Episode 21 - This week we have the enigmatic John Stapleton on the show.
John T Stapleton is a Brooklyn native who moved to LA to pursue screenwriting after graduating from the School Of Visual Arts. His independent films "Mi Pollo Loco" and "Angels" quickly became the cult darlings of the film festival circuit.
Scouted as a model in the early nineties, he learned the importance of makeup on men during the heroin chic phase of fashion. Skinny boys with Smokey eyes were having a moment and when it was over, Stapleton turned to his next career phase- makeup artistry, taking a position at MAC in 1996. John has now been with MAC for 24 years and holds a Senior National Artist title.
Somewhere along the way, he stumbled into a notable career as a make-up artist, working with such names as Kelly Osbourne, Anika Noni Rose, Margaret Cho, and Joan Jett and landed a role as Senior Artist at MAC Cosmetics, propelling him into the world of backstage fashion. Stapleton worked on E! Fashion Police for five years, developed and appeared as Margaret Cho’s Makeup Artist on VH1’s The Cho Show. Stapleton is currently the Makeup Designer for the forthcoming Netflix series Selena.
