ABOUT SIR JOHN

"Sir John is a makeup and color artist who reveals and transforms, inspired by the essence of his client's natural beauty. A consummate visionary, Sir John uses the power of cosmetics to exalt women to their highest impact. In his youth, Sir John fell in love with the vibrant aesthetic of The Lion King and as an adult has developed a deep appreciation for South Africa where he often finds himself at work and plays. Because his long-time client and friend Beyonce is the voice of Nala in the upcoming CGI remake, Disney considered it a natural fit for Sir John to develop a capsule collection of cosmetics in partnership with Luminess Cosmetics, inspired by the film. Both the cosmetics line and film are set for release in July 2019."

ABOUT THE LION KING COLLECTION

Famed celebrity makeup artist, Sir John, and Luminess Cosmetics collaborated to present Disney’s The Lion King inspired makeup collection. Having fallen in love with the incredible imagination and storytelling of Disney’s original The Lion King in his youth, Sir John’s connection with the film and the world it takes place in was further heightened when his work took him to Africa. By partnering with Luminess Cosmetics (known for their high quality and innovative products), Sir John was able to create a limited-edition collection for Director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King”. This collaboration has created a one-of-a-kind makeup collection featuring highly pigmented formulas with colors curated from the African landscape to create stunning day and night looks. The highly-pigmented rich formulas all come together in hand-designed etched packaging inspired by the iconic scenes and characters from the film. Together, Sir John and Luminess Cosmetics have worked closely to artistically capture the essence of the Disney characters and film while transforming them into a modern-day cosmetic collection.
