“I’ve long admired Tom Ford for his cinematic eye towards beauty – elegant, unapologetic and iconic,” she said in the statement. “Here, individuality is celebrated and revered. It’s an honor to be part of its future.”
Bridge’s work has appeared on runways, red carpets, in films and editorials. She is influenced by art, film, travel, culture and social media.
“Bridge’s appointment signals a commitment to uphold the house’s beauty codes while partnering closely with creative director Haider Ackermann to bring the makeup of the runway to life,” the statement said.
Bridge began her global makeup artist position at the spring 2026 ready-to-wear show on Wednesday night in Paris. The looks there included vivid colors and textures on eye lids and lips. Eye lashes were graphic, with varied lengths. Inspiration was gleaned from the show’s runway, which had a glossy navy floor.
Products used to achieve the look included Tom Ford Architecture Radiance Hydrating Foundation SPF 50, the Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo, Runway Lip Color in 18 blended with Lip Color Matte in 08 Velvet Cherry and Slim Lip Color Shine in 16 Scarlet Rouge.
Tom Ford is owned by the Estée Lauder Cos.
