VIMI JOSHI
GLOBAL Celebrity and Fashion Makeup Artist

Born in England, I was raised in the traditional Indian way and from an early age, I remember being dazzled by the colours, textures and richness of my true culture. As my parents wished, my professional career began in medicine but I realised after a short time that my passion for art and colour was far greater than prescriptions and test tubes so, with my parents support, I stayed true to myself and pursued this passion. After I graduated from the reputable Glauca Rossi School of Makeup in London, I landed my first job as a makeup artist on the coveted MTV UK “Hanging Out” show. I worked there for a few years before I had the opportunity to move to the Middle East with MAC. Since then I’ve worked as MAC Regional Trainer before becoming a MAC Senior Artist. What I love about being with MAC is travelling around the world sharing my knowledge: Working backstage at the international fashion weeks experiencing the beauty trends as they happen; meeting people, being inspired by them, sharing the same passion about makeup and artistry; and doing makeup every day. I love my job!

In 2004, I moved to Dubai To become the senior artist for Middle-East and India where I got to launch MAC in India And work with all the major Bollywood celebrities. In 2005, I became director of artistry for the Bollywood Oscars, The IIFA Awards. I transitioned into a global senior artist for MAC cosmetics where I travelled the world doing makeup at all major fashion events.
