It was gore that Grace Sinnott was interested in at the beginning. When she first started out as a make-up artist she thought she would focus on gory film special effects, but she very quickly found herself being drawn into the world of fashion. Now, she channels the transformative aspect of working on cinematic projects to editorials and campaigns. “I love watching people transform into these different characters when they’ve got a look on, it’s a really powerful thing. I love to see it!” she says.
Tapping into the current fascination with otherworldly and experimental beauty trends, Sinnott’s signature style has a futuristic edge. Recognising that “algorithmic art and machine learning is definitely a really exciting avenue for fashion and beauty”, Sinnott finds the balance between classic and contemporary glamour. For a Mulger campaign, she created a dramatic smokey eye in pinks and reds which was paired with a black and red ombre lip, while a Blumarine campaign saw frosted silver lipstick perfectly matched to a shimmering silver eye.
Born and raised in Manchester, now based in north-east London, the 28-year-old’s growing portfolio includes fashion brands such as Mulberry, Heaven Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood – a career highlight for Sinnott. She has also worked some of today’s most in-demand it girls including the likes of Rosalía, bebadoobee, Iris Law and FKA twigs. Below Sinnott tells us about her earliest beauty memory, key inspirations and current obsessions.
How did you get into make-up?
Grace Sinnott: I’ve always been obsessed with make-up for as long as I can remember, but when I first started out I thought I wanted to do film and gore, but that changed very quickly into fashion.
What are you trying to communicate through your work?
Grace Sinnott: That there are no rules to make-up and to always do what you want.
What’s your earliest beauty-related memory?
Grace Sinnott: Probably my older sister coming home and I’ve got a face of her make-up on. I’d sneak into her room and get really excited by all her products. Sorry Kate!
What does beauty mean to you?
Grace Sinnott: It’s a difficult one because it changes every time I work, to be honest. That in itself is the great thing about beauty and self-expression through make-up; it’s such a temporary state. At the end of the day, it’s washed off and you never see it again. It gives you permission to be totally unpredictable.
When do you feel most beautiful?
Grace Sinnott: With a great eyeliner on!
What is the future of beauty?
Grace Sinnott: I think algorithmic art and machine learning is definitely a really exciting avenue for fashion and beauty – people seem to be really intrigued by it and I keep seeing more and more of it.
Are you optimistic about the future?
Grace Sinnott: Definitely.
Tomorrow you wake up with another face of your choice. Whose is it and why?
Grace Sinnott: Probably my 22-year-old self’s face!
What is your biggest career highlight so far?
Grace Sinnott: Vivienne Westwood has always been one of my favourite designers. I was obsessed as a teenager, so doing a campaign for her felt really cool.
Describe your beauty aesthetic in three words.
Grace Sinnott: Sharp, tough, sexy!
Which fictional character do you most relate to?
Grace Sinnott: Bart Simpson maybe, I’m mischievous.
Who is your beauty icon?
Grace Sinnott: I love Pete Burns so much, the eyes brows, the lip liner everything.
What is your current obsession?
Grace Sinnott: Evil eyebrows!
