After starting his career doing hair, D’Andre decided to focus solely on make-up and got his professional start at CNN working with top newscasters, as well as special guests such as Magic Johnson, President Jimmy Carter and Johnny Cochran. D’Andre names Kevin Aucoin as his ultimate beauty inspiration, crediting him also as a major influence on his success. His experience working with many of Hollywood’s and the music industry’s most well-known artists has contributed to D’Andre’s polished aesthetic, characterized by vibrant skin and clean, beautiful, sexy eyes and brows.

After twelve years as a Top Celebrity Make-up Artist – Mary J. Blige, Kelly Carlson, Macy Gray, Natalie Cole, Joey Lawrence, Angela Bassett, Queen Latifah, Lionel Richie and dozens more. In addition, D’Andre has worked on ad campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Johnson & Johnson, Cover Girl, AT& T, Revlon and Coca-Cola, as well as MTV and VH1. And the list goes on and on…

His work is featured in media ranging from music videos, commercials, television and movies to editorials for Vogue, In Style Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour and Vanity Fair, among others. Now he has decided to investigate photography.

Every person has a unique character, and a unique look. I blend both of these elements with my point of view. The end result allows you to see not a face, but also a life and character. Like Bellocq, Scavullo, Klein and countless others, I enjoy making people feel good about themselves. Photography is the next step for me to make that happen.
