MICHAEL SHEPHERD

Born and raised in Northern California, now based in Los Angeles,

Michael's love for makeup started early, inspired by watching his grandmother getting ready no matter the occasion. That passion grew through his love of Halloween and the transformative power of makeup — but it wasn’t until witnessing his first drag performance that he truly saw

makeup as art, capable of changing not just appearances but how people feel.

 

With over a decade in the beauty industry, Michael has worked across editorial, red carpet, film, television, and live performance. He’s been part of the glam teams of Lady Gaga and Doechii, styling dancers and talent seen by millions worldwide — alongside some of young Hollywood’s most exciting faces, magazines, and on-screen projects.

 

Michael’s signature style blends creativity and precision to craft looks that are personal, elevated, and unforgettable — because makeup is more than a look; it’s a feeling.
