Makeup artist Sam Visser started out by teaching himself the basics with pre-YouTube bibles. Now he's carrying the torch for fashion’s past while carving out its digital future, one supermodel at a time.
was just 12 years old, he spotted David Hernandez—a longtime makeup artist of Courtney Love and Lindsay Lohan—inside a Make Up For Ever boutique on L.A.’s Robertson Boulevard. Visser recognized Hernandez from the makeup tutorial for Britney Spears’s “Hold It Against Me” music video and marched right up to him. Hernandez, noting his enthusiasm, invited Visser to join him on the set of a David LaChapelle shoot a few days later.
Visser, now 20, got hooked on the transformative power of makeup even earlier. He taught himself the basics with pre-YouTube bibles, such as Kevyn Aucoin’s iconic 1997 tome Making Faces and François Nars’s Makeup Your Mind, but he honed his skills with online tutorials, often locking himself in his room to binge-watch demos. By middle school, he was unofficially shade-matching shoppers at his local MAC counter.
