MEET MALE GROOMER - CHANTAL MOORE

Born and raised in San Francisco, celebrity male groomer Chantal Moore began working in the fashion industry at a young age. "I discovered fashion early on. I wore vintage clothes, false eyelashes, and red lipstick to school. I never expected to become a makeup artist - it just turned out that I had a natural ability."

For years Ms. Moore has studied the faces of beauty icons like Marlena Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor.  Fascinated by the transformations that take place with makeup, Ms. Moore used her experience as a model to segue into the makeup artist industry. Soon she began working with celebrities like Dave Navarro, Adam Goldberg, Kellan Lutz, George Clooney, Jared Leto, and more. EVOLUTIONMAN got to speak to Ms. Moore recently about her career.
