Isamaya Ffrench
Make-up Artist
Creative Director
Isamaya Ffrench is a make-up artist and creative director. She studied 3D at Chelsea College of Art followed by product design at Central Saint Martins, and in 2010 she joined the Theo Adams Company, a London-based collective of artists, dancers, musicians, actors and singers. While at university Ffrench worked as a face and body painter for children's parties and began to see the process of painting on faces more stimulating than the subject she was studying.
Formerly Beauty Editor for i-D, YSL Beauté ambassador and International Creative Artistic Consultant for Tom Ford, in 2018 Ffrench became Creative Director of the newly launched Dazed Beauty, was a Global Make-up Ambassador for Christian Louboutin and previously served as Global Beauty Director of Burberry Beauty.
In 2022 Ffrench launched her beauty brand Isamaya Beauty with a series of products inspired by fetish. Her provocative approach to beauty culminated in the launch of her penis-shaped lipsticks that quickly sold out.
She has worked with photographers Sølve Sundsbø, Tim Walker, David Sims, Richard Burbridge, Tyrone Lebon, Miles Aldridge and Nick Knight on publications such as i-D, Vogue Italia, British Vogue, Vogue China, LOVE, Dazed, POP, Garage, AnOther and W. Clients include Hermès, Liberty's of London, Selfridges, Galeries Lafayette, Moncler, All Saints, See by Chloe, Nike, Camper and Chanel and she has worked on shows such as Christopher Shannon, Agi & Sam and Junya Watanabe. Ffrench has also produced window displays for Selfridges, Liberty’s of London and Galleries Lafayette.
