The Makeup Museum's Beauty Campaign, Makeup With Pride, Features LGBTQ+ Trailblazers

The first LGBTQ+ trailblazer to kick off Makeup With Pride on the Makeup Museum's Instagram is American makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin (pictured above). "He's arguably the first modern-day celebrity makeup artist and worked with so many incredible people," said Bloch. Just a few of Aucoin's most notable clients from the '90s were Naomi Campbell, Cher, Madonna, and Cindy Crawford. As a gay man, he supported many different gay rights organizations and was an early LGBTQ+ activist.
