Meet Michael Anthony, the makeup artist responsible for Ariana Grande’s floating white eyeliner in the “Rain on Me” video, Katy Perry’s punk-princess look, and Rita Ora’s retro-glam makeup in countless photo shoots. In this interview, he shares how he got his start at a MAC store, snagged an agent, and became one of beauty's most influential creatives. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to become a makeup artist or learn what goes on behind the scenes in the beauty and entertainment industry.
