Ep 312: Larger than life: Making a documentary about the most famous makeup artist ever, Kevyn Aucoin, with director Tiffany Bartok
Episode 312
Thursday, 15 January, 2026

Today my guest is Tiffany Bartok, the woman who, back in 2013 decided to make a documentary about the legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin.Little did she know it would take numerous interview requests spread across several few years and along the way someone else would also decide to make a Kevyn Aucoin documentary!If you don’t already know Kevyn Aucoin, he was a brilliant, influential makeup artist who rose to fame in the ‘80s and ‘90s.While he worked with all the great photographers, including Albert Watson, Herb Ritts, Steven Klein and Steven Meisel, he was known for always taking Polaroids of his own looks and becoming one of the highest paid makeup artists in history.In this episode, Tiffany – who’s also the host of one of my fave geeky podcasts Look Behind the Look – shares on the ups and downs and the realities of making a documentary and also about the brilliance of Kevyn himself.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves makeup, is a fan of Kevyn’s work or anyone who’s ever wondered about what it takes to make a documentary.LinksWatch Larger than Life: The Kevyn Aucoin Story: https://vinylfoote.vhx.tv/checkout/larger-than-life-the-kevyn-aucoin-storyFollow Tiffany at https://www.instagram.com/tiffanybartokMy Substack: https://thecharissereport.substack.comThreads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenionCheck out my ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautymeBusiness inquiries: info@charissekenion.com
