue, Dazed, Red Magazine and Wonderland.

During our chat we talked about how we met, the process of getting signed to an agency, family & friend’s reaction to doing makeup as a straight man, his upcoming art show, how being yourself (even if you’re an introvert) can open doors for you and so much more.

Enjoy this episode!
