Beau Nelson, celebrity makeup artist and creator of luxury makeup line Beauté Cosmetics, has been creating beauty for over half of his life. Working professionally at the age of 14, Nelson’s ambition was apparent from even a young age.

Nelson’s work is generously informed by his passions for contemporary art, art history, high-end architecture and design and music of every tone. He reveres all the great icons of glamour, especially such late 20th century style stars as Halston, Guy Bourdin, Jerry Hall and Carine Roitfeld of Vogue Paris.

Originally from a small town in southern Alberta, Canada, Nelson now resides in New York City where he maintains a much varied, star-studded clientele including women like Kristen Stewart, Marcia Cross, Sienna Miller, Iman, Mary J.Blige, Brooke Shields, Lindsay Price and Blake Lively.
