Derrick Rutledge had more than a birthday party hosted with his longtime bestie actress

and comedian Kym Whitley in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020. It was a grand

celebration of life.

Known as one of the most prolific and sought-after makeup artists, he has painted the

faces of some of the most powerful women in this world, including former first lady

Michelle Obama and Beyoncé, and is most notably known for “beating the face” of one of

the most influential women in media and television, Oprah Winfrey. As celebrity guests

arrived for the extravagant birthday celebration, they had nothing but amazing things to

say about their experience with knowing Rutledge over the years.
