Reggie Wells, an Emmy-winning make-up artist who, as Oprah Winfrey reflects “used his palette of talent to create beauty” on such celebrity clients as Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and Winfrey herself, died Monday in Baltimore, his hometown, following a lengthy illness.
He was 76. Wells’ death was announced by his family to the Baltimore Sun. “Reggie Wells was an artist who used his palette of talent to create beauty no matter the canvas,” Winfrey said in a statement to the press. “For many years he was my makeup artist.
He called me and everyone he considered a friend ‘Mary.’ He always made me feel beautiful. Ooh my, how we’d laugh and laugh during the process.
He was an astute observer of human behavior and could see humor in the most unlikely experiences.” Winfrey was a Wells client for 30 years before Wells returned to his hometown of Baltimore in 2016 to be closer to his elderly father.
