Wells was best known as Oprah Winfrey’s long-time makeup artist for 30 years. He would frequently appear on her daytime talk show as a guest. Other A-listers Wells serviced include Beyoncé, Halle Berry, and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Passionate about his craft, the Maryland Institute College of Art graduate also enjoyed beating the faces of senior members of a retirement community in his hometown, the Baltimore Banner reports.

His talents took him all around the world to countries like South Africa, Australia, and the Middle East. Art was always at the forefront of his career with Wells getting his start as an art teacher in Baltimore in the mid-1970s before moving to New York City, where he pursued his dream of becoming a makeup artist. 

Once in the Big Apple, Wells perfected his craft by working at makeup counters before catching the attention of a fashion editor and going on to work for the likes of “Glamour,” “Life” and “Harper’s Bazaar” magazines. It was during his time at “Essence” magazine where he worked on models and celebrities that graced more than 100 covers. 

His work at “Essence” is what led him to Oprah and other A-list Black female entertainers. In 1995, Wells won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Makeup and was nominated four additional times after.
