BIOGRAPHY

Known as an “Architectural designer of the face.”

Her makeup is based on human anatomy. She often states, “Know the face, know the chemistry, then understand what this person is, who she is, then enhance the part of her you adore most. Bring her personality to her physical look.” Her makeup can be visually striking, but she can also create a simple, natural look that still enhances the subject’s appearance. Her collaborators and colleagues have consistently praised the execution of her makeup and vision. Her visions, her techniques, and her experiences as a sensational idealist keep influencing the industry.

Asami moved to New York and while she was studying English, she attended a workshop held by Linda Mason. Linda noticed Asami’s potential and told her that she should pursue her career as a makeup artist. Asami took Linda’s advice and in 2008, she started assisting Lisa Butler. One year later while she was working as an assistant, a French designer, Catherine Malandrino, discovered Asami and started including her in her projects.

In 2013, Asami was introduced to influencers in fashion such as Zac Posen and Deborah Lippmann, whom she began working for personally as well as professionally.

Asami has created images and collaborated art projects with many influentials in the art and fashion industries such as for Ambre Medda, Deborah Lippmann, Zac Posen, Michèle Lamy, as well as of actors and singers Demi Moore, Uma Thurman, Maya Hawke, Lindsay Lohan, Beck, Chloë Sevigny, Tao Okamoto, Kylie Minogue, Brie Larson and many more.

The list of photographers that she has worked with are Alessi Boni, Cameron Postforoosh, Colin Dodgson, Davit Giorgadze, Gia Coppola, Gilles Bensimon, Mark Peckmezian, Terry Richardson, Tierney Gearon and so on.

Asami had worked as key makeup artist for Brooks Brothers Women in collaboration with their creative director, Zac Posen on shows by create each seasonal look from 2014 to 2020.

You can also find her work in art books, Twimuta, Kelvin Colour Today and Visionaire 60 Religion by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy.

経歴

熊本生まれ。幼少期よりピアノや絵画などの芸術に親しんで育つ。国内主要コンクールで数々の功績を残したピアノの背景は、音を色として解釈する独自の感性を育んだ。

2004年に渡米。メイクアップアーティスト、リンダ・メイソンに見出され、その後リサ・バトラーのファーストアシスタントとしてニューヨークの最前線で研鑽を積む。

現場では「目に見えないアートディレクター」と称され、解剖学的な視点から美を構築する「顔の建築デザイナー（Architectural designer of the face）」として知られる。

彼女のスタイルは、対極を自在に行き来する技術力と表現力にある。一つは、素肌そのものが息づいているかのような、極限まで無垢な「Invisible Natural」。もう一つは、自身の内面的な情動を投影し、感情を形にする表現としての「Expression Makeup」だ。
この卓越した技量と深い感性の両立こそ彼女の海外でのキャリアの幅広さが物語っているものだろう。

2013年からはデザイナーザック・ポーゼンのメイン・メイクアップアーティストも兼任し、ユマ・サーマン、ミシェル・ラミー、ブリー・ラーソン、デミ・ムーアといったアイコンたちの美を創造、メットガラ（Met Gala）やトニー賞（Tony Awards）といった世界最高峰のレッドカーペットを数多く手掛けてきた。

また、Brooks Brothers Womenのキー・メイクアップアーティストとして、2014年から2020年までの全シーズンのルックを創り上げた。ブルース・ギルデン、ジア・コッポラ、マーク・ペクメジアンなど著名フォトグラファーとの共作も多数。

彼女の作品は、アートブック、Twimuta、Kelvin Colour Today、そしてリカルド・ティッシがジバンシィ（Givenchy）のために手がけたVisionaire 60 Religionでも見ることができます。

近年ではThe WarningやWet Legといった次世代のロックバンドとも共作し、時代を捉える鋭い感性を発揮し続けている。

21年のニューヨーク生活を経て、活動の拠点を日本へ。
2026年より現場で培った知見とともに、日本での活動を本格的に始動させる。
