Bio
A creative journey...
“European women radiated a refreshing combination of transparency and effortless confidence. They weren’t afraid to be fully seen without makeup, and that made them even more magnetic to me. Experiencing this level of authenticity firsthand instantly changed my perspective about beauty and makeup.”
Robin’s fascination with makeup began at the age of seven, recreating her favorite cover looks on close friends and family. In the mid-eighties, at the height of fashion’s creative renaissance, she traveled to Europe in search of inspiration, living in Milan and Paris for over two years. There, she refined her signature approach; creating immaculate, translucent, skin, using luminous creamy textures to add light to the face, and melting makeup seamlessly into the complexion. These elements would become the hallmarks of her work.
For more than three decades, Robin’s makeup artistry has transformed the faces of some of the world's most recognizeable women, including Kate Winslet, Keri Russell, Anna Paquin, Parker Posey, Sarita Choudhury, Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson, Ashley Graham, Laura Benanti, Jessica Biel, and Elle Macpherson. Her diverse makeup range, meticulous eye for detail and inventive sensibility have led to collaborations on prestigious campaigns for Urban Decay, Rimmel, Origins, and Prescriptives.
Robin’s beauty and fashion work have appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, W, Vogue Italia, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, InStyle, Town & Country, L’Officiel, and Glamour.
MAC Cosmetics recognized Robin as one of the industry’s leading artists. She is a recipient of The Knot’s Best of Weddings Award, and her interview and body of work has been featured in Make-Up Artist Magazine. Robin has presented six masterclasses for MAC Cosmetics in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, lectured at the Makeup Designory School (MUD) in New York City, contributed expert commentary for top-tier digital publications like Glamour, InStyle, Parade and Byrdie, and remains an ongoing beauty contributor to the luxury lifestyle publication Ocean Blue World.
