Thierry Pourtoy
Thierry and his staff of six makeup artists are available through four salons (Joseph Martin, Estegica, Prive, and Salon Cristophe) throughout Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, but we caught up with him at Salon Cristophe. The salon is filled with the beautiful people for which L.A. is known, and with Thierry's skill, we were made up to look as glamorous as we felt. Thierry is known for his use of neutral colors and intricate blending. His technique is different from most, as he uses only brushes, no pencils or sponges. Despite the many women who rely on Thierry to help them look their best, his prices are extremely reasonable at $65 for makeup application and $75 per lesson. The opportunity to have foundation custom-blended from his own cosmetic line, Palette Maquillage, is an offer no one should pass up.
