Famous fashion Makeup Artist Joey Mills.
“Ode to Superstar Makeup Artist Joey Mills”
Before there was a Kevyn Aucoin, before there was a Sam Fine, or a Bobby Brown, Francois Nars or any others there was JOEY MILLS!! Joey Mills was the first African American Makeup Artist, and Makeup Artist in general Black or white, to have the most magazine covers…ever! Over 1600 magazines to be exact!
He was also the Key Makeup Artist for the 70’s film “The Eyes of Laura Mars”.
Joey set the look for Calvin Klein fashions as well as the well known Calvin Klein Jeans ads and commercials with none other than Brooke Shields.
Joey has worked with Legends Diana Ross, Rachel Welch, Melba Moore, Pauline Porizkova and many more.
Joey is also the author of New Classic Beauty: A Step-by-Step Guide to Naturally Glamorous Make-Up. Still going strong and lively where his contemporaries have long since passed away … Joey still remains as a LIVING LEGEND all I can say is … “Joey Mills is BAAADD!”
