Celeb makeup artist Sir John gives us the low-down on his exclusive collab with Woolworths.

THE RANGE

This is the first contributi­on I’ve given to the beauty community. Everyone in the US was like why aren’t you dropping products here first? But SA speaks to me in a way no other place does. When I’m here I just feel energy. I connect with the women here like I don’t connect with anyone else.

HOW IT STARTED

The head of Woolworths recognised me on a Joan Smalls shoot. They felt like I spoke to the audience in a way no one else did. What’s important to me is to have a connection with a consumer first, not to make money. And Woolworths has already establishe­d that connection with consumers.

VEGAN -INSPIRED

When I say vegan, I mean crueltyfre­e. It means that when we do use a glitter or biochemica­l, it can dissipate and not have any negative a€ffects on the environmen­t. If you think about it, when we get makeup products we always just chuck away the boxes. We wanted to do something to minimise our carbon footprint.
