2) Dominic Skinner
Dominic, Senior Global Artist at MAC Cosmetics, has been in the beauty industry for nearly 20 years. His biggest influence in the field of cosmetics was the character of Daryl Hannah Pris in Blade Runner, who had smeared colors on his eyes. He constantly encourages his customers to experiment with strong cosmetics. Dominic shared the inspiration for his makeup on his official MAC site. He stated:
“Even though I’ve moved around a lot, I don’t have to go anywhere in particular for inspiration,” she says.
He also stated:
“I find that ideas are all around me; it’s just a matter of finding those that others may have overlooked.”
Over the years, Skinner has collaborated with numerous well-known figures from the industry. Additionally, after many years at MAC, the Glow Up judge’s most memorable experience was assisting Alex Box on a magazine shoot directed by Alexander McQueen.
