6. NICK BAROSE

Nick Barose does not want to answer your questions about contouring. I love him because he's outspoken about the things he doesn't agree with in the makeup, beauty, and fashion industries, plus he gets to touch Amy Poehler's precious face.

I promise you know Sir John. Even if you don't, you likely love what he can do without even realizing he's the man behind the plan. How do I know this? Because he has touched the face of perfection itself – that is, he does makeup for Queen Bey, along with Joan Smalls and Soo Joo Park.
