Kim Baker
Kim Baker is an award-winning makeup artist, entrepreneur, and one of the pioneers of the plus-size modeling industry. Starting her career as a model at 13, she quickly graced the pages of Vogue, Essence, and Lucky Magazine. In the '90s, Kim became a trailblazer in plus-size modeling, challenging industry norms and championing diversity long before inclusivity was mainstream.
Inspired by legends like Fran Cooper, Kevyn Aucoin, and her first makeup artist, the iconic Way Bandy, Kim transitioned to makeup artistry, working with A-list celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Tiffany Haddish, Toni Braxton, and John Legend. Her big break came in 2006 when she worked with Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames for the Mission: Impossible press junket, propelling her career to new heights.
As the founder of Glamazon Beauty, the first Black-owned color cosmetics brand on Shop HQ, Kim is committed to creating high-quality, inclusive beauty products that cater to all skin tones. Her hero product, the award-winning foundation stick, has garnered rave reviews for its flawless application and diverse range. Under her leadership, Glamazon Beauty became the fastest-growing cosmetics brand on Shop HQ and expanded into HSN, Dillard's, and The Shopping Channel in Canada.
Kim’s journey is a testament to her passion for empowering women, breaking barriers in beauty, and helping every woman feel fierce, confident, and unapologetically herself.
