Summary

Celebrities should be grateful that makeup artist Kate Lee did not listen to the school counselor who told her to become an optician. Instead, she enrolled in aesthetician school, started doing editorial and backstage makeup, and then began working with Kate Winslet when the actress was just “a wee child.” Today, the CHANEL makeup artist works regularly with clients such as Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron, and Nicola Peltz Beckham. Listen in as she shares her story, her CHANEL must-haves, and the candle shops she’s obsessed with.

Angeles-based makeup artist and a Chanel celebrity makeup artist. Earlier in her career, though,

0:24.7

she worked a lot on editorial shoots for magazines like Dazed and Confused. She did backstage

work Javanshi McQueen. And she was an assistant to the makeup artist Val Garland. But these days,

everybody knows her as like one of the go-to celebrity makeup artists. She works regularly with

Beckham. You know who we're talking about. Anyway, Jess and I were lucky enough to talk to her

0:52.0

on one of her rare days off. She's a hard woman to get ahold of. But she's joining us remotely

0:57.2

from her home in Pasadena, California. So we're going to talk about a career and her creative process

1:34.8

right now. But it's experimentay, which is like my favorite favorite. Yes, it's the ink. Yes.

1:40.8

It's the ink. It's like this blood red. Anyway, I felt it was appropriate for a fashion week and

1:45.5

fashion month. And that's one that we repeat as well. So obviously a lot of people like it,
