Maxine Leonard is a Makeup Artist with broad experience and extensive knowledge in the fashion industry. Editorially, she has contributed to Vogue (British, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese), Harpers Bazaar, Numero, i-D, Man About Town, Teen Vogue, LOVE, W and V.
Maxine’s career began when, on completion of her course at London College of Fashion, she worked for the Shu Uemura Artistic Team in Japan. During this time Maxine helped in the development of Shu Uemura’s product line, trend forecasts and concepts, which she regularly demonstrated on stage – during master classes and seminars.
“Mr. Uemura is truly inspirational and placed great emphasis on creativity and perfecting my individual strengths,” she says. And it was during this time Maxine not only discovered her own unique approach to makeup, but also determined the practice of creating beautifully luxurious skin - part of her training involved learning the 16 ways Mr. Uemura had devised for cleansing the face.
Upon returning to London Maxine has continued to direct international fashion shows; brands including Hugo Boss, Just Cavalli, Karen Walker, Peter Jenson, Levis, Fake, Louis De Gama, Boyd, Custo Barcelona, Missoni and Ralph Lauren have benefited from her sophisticated and modern approach to makeup.
Additionally, it was during Maxine’s four years as Beauty Director at Wonderland that she was able to direct beauty stories: translating briefs from luxury houses, including: Yves Saint Lauent, Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Vidal Sassoon and Shu Uemura – editorially and through film. Working closely with photographers Maxine commissioned teams; and created concepts through mood boards and narratives for these shoots and films.
Maxine is UK ambassador of Suqqu Make Up and Skin Care.
Celebrity clients include: Adele, Jennifer Anniston, Lilly Allen, Yasmin Le Bon, Lou Doillon, Nathalie Dormer, Jessica Brown Findlay, Naomi Harris, Megan Fox, Anna Friel, Eva Herzigovia, Paz De La Huerta, Jessie J, Georgia May Jagger, Kiera Knightley, Lucy Liu, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Rita Ora and Evan Rachel Wood, Taylor Swift, Cara Delevingne, Poppy Delevingne, Alexa Chung, Claudia Schiffer, Gwendoline Christie, Joely Richardson, Lily James, Kaya Scodelario, Elizabeth Moss, Josephine De La Baume, Michael Fassbender, Imogen Poots, Lily Cole, Cheryl Cole, Jessie Ware and Suki Waterhouse.
