He has also worked with ELLE Magazine, Stella, British Vogue, Japanese Vogue, and British & Italian Grazia to name a few.
Unable to choose between his two passions of makeup and hair, and fashion and film, Kevin chose to pursue an area where he could be equally expressive with both. Before long he started to work on Popworld and the Johnny Vaughan Tonight show. This opened the door to great opportunities for him to work with a wide selection of artists from the film, music and television industries.
Kevin also leads one day seminars in two top makeup training schools. In addition to this, he is training to be a self development coach and seminar speaker. His goal is to assist in making people feel great from the inside and look fantastic on the outside, with the ethos that makeup and hair should be a way of enhancing the good feelings individuals already have about themselves.
"Whether you are male or female, makeup is an expression of what excites and inspires you in that moment, a display of the light-hearted playful side of your personality. The transformation that comes with makeup is less than skin deep. The real transformation starts deep within yourself. Don't take yourself too seriously and have fun." - Kevin Fortune
