Nolwenn Quintin is a Paris-based makeup artist known for her refined, skin-focused aesthetic and distinctive artistic vision. Her visual universe is marked by natural elegance infused with softness and quiet poetry. Through precise gestures and an intuitive sensitivity, Nolwenn reveals each face’s intrinsic beauty while subtly exploring texture, material, and color.

Her style flows gracefully between delicate enhancement of natural features and more daring creative expressions, where light, contrast, and material become tools for storytelling. Each makeup look is a visual language, carrying emotion and intent.

Before fully dedicating herself to artistic creation, Nolwenn worked in beauty communications as a press officer. This experience gave her a deep understanding of image, branding, and the emotions they convey. Today, this strategic yet instinctive eye shapes her work as a makeup artist, which she approaches as a form of intimate, visual writing.

Her hybrid, contemporary approach has drawn the attention of renowned brands including Guerlain, Violette_fr, Céline Beauté, Destree, Chopard, Gerald Genta, and Bulgari. She frequently collaborates with acclaimed photographers such as Louise & Maria Thornfeldt, Paolo Roversi, Quentin de Briey, Sølve Sundsbø, Pablo Saez, Antoni Ciufo, Zoé Kovacs & Flavien Prioreau, and Ward Ivan Rafik, resulting in images that are both sensitive and powerful.

Alongside her work as a makeup artist, Nolwenn also consults on beauty product development. From concept to laboratory, she is involved in every stage of the process—working closely with chemists during hands-on formulation sessions to create products aligned with her vision of modern beauty and care.
