- This article or section should include material from Kevyn Acoin
Kevyn Aucoin (February 14, 1962 in Shreveport, Louisiana – May 7, 2002) was a make-up artist who was well known for catering to the laywoman's need to feel beautiful. A proponent of the philosophy that every woman is beautiful within, he was, until his death in 2002 (from a brain hemorrhage), one of the most well-paid celebrity make-up artists in history.
As a published author (Making Faces and The Art of Make-Up), he was fond of taking celebrities (and various other women, including his mother) and using makeup and costume to make them look like other celebrities, or like other people entirely. For example, in one book he made up singer Tori Amos to look like Mary, Queen of Scots; in another, he turned actress Hilary Swank into Raquel Welch.
