Hung Vanngo's own makeup line starts with skin

Hung Vanngo Beauty is the makeup artist's own line, shaped by decades of work in fashion and beauty. Born in Vietnam, he grew up in Calgary, moved to Toronto in 2003 and relocated to New York City in 2006.

 

His portfolio spans Vogue, Allure, ELLE, Harper's Bazaar and W, and The Wall Group lists photographers including Mert & Marcus and Craig McDean. The Wall Group also lists Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Lopez among his clients, so I start with the 38-shade Red Carpet Skin foundation.

Color Story palettes, expressive liners and the signature lip

The Color Story palettes are a clear introduction to Vanngo's approach: eight complementary shades in four finishes, grouped by color family. Allure named Hung Vanngo Beauty a One to Watch in its August 2025 review, ahead of the line's September 8 Sephora launch.

 

Vanngo Red was the first lipstick shade he created, in 2021, and it became the brand's signature red. I chose in-stock selections across his precision gel and creamy kohl eyeliners, then reserved the final grid for Creamy Matte Lipstick.

Where I would start with Hung Vanngo's makeup

I would begin with Red Carpet Skin foundation, then keep the rest of the face simple. Vanngo Red is the line's first lipstick shade and the original point of its story. A few controlled choices are enough to see the makeup artist's hand.
