Jemma Kidd

Jemma Kidd (born 20 September 1974) is a British makeup artist, former fashion model, and aristocrat who transitioned from modeling to beauty entrepreneurship. She founded the Jemma Kidd Make-up School in London in 2003 and launched her eponymous cosmetics line available internationally through retailers like Boots. Kidd worked with luxury brands like Chanel and Hunter, collaborated with photographers including David Bailey and Peter Lindbergh, and contributed to major publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Tatler as a makeup artist rather than a journalist. Her career highlights include authoring 'Make-up Secrets' (2009) and serving as brand ambassador for Max Factor and Rimmel. Her makeup company dissolved in 2020 after entering administration in 2012.
