Makeup Beat

YSL’s unique Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation and Rouge Pure Lipstick in “Opium Red” (”a not too blue not too yellow color that took months to get just right”) are only two of the products developed by the YVES SAINT LAURENT BEAUTE artistic director LINDA CANTELLO . A graduate of London’s Harrow Art School with a Fine Arts Degree, Linda then established herself in the late 80’s as a makeup artist working with the top fashion designers and photographers in both New York and Paris. Realizing that what works on the runway must be translated differently for the everyday woman, Linda decided to create her own cosmetic line using state of the art formulas and an innovative approach to color, including everything from makeup brushes to eye cream all under her own name. To be able to maintain her own line and be director for YSL is a compliment to her immense talent. (click small photos to enlarge)
