Who is the 16 Year Old Makeup Artist Working With the Kardashians?

​Kids these days. When were teenagers, our main concerns were a) doing well enough in school to avoid our mum shouting at us b) making sure our brown lipliner was ON POINT and c) dousing ourselves in Charlie Body Spray and making eyes at our crush.

But today's youngsters are doing big things - just look at Sam Visser. He might only be 16 years old (!!) but he's fast becoming one of Tinseltown's most in-demand makeup artists.

He's had the blessing of Mario Dedivanovic (Kim Kardashian's longest-standing glam squad member and the most-talked about makeup artist of the moment), commands a 60,000-strong Instagram following and he does the Kardashians' makeup.

Oh, and he was born IN THE YEAR 2000. 

He's done the Kardshian-Jenner's makeup for countless appearances, and he's now even posting from backstage at Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which is inner-circle material.

His style isn't dissimilar to Mario or the other glam squad's members - perfect, almost airbrushed skin, super-long lashes, pops of glittery liner and strong contouring.

All we're saying is watch this space. At such a young age, Sam's talent has taken him further than a lot of makeup artists who've been jobbing for decades. 

He's already working with some of the biggest stars on the planet, and he gets social media - his before-and-after pictures rack up tens of thousands of double-taps.

We expect big things from Mr Visser - probably before he hits 18, too.

*sigh*
