In celebration of diversity, individuality, love, gender expansiveness, self expression, and Pride, VIOLET GREY spotlights the LGBTQIA+ creatives and activists who inspire us.

Michael Anthony, makeup artist and esteemed member of VIOLET GREY’s Committee of Industry Experts, first discovered beauty at a young age through a family member’s Mary Kay stash. Now the genius behind many of Katy Perry’s most glamorous moments, not to mention Ariana Grande’s unforgettable galactic sparkle. Always evolving, Anthony values the insight of a new generation of creatives and continues to push his own boundaries through constant experimentation.
