Vincent Longo (born May 28, 1961) is an Australian make-up artist, beauty expert, and cosmetics entrepreneur,[1][2][3] best known for his work with numerous celebrities and fashion photographers for fashion shows, red carpets, and magazine covers and editorials.[4][5][6]

Born in Swan Hill, Australia, to Italian immigrant parents,[7] his family relocated to Ventimiglia, Italy, when he was 17.[8] In Milan, he studied make-up artistry,[9] and worked with Italian designers Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, Mariuccia Mandelli, Gianfranco Ferré, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and Franco Moschino.[10][11][12]

In 1988, at the encouragement of Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Vogue editor Michela Bardini, Longo moved to New York City,[7][9] where he worked with fashion photographers Patrick Demarchelier, Gilles Bensimon, Richard Avedon, and Bruce Weber. He took on award show red carpet assignments with various celebrities,[13] and then served as a contributing beauty editor at Elle USA,[14] and as a product consultant for Revlon, Estée Lauder, and Elizabeth Arden.[15][16] He also routinely provided commentary to CNN for their Academy Awards red carpet coverage,[17] on Good Morning America, E! Entertainment, Extreme Makeover, The Early Show, The Today Show, The Jane Pauley Show, Live with Regis and Kelly.[18][19][20] In 2003, he was invited to judge the Miss USA Pageant.[21]

In 1994, Longo launched his own cosmetics label Vincent Longo Cosmetics.[22] The brand was distributed by Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Space.NK, and Sephora across the United States and in London, Tokyo, Dubai, Vancouver, Toronto, Paris, Sydney, Singapore, Stockholm & Mexico City.[23][24] The brand's products were well received,[25][26] and received accolades from Allure and Self.[citation needed] In 2007, Vincent Longo Cosmetics and Sephora, its chief distributor, ended their relationship, resulting in a loan default. An investor purchased the debt and became Longo’s partner in the business which operated under the name Zaimu Business Holdings. Zaimu ceased operations in 2016 after a dispute between Longo and his partner over marketing and product quality. Longo exited, retaining his trademark. The company's products have since been distributed in the gray market.[27]
