Pecheux is a logical match for the brand. The makeup artist’s iconic archival backstage beauty looks include bold eyes emphasized with extreme eyelashes and bedazzled cat-eyes. The in-demand makeup artist has worked on set with iconic photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, and Mario Testino, painting the faces of numerous models and celebrities for covers and campaigns. He’s also the man behind some of Shiseido’s and Estée Lauder’s most covetable products (including Pure Color Envy).
