THE STORY OF
A TRUE VISIONARY

FROM A RANDOM ENCOUNTER…

In the early 80’s, Tom was training to be a pastry chef when his journey with makeup began. He met a makeup artistry student in a famous Parisian nightclub, and the rest is history. Thanks to a wide-ranging body of work and renowned collaborations, Tom is considered as one of the world’s top-class makeup artists both by peers and clients alike.

…TO MAKEUP ARTISTRY STARDOM

Following his passion for making women feel desirable and unique, and driven by his inherent determination, Tom left makeup school to become self-taught. After a collaboration with French Marie-Claire magazine, he got his first big break working with influential photographer Peter Lindbergh. From then on, Tom was paired with the best creative minds: Mario Testino, Carine Roitfeld, Patrick Demarchelier, Karl Lagerfeld, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to name a few.

TO EMPOWER WITH MAKEUP

His signature style, which is always imbued with sensuality and a colourful playfulness, has been featured in numerous advertising campaigns and magazines such as Vogue, W, V, Interview and Harper’s Bazaar. “I love to bring the creative side to makeup when it’s right, but you also have to remember that a makeup artist is never working for himself – we’re always working for someone,” said Tom about his artistic vision.
