Celebrity make up artist, and dear friend, Beau Nelson is the creative visionary behind Beauté Cosmetics.
Q: WHO is beau nelson?
A farm boy who followed his dreams all the way to the big city.
Q: WHAT is your philosophy of beauty?
Beauty for me is very flexible. I think beauty is really about a feeling. What one person will feel beautiful wearing another will not. My own personal beauty preferences change and evolve all the time. Id describe my makeup style the same as I would describe my own personal style: Classic with an edge.
Q: WHO is your biggest inspiration in your work?
There are so many inspirations pulled from so many likely and unlikely places from people on the streets, to women like Carine Roitfeld and Iman, to classic photographs and old movies to even my assistants. If you keep your eyes open there is inspiration everywhere.
Q: What's new @ beauté?
Right now we are working on a ton of new products. We are currently very strong in lip products but will shortly be adding all manner of powder products to our lineup. Our labs are incredibly advanced and we are able to create amazing products with incredible textures and finishes. Its definitely a process, and Im a perfectionist, so Im really excited to be able to share these items with our fans.
Q: Where can we find it?
beaute-cosmetics and at Studio Beautymix at Fred Segal in LA
Q: ARE you a tranny?
No, but my friend Bryan wants to be one, he just doesn't have enough time to shave because hes too busy with school.
Q: WHAT are the Hot colors/shades for Summer?
Q: WHO are you listening to RIGHT NOW?!
Q: WHO's your favorite artist?
Too many to choose from, and it would depend on the medium, but I like some of Warhols stuff (the shadow paintings), George Vergette, Richard Halliday, and Mathew Barney to name a few.
Q: WHO is your favorite architect?
Richard Neutra, Peter Marino does great retail work, and I like Yabu Pushelberg as well.
Q: WHO is your favorite musician?
Music is a huge influence on me, most of my makeup shade names are derivative of song titles or lyrics, so if you know my music tastes you can pick out where the names of my colors are from. Everything But The Girl as I mentioned before is high up on my list, so I guess Tracey Thorne and Ben Watts are two of my favorite artists.
Q: WHO is your favorite designer?
Alexander McQueen was an incredibly talented man... the clothes were so well constructed and incredibly complex. He was more like an architect than a designer to me. I also love Ricardo Tisci, Rick Owens, and I wear a lot from my friends Adrian and Diva who design Pleasure Principle.
Q: WHO has been your Best client? WORST?
I have amazing clients, and Ive only ever had one client that I didn't really like and even that person wasn't that bad. But I'll never tell who it was.
