God Bless Paul Starr!!!!

Famed make up artist Paul Starr was found dead in his apartment earlier today, Tuesday August 19, 2008. Friends who had not heard from him for a few days decided to drop by his apartment. They broke down his door and went into his apartment, where his body was found. He has been in "the business" for more than 20 years.

Paul had worked with all the major photographers, directors, celebrities and magazines, including Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen Von Unwerth, Annie Lebovitz, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman for publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W, Elle and Marie Claire. His complete resume can be found on his wesite via this link.

Starr also wrote a book called “Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women”. A pdf snippet from his book's chapter on Joni Mitchell is available via this link.

He was also the first in-house make up artist for Estee Lauder and a founding beauty editor for Flaunt Magazine.
