LAURENCE MAESTRELLO

I’ve shaped my eye and hand over more than a decade in the beauty industry, working as a freelance makeup artist for houses such as Chanel, Sephora, Givenchy, Dior, and Guerlain.

​

I’ve had the privilege of assisting some of the most influential artists in the field — Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Pecheux, and Violette — and later became Violette’s right hand, supporting her creative work across Guerlain.

​

Over time, my practice has expanded — from makeup artistry to product conception, from creative direction to visual storytelling.
I’ve developed a 360° approach to beauty, where instinct and precision interact at every stage of creation.

​

Today, I design looks and collections, work hand in hand with laboratories on shades and textures, and create the visuals myself, blending makeup, AI-generated imagery, and digital retouching.

​

Makeup remains the heart of my craft — the moment when an idea becomes tangible, skin to skin.

My vision of beauty is emotional and intentional: a living language of its own.
