Born in Frankfurt, Germany, and raised in various places across the US as the child of army officers, Michael Anthony has always had a flair for the creative. Playing around with makeup from the age of six, he would often use whatever he found lying around the bathroom and pretend to be at the spa, before moving on to create looks for his sisters, friends, and âanybody who would sit still and trust me,â he says. Honing his craft at MAC Cosmetics, he moved to New York where he assisted industry legends Pat McGrath, Diane Kendal and Mark Carrasquillo.
