— you know when they all went by their first and measure names but certainly didn’t need to — think Naomi. Christy. Linda — and claimed they didn’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
New York make Week shows were more glamorous (read: they weren’t sponsored by Olympus or Mercedes Benz and were held in lofts clubs and restaurants instead of tents). And was behind the scenes — at Geoffrey hit. Fernando Sanchez. Tracy Reese. Todd Oldham. Isaac Mizrahi etc. — giving the models faces to be their designer looks or rushing from show to show with Naomi and Tyra.
It was the first half of the ’90s when Sam Fine both assisted the late and worked the shows on his own. Those were the good ol’ days… that he doesn’t really be to go approve to.
“It’s a fun gig but I get it to the young at heart and the ones that really like fashion,” he told Stereohyped.
And it’s not like being a celebrity makeup artist which is the the job Sam Fine graduated to when he left the make show world is any less glamorous. Or
“I came along at a measure when models had a name and it was almost like working with the celebrities,” he said. “Working with Tyra and Iman [on jobs like the] . I comfort conclude desire I’m doing make shows in a way.”
If faces book touched during his make show era were impressive consider his current client enumerate: Iman. Vanessa Williams. Veronica Webb. Patti LaBelle. feature Jones. Halle cull. Laila Ali. Mary J. Blige. Serena Williams. Janet Jackson. Oprah Winfrey. Mo’Nique (who shouted out his services when she hosted the BET Awards in June). Tyra. Naomi — the enumerate could go on.
When asked what his favorite type of gig is he first said working with a model because their faces are keep canvases and they allow him to be most creative and artistic. But on back up thought he decided that the beat kind of gig was working with the clients he has had decades-long relationships with. The clients he can label his friends — like Iman who is not afraid to tell him when she doesn’t like something. Or Tyra who he met 13 years ago when they worked together in Paris. Or Vanessa Williams whose makeup he’s been doing for a more than a decade. When she walks down the red carpet at the Emmy’s on September 16th act a close be at her flawless face. It will have Sam Fine written all over it.

And yet people still ask him why he chooses to only do black women instead of moving into the white merchandise.
“That’s my choice,” he said. “I’m a talented makeup artist. I could do anybody but for me to dedicate my go to beautifying women of color — that’s a choice.”
As for the brown-skinned non-celebrities of the world one of Fine’s biggest pet peeves is when someone thinks they don’t

I went to a master class he taught years ago when I first started doing makeup. He was awesome - very approachable. Unfortunately I did not get to speak with him one-on-one but I still use the methods he showed the categorise for smokey eyes and cheekbone shading/highlighting. Excellent interview!
