Celebrity Makeup Artist. Founder. Realist.

Jo Baker has brought her fresh, modern makeup style to the faces of the biggest red carpets, campaigns, concerts, music videos, and magazine covers.

For over two decades, you’ve seen her work - even if you didn’t know it.

Jo grew up in London, studied at London College of Fashion and started out at the MAC counter in Selfridges before her first major client, Usher, took her on tour. Since then she has created looks for Margot Robbie, Lucy Boynton, Vanessa Kirby, Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek, Olivia Wilde and Sharon Stone.

Jo has tried, applied and tested every cult beauty hit. She knows what performs — and what doesn’t. She knows what is worth the hype and what is good marketing.

BAKEUP is her die-hard edit: the high-performing staples she can’t live without, designed for her kit, her clients, and real women everywhere.

“Makeup should take no longer than five minutes. It should perform, last, and make you feel like yourself - just with a bit more confidence.” - Jo Baker
