Based in New York, Japan’s Yuki Hayashi is a renowned makeup artist, who started out as a hairdresser but gradually realized he enjoyed makeup more and decided to gain expertise in the craft. He worked with makeup star Pat McGrath for five years as the first assistant, an experience that strengthened his skills and lent him exceptional insight into several techniques. With Pat, Yuki’s talent bloomed and he developed a stronghold in understanding how fashion imagery works. He worked with her on international runway projects and was also introduced to renowned photographers. The exposure built his network and made many top brands take notice of his craft. Today Yuki works independently with a reputation of being the perfect balance between genuine skill and playful ability to experiment with techniques. He has worked on editorials and magazine covers for Vogue Hong Kong, T Magazine, Vogue Korea, Esquire U.S, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview Germany, Vogue Taiwan, V, Numero Berlin, and many others. His advertising projects include works with Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, Coca Cola, Browns, Carolina Lemke, and Tom Ford. The ability to achieve exceptionally polished, baby-like skin with expert refinement and daring use of colors almost with a quirky twist have become the hallmarks of his touch.
