Paul Starr 

Makeup artist Paul Starr – who worked for A-listers including Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Garner – was found dead in his L.A. apartment on Tuesday. He was only 48.

According to a friend of his, Starr hadn’t been seen or heard from in several days. After knocking repeatedly on his door, the door was broken down and his body found. The cause is unknown.

Starr, the author of Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women, had worked in the makeup industry for over two decades, including film and fashion work for clients ranging from Jean Paul Gaultier to Dolce & Gabbana.

Garner testified in the book: “Paul Starr has this uncanny ability to look at a face and see what it needs. He’s done my face a thousand times and never repeated a look. I have never felt more like the best version of myself than when Paul has made me up.”

Said Jolie: “During the time we have spent in the make up chair, we talked about everything but the photo shoot; global issues, babies, human rights…”

Wow, earlier we reported about a member of the Dave Matthews Band passing in his 40’s. That is just too young.
