Her clients - Katy Perry, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna, to name a few - are known for their dramatic, ever-changing looks, so I always wonder: what could she do for me?

If you're a fan of the glowing skin and dramatic eyes all the Kardashian/Jenner sisters share, you've got to give credit where credit is due: good genes and Mario.

Give this man a medal! He makes up a few of our celeb icons, like the gorg Chrissy Teigen and Karli Kloss, and then there's his client Beyoncé, too.

Two words: Sarah Hyland. Two more: Lucy Hale. Both lovelies are Kelsey's clients, and she's always sharing behind-the-scenes shots.

In a word: classic. Her clients - including Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, and Christy Turlington - are all classic beauties, with smooth skin and smoldering eyes.

Beau's responsible for setting Hollywood trends - like Nina Dobrev's red lips - and his feed is always a great place to get a makeup tip or three.

Another artist with a long list of classic beauties as clients (like Sienna Miller, Blake Lively, and Sofia Vergara), I love Charlotte's frequent posts.
Who'd I accidentally leave off my list? Which of these artists would you want to give you a makeover?
