As one of today's most experienced and reliable professional makeup artists, Marie Josee Lafontaine shares her love of and passion for her work with each and every one of her projects.
 
Fascinated by art as a child, Marie Josee found her inspiration in beauty, makeup, and fashion. Working in Montreal, Paris, and New York, Marie Josee made a name for herself in editorial and advertising, working with clients such as Maybelline, L'Oreal, Lancôme, Revlon, Almay, Neutrogena, and L'Bel. It is through this work that she honed her much sought-after skills in featuring a product, to adapt a LOOK, a BRAND, into the context of any image or film.
 
In addition to these iconic brands, Marie Josee has also collaborated with such notable companies as Ann Taylor, Liz Claiborne, Longines, Rolex, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Victoria’s Secret. And just some names on the list of world-renowned photographers who have shot her work include Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, Erez Sabag, Patrick Demarchelier, Richard Avedon, Michel Comte, Gilles Bensimon, Hans Feurer, and Walter Chin. Her faces have graced the pages of Cosmopolitan, Elle (US, France, Italy), Glamour, GQ, Interview, Marie Claire, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue (French, German, British, American, Italian), and many others.

And while Marie Josee has applied her beauty philosophy to the Supermodels of the '80s and '90s, not to mention the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Claire Danes, Holly Hunter, Julia Stiles, Julianna Margulies, Kate Hudson, Laura Dern, Liv Tyler, Mariah Carey, Meryl Streep, Monica Bellucci, Natalie Portman, Robin Wright, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Padma Lakshmi, she remains fiercely inspired about her work.
