“I always saw her drawing fashion figures in her studio, listening to music,” she said about her mother, talking candidly in an interview with Global Blue. “I thought it was a very cool way to work and I planned to do the same at a very young age.”

Having graduated from ESAG Penninghen, Académie Julian in Paris in 2009 with a master’s degree in Art Direction and Graphic Design, de Quénetain went on to co-found a graphic design studio by the age of 22. Her creative style covers a wide range of styles and disciplines, from illustration to pattern design, posters and book covers.

With collaborations with brands like Chanel, Hermes, Goop, Louboutin, and Estée Lauder, as well as a noteworthy following on Instagram, the sky is truly the limit for her. Take a look for yourself.

“Each day is genuinely different,” she told Lecture in Progress, talking about her day to day. “The industry is really fast-paced and the pool of talent is huge, so you have to keep up. It’s important to develop a style – a brand even – but at the same time you need to be versatile and ensure you’re not alienating certain audiences.”

Her versatility and spunk seemed to have paid off, attracting clients as big as Kenzo, House of Holland, Browns Fashion, and Opening Ceremony. But it took her some time to get there, working at first as a data analyst.

It was only at the age of 23 that she decided to pursue her makeup interest and enrolled at the London College of Fashion. But even then, she wasn’t fully in. “During my second year I stopped attending so I could concentrate on networking and shooting to build up a portfolio,” she recalled. Another good decision on her part.

Here are some of her eye-popping makeup looks.

The Ukrainian artist started painting dolls as a hobby, but over time this has become her full-time job. She uses mass-produced dolls like Barbies, transforming them into realistic beauties. 

But there’s a catch! Each doll has some “imperfection”, to make her all the more real. “I don’t like it when the face of the doll is ideally and perfectly symmetrical, It makes her lifeless,” she says.

Kamenetskaya does more than just repaint the dolls, she also changes their shape and size and uses wigs to make them even more realistic. With over 60k followers on Instagram, it seems that other people are catching on to her message.

Take a look at her unique dolls:

Ruiz is a Mexican born beauty guru and online influencer. She immigrated to the United States with her parents as a child and joined the Armed Forces, where she served as a mechanic for two years. After her service, she started working as a mechanic, and in an attempt to add some femininity to her life, she started creating short makeup tutorials on YouTube.

These were the early days of YouTube, and the kind of content that Candy was making was rare and in demand. She soon became an online celebrity, and her brand grew each day.

As time passed, Candy expanded beyond makeup. She started sharing tips about lifestyle and fashion, as well as details about her life. Today she’s one of the biggest beauty and lifestyle gurus on YouYube and across social media, with over 1 million followers!

What makes her so popular? It’s not just her beauty tips or early start on YouTube – it’s her warm and welcoming personality, her candidness and her dedication to spreading kindness on the web and around the world.

Ines is a Parisian-born makeup artist. Like most makeup artists, she started her journey at university, where she studied applied arts and management of fashion design. Then she moved to advertising, where she first learned about 3D design and CGI.

Ines was always fascinated with makeup, and she started experimenting with it at the tender age of 13! Futuristic looks, holographic nail polish, and silver, glittery face paint fascinated her.

Her knowledge of art and advertising, her familiarity with 3D design, and her love of makeup eventually led her to her passion project – creating futuristic digital makeup.

Ines designs looks using both traditional makeup and digital design. She uses makeup on her models’ faces and then adds layers of “makeup” on the computer, which results in a photo or a video of a unique, futuristic look. The makeup moves around, changes, and frames the models in interesting ways.

Will this be our real-life, everyday makeup in the future? We can’t know for sure, but we sure do hope so!

She was getting her master’s degree in sociology when she started uploading pictures of her nail art to Instagram. This soon became a great way to blow off steam after school, so she took a step further and opened a YouTube channel, which she aptly named Simply Nailogical. Funnily enough, she managed to form a small community around her love of nail art. Audiences started gathering to watch her videos where she’d try insane nail polish trends and challenges.

Soon she found herself living two lives: at day, she was a grown-up, serious crime and health statistics analyst, and at night she was a wacky YouTuber with an obsession with holographic nail polish. But it worked! Today she’s a YouTube star with almost 8 million subscribers, and she recently launched her own nail polish line. She’s still living her double life, but she seems to be loving every minute of it.

The British creative quickly rose to fame, turning a weekend gig painting children’s faces at birthday parties into an impressive career at a very young age.

By the age of 28, Ffrench has already worked with some of the biggest fashion icons, including Kate Moss, Rihanna and Mert, and Marcus. M.A.C Cosmetics, Junya Watanabe, and Chloé are among the brands to have tapped her talents, along with YSL, for whom she’s now Beauté UK make-up ambassador.

But the young talent isn’t interesting solely in making people pretty, explaining: “I’m just not solely interested in exploring what we are commercially fed as ‘beautiful’. I have my own instincts about beauty and what moves me and that’s what I pursue.”

Check out some of her striking work on her Instagram page.

Reid has set up her famous nail salon WAH in 2009 (the early days of the economic recession) to create a new type of beauty brand that mixes highbrow with lowbrow aesthetics – the classy with the trashy, so to speak.

Her small Dalston salon turned fairly quickly into a global sensation. Now, Reid’s nail products sell at major retailers, and her funky designs have sparked nail trends around the world.

If you want to visit her salon we recommend you book your manicure well in advance. Take a glimpse at her social media pages. It’s totally worth it.
