In 1997, after spending a year in Europe with Prince, to get an agent to notice his make-up work, David Maderich dolled up his mother as ‘20s actress Marlene Dietrich—the image received national attention and landed him a NYC agent.

For nearly 15 years, Maderich has been one of the go-to make-up artists in New York City. His work has appeared in Modern Salon, Vogue, Elle, Vibe, GQ, Glamour, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Surface and The New York Times. He has a long list of celebrity clients: Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Brad Pitt, Mary Kate Olsen, Meg Ryan, Carmen Electra, Drew Barrymore, Kim Basinger, Joan Collins, as well as hundreds of models.
